Stability Shaft for Putter

Personally I don’t see any advantage in performance. A putter shaft doesn’t bend. Something that doesn’t bend is already stable.

The graphite shafts will offer a different feel, and if that’s what you want it for by all means. I do not think it’s going to make you have a better stroke or putt better though.

Oh I know what they say it does. I just don’t buy it. It’s a shaft that doesn’t bend, either steel or graphite. They do tend to give a little more feedback than a steel shaft and personally I like the reduced glare of a matte black shaft, but I’ve hit many of them and they’re not worth $250 as all they do it feel slightly different.

How quickly the face returns square and forgiveness (MOI) is determined by head shape and weighting, not the shaft.

Appreciate the feedback. I may hold off and see how I like the putter without the shaft

They sent us a putter with a regular steel shaft, and the same putter with their BGT Stability shaft. I was hit or miss with the steel shaft, but made everything with the BGT.

Not sure if that means anything to you, but it kind of turned me into a believer.


ETA: Just tried it again. Missed all 3 with the steel shaft, made all 3 with the BGT shaft.

I have a Betti SS29 SB w/ stability shaft and it makes all the difference in the world. If you take any advice, take it from folks that have used the shaft rather than someone giving an opinion without having the experience of rolling with one. Nice choice in the putter. Beauty.

Thanks for the input. I'm likely going to add it in the next few weeks but I've loved the putter as is so far.

I put this shaft in mine, about 18 months ago, as well. I can honestly say it made me a better putter. I really can't speak to the science, bc I'm not that smart. It may be the look, confidence, etc, but it did feel different for me.

I feel confident saying that none of us are or will ever be as good as those two, and 99% of us would get beat by them this afternoon

But if it truly helped my putting, which is extremely inconsistent, then $250 is a steal

Everyone is different. That’s why there are so many options out there. I’m glad you found something that works. I think a slab of led tape would do something similar to this shaft.

I’ve hit a putter with that shaft. I can see how it would help some people. Personally, I need more weight in the putter head not the shaft.

Just my .02 you should read Dave Pelz putting bible if you haven't, former NASA scientist.

Basically quantifying the factors that determine where putts go, I would imagine not even a robot putting machine would be at the level where putter shaft performance could have a quantifiable effect on putting outcomes, especially when you throw in the variables like footstep impressions, the donut hole effect, wind etc.

Even putter path is far less important than face angle at impact.
