WRX Spotted: BGT Stability Tour putter shaft
When you’re the new kid on the block, there is always going to be rapid innovation.
BGT and the Stability Shaft have proven to provide a tangible benefit to golfer using modern-day, heavier-headed putters and if you are curious about how it works, check out this feature piece done a few months ago (WRX BGT Stability Spotlight).
Here’s the newest shaft from BGT, the Stability Tour.
Although it looks extremely similar to the original Stability there are a couple of noticeable differences that stand our in the tour versions that we haven’t seen yet:
- Even from the naked eye we can see that the new Tour version, has a smaller outside diameter than the original which in theory would make the shaft play softer. That’s not a 100 percent fact since there are different ways to use materials to make a composite (graphite) shaft play stiffer, but since this is the Tour version the assumption is this is to improve feel.
- Black adapter from graphite to steel — it’s a smaller detail, but when it comes to putting and how something looks over the ball every detail counts. This new adapter certainly makes the transition look even cleaner.
We don’ have any official comment yet from BGT on what the specs are for the new Tour option or when it might be coming to retail, but we have reached out and looking forward to hearing more.

Just another marketing gimmick to increase the already exhorbitant golf gear prices: especially Drivers and putters. It’s the “puttie” not the “putter”

Having rolled one of these, i’m saddened by the “tour” being put on the end – as it is a last ditch effort to sell more product. As far as the original, I don’t see it being worth the 200$ they price it at now. The tour is sure to be more expensive. It’s a single-use shaft that made the scotty i put it on feel absolutely crap. A tour version is an attempt to make it prettier and will likely sacrifice some aspect of what people liked on the original. Breakthrough golf lost my interest when it took 4 days to contact someone on why i had to select the head i was putting the shaft in, when tips don’t even come with the shaft (unless it’s a straight shaft). No part of the experience seems worthy of the price tag.

I have this on my putter and it has changed my putting for the better. You still need to understand line and speed but this gives the ball a much better roll.Well worth the price!

Love it! I have the original and it is amazing. My putting stats have improved so it was worth it for me. Try it, you might like it, LOL.

Sort of like the UST Frequency Filter putter shaft, which has been on the market for years and can be had for $29.95.

The original was what? $200?!? How much can they command for the “tour” model? $300? $350?!? Prices on all golf equipment is getting out of control. Drivers over $500 are common. Iron sets under $1,000 are getting scarce. Pretty soon they will “revolutionize” the golf ball again and charge $10-$15/ball!
