Proto black shaft — TaylorMade Ghost putter
![](https://www.golfwrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/black-prototype.jpg)
Below are pictures of a prototype black shaft that some TaylorMade tour players have been gaming in their putters. There are rumors that this could come to retail as early as next year.
This shaft is steel — not graphite.
It is installed in a 48″ Manta Ghost with a black and white two-piece Winn grip. The sightline cut on the top line of the putter is also custom.
The shaft has a textured surface and a matte finish — makes for a nice contrast with the putter head at address. Enjoy!

Three Swing Challenge: Testing the Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks A+ grind
![](https://www.golfwrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Blank-1014-x-768.png)
The first wedge has made its way to the Three Swing Challenge! This week we have the WedgeWorks A+ grind that was recently released by Vokey. BK is looking for a new 60-degree wedge, and this could be a contender.
Why three swings?
Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf told us this:
“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2 and discounted No. 3 because the player was starting to adjust.”
