BGT Stability Shaft
Now almost 80, Barney Adams — who in the 1980s took a little company with a big idea, Adams Tight Lies, and turned the woods market upside down — is going for another grand slam home run with Breakthrough Golf Technology (BGT), a startup company he founded about three years ago. Currently, BGT’s sole product is a multi-material, standard-length, stabilized putter shaft, simply named “The Stability Shaft.”
Designed to improve any golfer’s game, the Stability Shaft delivers the face more squarely at impact for improved accuracy, solid feel and lower launch for a predictable roll, resulting in better distance control. It’s a perfect synergy of technology and materials to improve putting performance.
Adams teamed with of one of the nicest, smartest and most experienced putter experts, Blair Phillip, to be his Vice President of R&D. Blair was formerly with YES! Golf which manufactured great putters with Blair’s designs.
A testing group rolled putts with the Stability Shaft and the consensus was that it felt very similar to their current putters. As for a change in the weight/balance/feel of your putter, your putter will feel the same, and the overall weight is within a few grams of steel putter shafts.
The company offers a one-year product warranty, which covers any defects that could happen during the normal course of play. — Barry Lotz
