TPT golf shafts can add more yards to your drives

If you’re looking for a shaft that can deliver more distance, then the driver shafts from TPT can make your life easier. 

We all want it to hit it longer and straighter, and one way of doing that is by looking at your golf shaft. 

TPT shafts are designed with that in mind, given their unique continuous fibre design and bend profile. So, how does it work? Allow us to explain…

No spine, no problem 

The majority of golf clubs have a spine where one side of steel or graphite meets the other, but the TPT shaft doesn’t. This is a rolled, continuous fibre which doesn’t have a spine in the shaft. This allows for is more consistency in performance and stability in the club face, which results in more central strikes.

No matter where you adjust your your club head, you’ll always find the same performance – even if you change the hosel setting. 

Flexing 

The rolled carbon fibre design makes the shaft incredible stable and easy to control. You might also find that using a slightly softer shaft than usual will give you more distance and ball speed, as a result of the stable shaft profile. This has been proven in many cases, with the likes of Martin Borgmeir, World Long Drive Champion, using something the equivalent of a senior/ladies flex because it’s so stable. 

Use the bend 

The optimised bend profile of each shaft is designed so you can swing it faster with less effort and generate more speed. This results in more distance and better overall consistency. You’ll also see an increase in club head speed and ball speed. 

How many shaft options? 

There are eight shaft options across the Power range in drivers, fairways and hybrids with the option to have a Hi or LO option. The Hi option offers higher launch, whereas the LO is the lower launching option, so you have a huge amount of choice and variety to choose from.

The shafts aren’t marked with regular, stiff or extra stiff but are number are numbered from 21-14, 21Hi being the softest option and 14 being the stiffest option. 

Let’s Torque it out 

Torque plays a big factor in golf shafts as it’s the amount of twisting the shaft has at the tip, also known as tip stiffness. For example, if you want the stiffest tip in the TPT, you would look at the 14LO, and if you wanted the softest tip possible, you would look at the 21Hi. But the options available are huge, so you’ll have no issue finding the ideal shaft. 

Weight a minute 

Weight can also play a factor in shaft selection, which can come down to personal preference on how it feels and how it performs. The way it works with the TPT shafts is that the lighter the shaft, the softer it is. So, for example, a TPT 21Hi Power weighs 45 grams and a TPT 14LO 85 grams.

These are at the opposite end of the scale. 

Nitro range 

There is another range called Nitro, and it’s all about torque. The shafts feature more flex, stiffer torque and are lighter in weight. This range is designed to deliver more shaft bend profile, more club head stability – which leads to faster club speed – explosive ball speed and distance. It uses the whip of the shaft to generate speed and power, while the carbon fibre design delivers the stability of the club head at impact.
