TPT Pulse putter shafts: Different feels, same great performance
Last week, we highlighted the launch of TPT Golf’s new Pulse putter shafts, which I got to check them out further down at the 2026 PGA Show. TPT has been pushing the limits in wood and iron shaft design since the mid-2010s, and now the company is taking that knowledge to the green.

The new Pulse putter shaft line is made up of three models that offer distinctly different performance and feel to match any putting stroke out there. Each shaft is created using TPT’s Thin Ply Technology, which uses ultra-thin carbon fiber layers to control bending and twisting more accurately. The engineering team also incorporated 4-Ply technology that lets the automated machines lay each carbon fiber layer at a specific angle for maximum performance.
We visited the TPT booth at the PGA Show, and it was packed with golfers who wanted to hear the story and roll a few putts to get a feel for the Pulse. There is definitely a buzz swirling around the company’s foray into putter shafts.

Pulse 50
You wouldn’t know this is the softest profile in the Pulse line unless you tried the other models. The Pulse 50 is still very stout and probably has a flex closest to a higher-end steel shaft. There is a little flex there for feel and should suit a slower tempo, more deliberate putting stroke, really well. The impact feel, to me, was the softest of the three models. It gave the Odyssey Ai-One Milled putter a more muted sound and reduced a little of the click that the insert usually produces. A few other people at the TPT booth also expressed amazement at how the Pulse 50 felt really good as they went through the line.

Pulse 60
While the 60 is the middle shaft in the Pulse line, it would probably be one of the stiffest shaft offerings from other manufacturers. There is a great feel of knowing where the head it at through the stroke as the shaft hardly flexes, even with newer, heavier heads. I personally like the stiff feel of the Pulse 60 and feel like it will fit a wide range of putting strokes. The impact feel is a little firmer than the 50 and for players who like that firmness as feedback, this shaft should offer a little more. Players who like a little more audible feedback will get a touch more click to their ears as well but it won’t be wildly amplified.

Pulse 70
Just grabbing the Pulse 70 off the rack will let you know it is the stiffest model in the line. Go ahead and do the typical waggle test, and you won’t feel any flex. For golfers who like that ultra-stiff feel or with a short, poppy stroke, this could be the shaft that feels right at home. The Pulse 70 can handle quick, jerky movements without loss of accuracy or unintended face movement at impact. When the putter head does get to impact, you will get the most crisp feel out of the three shafts. Sound will also be the most crisp as your senses will be able to pick up the slightest changes in impact location on the face.

TPT Golf has engineered these three shafts as a family, with all of them offering high stability and consistency. This means that no matter the model that fits your stroke and feel preferences, you aren’t giving up accuracy and consistency. The engineers at TPT have ensured that performance comes first, even refusing to paint the shafts, as this adds layers that could affect how they perform. TPT is truly bringing something special to the putting space.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
