TPT has introduced a revolutionary putter shaft designed to improve stability, consistency, and feel, but is it worth the upgrade? We have specifically chosen golfers who already use a L.A.B. putter to test this out. They will be sent the exact same model of their current L.A.B. putter—same length, grip, and lie angle—but with the new TPT shaft. The goal is to compare the two side by side and determine if the TPT shaft offers significant improvements over the standard option.

Key Features of the TPT Shaft:

Stability and Control: Engineered to minimize twisting during the stroke, allowing for more consistent putts.

Enhanced Feel: Designed to provide a smoother stroke and better overall feedback to the golfer.

Comparative Testing: Testers will directly compare the TPT shaft to their current L.A.B. putter shaft, offering real-world feedback on whether the upgrade is worth the investment.

What they will be testing:
Dedicated L.A.B. putter users will take a deep dive into data comparison between their current putter and one equipped with a TPT shaft. They will focus on the differences in control, consistency, and feel to determine if the upgrade translates to better putting performance. This is an in-depth test meant for golfers who are willing to provide detailed feedback on their experience with both shafts.

Please welcome and congratulate our testers.

Really excited to have been selected for this test as I've been wanting to try the TPT for a while.

Mine will be testing against a DF3 armlock with Accra. I have another Mezz Max with steel shaft, but the side by side comparison will be against the DF3.

Really excited to hear there's a DF3 Accra vs TPT battle 🙂

Going to be interesting to see if it makes a measurable difference. I wanted to pull the trigger on the TPT but the price was a bit steep without being able to test it in person
