BreakThrough Golf Technology is a new shaft company founded by Barney Adams. they started with putter shafts. After a great deal of research and development and testing the Stability Putter shaft was developed. BGT developed a driver shaft built with premium Toray carbon fiber. This first model is light, ranging from 62 to 63 grams. they are stiffer than other shafts in the same weight range.

TrueTemper Project X HZRDUS Black Gen4 Driver Shaft Review

The True Temper HZRDUS Black Gen4 features a new Dual Torsional Design throughout the shaft. It is the fourth HZRDUS Black model so the name Gen4 is appropriate. First was the Black. Next, the Smoke Black. That was followed by the third generation Smoke Black RDX. I see the last three generations as variations on a shaft I had a great respect for, the Project X Loading Zone.

VA Composites Raijin 2.0 Driver Shaft Review

The VA Composites Raijin 2.0 is the second version of the VA Composites Raijin, the first shaft produced by Victor Afable in 2017. Raijin 2.0 bears no similarity to the original Raijin. It is a different design with new materials and is Filament Wound. There are very few foundries the I know of that can filament wind.

Typically carbon fiber shafts use flags of prepreg wrapped around a mandrel. Filament wound shafts are made by wrapping ribbons of prepreg around a mandrel. This is done automatically removing the skill of a craftsman from accurately positioning the prepreg flag. Orientation of the fiber is built into the prepreg ribbon.

Graphite Designs Tour AD CQ Golf Shaft Review

The Graphite Design Tour AD CQ will be available in January 2023. It is the first carbon fiber shaft to utilize Nita 2G NAMD used in tennis racquets. Carbon Nanotube is bound into high modulus graphite fiber. The fiber quickly snaps back to promote a higher degree of energy transfer. The 2G-Namd fiber is used in the butt section of the shaft. I see a unique EI profile I have not seen an any other currently available driver shaft.

If you do not follow my YouTube Channel, Devoted Golfer, this is Bill Mcpherson discussing the Graphite Design Tour AD driver shaft designs:
