I have a long history with TPT. i visited their headquarters in 2018 when they first entered the golf shaft business. My first review of the TPT Driver shafts was published in 2018. There was a restructuring of management and I lost touch until earlier this year. The USA distributor is J&S Golf. Their re-emergence into the USA market comes with a tour win by Jason Day at the AT&T Byron Nelson in 2023 playing the Nitro 15 Lo in his driver. Club fitters interested in carrying TPT shafts can send an email to info@TPTgolfshaftsusa.com.

The TPT Nitro new driver shaft comes in two models, Hi and Lo and I measured all versions of both models.

TPT, Thin Ply Technology, has its roots in America’s Cup yacht racing. They developed carbon fiber sails for America’s Cup yachts. They shaped carbon fiber into sails that maintained their shape. After successive America’s Cup wins, TPT moved their innovative carbon fiber processes to other industries, automotive, aerospace, aviation, snow sports and golf. They construct their own prepreg from the best fibers. Then form it into structures.

TPT makes their shafts out of carbon fiber ribbon cut from the prepreg sheets they make. The ribbon is wrapped around the shaft mandrel. The result is a seamless shaft with uniform stiffness in all orientations. That was verified in my measurement, Radial Quality, shown below. It is the best in the business.

Most shafts are hand wrapped resulting is shaft to shaft variance. TPT shafts are CNC wrapped around the shaft mandrel. This eliminates shaft to shaft variations. The shaft you are fit with is exactly the same as the shaft that will be installed in your driver.
