New TPT Red Range Shafts offer an “Improvement Guarantee”
Swiss manufacturer TPT has just introduced the newest shafts to its lineup: the Red Range.
The shafts are created with Continuous Fiber technology, a patent-pending automated shaft manufacturing process that continuously winds the carbon-fiber prepreg material around the shaft mandrel from tip to handle. The result is golf shafts produced without seams or spines, which can reduce performance and consistency, according to the company.
“Continuous Fiber means that our shafts are made with one start and one stop,” says TPT Co-Founder Gerard Gautier. “We don’t have over-layers. We don’t have gaps. And we can do this because unlike our competitors, we’re not making shafts by hand. We’re using automation.”
TPT Technology
The Red Range of shafts uses TPT’s all-new Thin-Ply 2.0 carbon-fiber prepreg, which according to TPT is two times stronger and three times tougher than the company’s original Thin-Ply material used in its Blue Range.
The Thin-Ply 2.0 utilizes an improved resin formulation TPT developed exclusively for its golf division that gave its designers the freedom to push the performance and durability of TPT shafts further than the previous generation.
The prepreg material is created with an automated process that takes TPT’s ultra-thin carbon-fiber and stacks it together in precise orientations. The sheets are then fused together to multiply their strength and toughness before they’re cut into strips and wound from tip to handle to create a seamless, spineless golf shaft.
The TPT Guarantee
Some golfers have a hard time justifying the performance benefits associated with aftermarket shafts, but TPT is attempting to remove any doubt by introducing the Automatic Improvement Guarantee, a statement of the confidence that its Red Range shafts will offer golfers longer, straighter drives when fit by a TPT Authorized Fitter.
According to the company: “The Automatic Improvement Guarantee is simple. If golfers aren’t seeing the same improved performance with a TPT shaft that they saw in their fitting, they can return it to their participating TPT Authorized fitter within 30 days of purchase for a return or exchange.”
Price and Availability
The Red range shaft series is categorized numerically 14-19, each of which is available in both Hi and Lo models (12 in total). The naming system prioritizes dynamic performance over the non-standardized monikers typically used to define shaft models.
TPT Red shafts are $500 each and are available exclusively through their network of more than 200 authorized fitters around the world.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

I normally don’t flinch at price. If PXG would come out with a single-length iron set, I’d probably bite. But $500 per shaft? If you’re really serious, that’s $6,000 or so for the bag. Please. I’d love to hear the value proposition where you get $6,000 more of performance, satisfaction, or whatever. Go ahead, I can’t wait to hear it.

Hey smart guy
“ Red Range shafts will offer golfers longer, straighter drives when fit by a TPT Authorized Fitter.”
In case you truly can’t read even with a second chance, I’ll point out the words “drives.”
Pxg single length … Everything about your post is wrong. Just stop

Seeing Leadbetter as their primary endorsement actually would discourage me from using these even if they were free.
Hell. No.
