Despite being a relatively new category, stability putter shafts are already changing the game for every player. Greater stiffness and stability in a shaft lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pxg.com\/the-range\/blog\/the-best-putting-tip-you-need\/\">more consistent putting strokes and more putts made<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Sets the PXG M16 Putter Shaft Apart from Its Competitors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When we&nbsp;set out to develop this M16, our engineers completed benchmark testing&nbsp;against many of the high dollar aftermarket products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The PXG M16 Putter Shaft boasts an impressively stiff butt frequency, measured at 386 cycles per minute (CPM). Butt frequency, measured in CPM, is a method of calculating the overall stiffness of a golf shaft. The higher the frequency, the stiffer the shaft. Data shows the M16 Shaft ranges 10% to 20% stiffer than many other high-priced aftermarket putter shafts promoted for their stiffness and stability. <strong>The PXG M16 is also 26% stiffer than a traditional steel putter shaft.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Technology Behind our Super-Stable Putter Shaft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-Material Construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The PXG M16 Putter Shaft features a multi-material construction, with an upper section built from high modulus carbon fiber and a lower tip built from steel. Unlike typical steel putter shafts, this unique dual composition helps to deliver more stiffness and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A_QOB9XevlE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Superior Engineering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The PXG M16 Putter Shaft features twenty-two steel wires interlaid down the outer ring of the shaft, each strategically positioned to enhance stiffness. The inner-most area is filled with a high modulus 60T carbon fiber, stiffer than the standard modulus 24T carbon fiber. Two rubber sheets sit sandwiched between the steel wires and carbon fiber to generate a soft, yet solid, feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contoured Shape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed with a multi-material construction, the shaft transitions from graphite to steel. While the steel tip features a traditional taper, the lower section of the graphite sector utilizes a larger diameter and thicker material construction to further enhance stability and stiffness, while maintaining its sleek aesthetic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of a Stabilized Putter Shafts According to Our Chief Product Engineer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We asked our Chief Product Engineer what golfers should expect from the M16 Putter Shaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf looked at it from a theoretical perspective,&nbsp;you basically want a shaft that&#8217;s infinitely stiff but provides&nbsp;incredible feel and response off the putter face.&nbsp;That&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;ve achieved with this new technology.
