I enjoyed this interview from last fall with golf equipment legend Barney Adams. For those who don’t know, his Tight Lies Fairway woods at Adams Golf pretty much changed golf for many golfers at the time. He is doing some great work, in his 80s, with Breakthrough Golf Technology (breakthroughgolftech.com). I’ve been very impressed with his new, dynamic Paradox Putters. Link to interview in comments.

Paradox Putters
Designed For The Motion That Matters
Zero-torque and face balance only describe how a putter behaves at rest—but putting happens in motion. Paradox is Swing Balanced to stay stable throughout the entire stroke, delivering truer roll, tighter start lines, and consistency you can count on.
Breakthrough Golf: Where Innovation Meets Performance
Located in the heart of Texas—a state steeped in golf tradition—Breakthrough Golf is redefining what performance means in the modern game. Founded by golf industry legend Barney Adams, our company was born from a simple belief: real innovation still has a place in golf.
Years ago, we conducted a high-speed camera study using equipment capable of capturing 10,000 frames per second. That study confirmed what we had long suspected—traditional putter shafts oscillate during the stroke. And when putting demands a square face at impact, even the slightest movement matters.
So we engineered a solution: a patented putter shaft that eliminates that unwanted flex while preserving the classic feel of steel. It took two years to perfect. The result was the Stability shaft—one of the most popular and proven putter shafts ever made.
We applied our performance-first philosophy across the entire shaft lineup. That became our business. But the mission didn’t stop there.
That’s why Barney Adams expanded—starting with the Paradox putter. Its revolutionary design integrates shaft, head weight distribution, and the golfer to develop a patented technology. It’s unlike anything else on the market—and that’s exactly the point.
Every year, the golf industry invests millions chasing breakthroughs. Most fall short. At Breakthrough Golf, we don’t just chase innovation—we lead it.
We’re just getting started. Our mission is clear: to deliver longer, straighter, more consistent shots—across every club in the bag.
