BGT Stability Tour Fire Putter Shaft Review - Consistently a More Stable Putting Stroke

Did you ever play the classic Operation game?  You're a doctor, Cavity Sam is your patient, and the only surgical tool you have to make Sam feel better is a pair of tweezers.  One wrong move and you get zapped.  It's a game of dexterity and the gist is you need steady hands to cure Sam of his ailments.

I mention this because the new BGT Stability Tour Fire putter shaft created a heightened feel of connection between my hands and the putter head.  It also removed excessive hand and wrist action from my stroke.  And for some crazy reason it reminded me of the game Operation.  The BGT Tour Fire shaft is the real deal and made my stroke consistently more stable.
