9 great finds in Masters-themed gear, apparel, and more

Published

on

It’s time for a tradition unlike any other: Masters-themed equipment and apparel, of course. You know, equipment inspired by Pimento Cheese sandwiches, Azaleas, Georgia peaches, Amen Corner, and anything green-and-yellow.

Here’s a look at a few of the products that caught our eye ahead of the Masters.

Sugarloaf Social Club/MacKenzie Par-3 Bag

Inspired by the Masters Par-3 Contest, MacKenzie and Sugarloaf teamed up to design this superb six-inch-in-diameter carry bag to haul a few clubs.

Gnome

While available only at the official Masters merchandise shop at Augusta National, the Masters Yard Gnome (in his Augusta National caddie suit!) is a must-have. MMO golf can get you one…or there’s always eBay.

Nike Magnolia Pack

Nike is yet to release its full “Magnolia Pack,” but check out the Roshe G bearing Augusta’s signature flower.

State Traditions’ Georgia hat

State Traditions’ Georgia hat is a subtle ode to the home state of the Masters.

Edel Flagstick putter cover

Edel’s putter covers inspired by ANGC’s iconic flagsticks. Brilliant!

Swing Juice “Local Legend” tee

If you want to appeal to hardcore golf fans with a less-than-obvious Masters-related tee, try this Jeff Knox-inspired piece.

Lee Wybranski Masters commemorative poster

Golf’s resident artist, Lee Wybranski, is at it again with his Masters commemorative poster.

Life & Loft “Augusta”

Continuing with the “things to hang on your wall” theme, Lie & Loft’s Augusta print showcases the fames layout in a minimalist fashion.

Ahead Jack Nicklaus “Majors” Cap

Masters colors + Golden Bear + number of Jack’s green jackets on the side = awesome headwear.

    Last May a bronze statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee was removed from New Orleans. Maybe Augusta National should be plowed under based on it’s past politically incorrect history.

      Lee’s statue will do quite nicely for the time being.

    Shouldn’t the Masters Yard Gnome be Afromerican? 😮

Putter Roundup: 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Published

on

We always get some great photos of some phenomenal putters at tour events and love to share them. Here are a few from the 2024 Zurich Classic that caught our eye and seemed interesting. (And as a reminder, you can check out all our photos from New Orleans here)

MJ Daffue’s Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype

MJ is going with the new Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype this week. The putter is a multi-piece mallet that puts an emphasis on stability with the wings on the back. Daffue’s putter does have a design that differs from retail with a monotone finish, which eliminates the black paint on the aluminum parts that we see at retail. He also has a half siteline milled into the top and an L-neck welded on for some additional toe hang. The face features a deeper milling that should offer a softer feel and slightly quieter sound.

Scotty Cameron T-7.5 Prototype

We spotted a few different Scotty Cameron Phantom models with modified rear flanges. It looks like the straight black flange was cut into a half circle for a little softer look at address. On this T-7.5, you can still see the raw aluminum from the back view, so this might have been a last-minute job to get them out on tour. The semi-circle also has a white line on it, maybe to frame the ball differently.

Alex Fitzpatrick’s Bettinardi SS16 DASS

Alex’s SS16 is made from Bettinardi’s famous D.A.S.S., or double-aged stainless steel, for a softer and more responsive feel. The face has a unique diamond pattern milling and features a logo that I feel like I have seen before, but can’t put a name to. The putter is a classic mid-mallet style with a simple, single white siteline on the top. The sole is clean with just the SS16, DASS, and a green triangle logo on it.

Steve Stricker’s Odyssey White Hot No. 2

This putter has made some amazing putts in its long career! Stricker’s White Hot No. 2 might be in the top 10 of most famous putters in golf. When you see all the dents and lead tape, you know the heel will be up and it will be sinking putts! The soft White Hot insert looks to be in good shape and has less wear on it than the rest of the putter. We don’t know how much lead tape is on the sole, but it has to be multiple layers compacted down over the years.

Doug Ghim’s Scotty Cameron T-7 Prototype

This T-7 should win the award for “best color finish” in this list with its deep chromatic bronze. It looks like Scotty added a cherry bomb dot to the heel of the deep-milled face and filled it with a very dark blue paint. The rest of the putter looks pretty stock with its single site line on the topline and twin site lines down the “fangs” of the putter. Twin 5-gram weights are installed in the sole and the putter is finished off with a gloss black double bend shaft with a fill shaft offset.

Spotted: Project X Denali hybrid shaft

Published

on

Project X’s Denali wood shafts have been seen in more and more golf bags this year as we start off the season. As a refresher, Denali Blue is the mid-launch and mid-spin model while Denali Black is for players seeking lower launch and spin.

Denali combines great feel with stability and increased ball speed. Currently, Project X only offers Denali Blue and Black in wood shafts, but we spotted a hybrid shaft in Daniel Berger’s bag at the 2024 Zurich Classic.

The shaft looks to be a Denali Blue 105G – HY in TX flex. No word on details from Project X yet but we can assume that this is a mid-launching shaft that weighs around 105 grams in Tour X-Stiff flex.

Berger has this shaft in his TaylorMade P770 3-iron, likely for some added launch and spin to hold the green from longer distances.

Hopefully, this means we will see some more shafts coming under the Denali name in the future, as I think many of us would like to try one in a hybrid or utility iron!
