New 2019 TaylorMade TP Patina Putter Collection features an updated Pure Roll insert
TaylorMade has announced the upcoming release of their TP Patina Putter Collection—a collection of seven new putters featuring a New Pure Roll insert.
All seven putters in the brand’s collection feature a new and thicker 5mm aluminum Pure Roll insert which is designed to bring the grooves into direct contact with the ball. According to the company, the Pure Roll insert’s 45-degree grooves improve forward roll, helping the ball start and stay on its intended line, compared to a solid face.
The collection also contains new signature TP screws that securely fasten the Pure Roll insert to the putter face – in a bid to minimize voids and air pockets below the insert and to create an improved and solid feel at impact.
Blade Options
Each blade putter in the series features a single sightline on the back cavity, while as with each putter in the new collection the naming convention for the putters draw on inspiration from areas, regions and landmarks of some of the world’s greatest golf destinations and historic courses.
Soto
Features 47 degrees of toe hang and a full-shaft offset.
Juno
Shaped with squared contours, Juno contains 36 degrees of toe hang and a full-shaft offset.
Del Monte
The Del Monte features a slight toe hang of 8 degrees.
Mallet Options
Ardmore 1
A face-balanced mallet designed with dual cavity sightlines and on top sightline. The Ardmore 1 features a full-shaft offset intended to promote a linear stroke.
Ardmore 2
With double cavity sightlines designed for a straight back, straight through stroke, the Ardmore 2 features a face-balanced toe hang and single bend TM hosel.
Ardmore 3
Featuring a 42 degree toe hang on a short slant hosel with a single cavity sightline.
DuPage
The DuPage mallet putter contains a single bend, face-balanced design.
The TP adjustable weight system enables the TP soleweights to be unique to each stock length to hit a specific swing weight. Weights ranging from 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, and 20 grams are available for sale separately.
Each model in the TP Patina Putter Collection comes equipped with a KBS CT Taper Stepless Chrome Putter shaft and a Super Stroke Pistol GT 1.0 grip, and the entire collection is available in 34” and 35” lengths in both RH & LH models.
The new collection from TaylorMade is available at retail from September 6 with an MSRP of $249.99 per putter.

Putter Roundup: 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans
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.

Equipment
Spotted: Project X Denali hybrid shaft
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!
