Wrong site for this putter........

That's weird. Isn't he always the poster boy for TM new products like the New Tour Burner not the old one?

yeah, i would've expected him to switch to the Tour Burner if he was going to make a switch at all

hmm i like his shirt with the 3 stripes across the back
mattm
Well it is documented that he is having trouble with his putter so I bet he's trying the older driver out too to see if its any better!
Shaitan
It might be better as a putter biggrin.gif
Goldenhawk
There isn't one kind of putter in the world that would make Sergio better on the green on Sundays.

For the life of me I don't understand why Sergio didn't stick with the putter he used at the British Open

he looks like hes struggling to carry that putter!
Bit too heavy for him
Ogre41
Isn't the new Burner like 420cc? Maybe he is just stuck on 460cc? As for the putter, I liked the one at the Open as well, but after missing that putt I would have tossed it in a creek. I'm guessing he didn't though as it hasn't shown up on ebay. tongue.gif

I'm pretty sure there's nothing here that will be discussed between us that Sergio or his coach/caddy haven't thought of.

It's obviously mental. He breaks down in the big spot, bottom line.
wwhitehead
Since he turned pro, Sergio has used more putters than anyone I can name. Changing drivers is one thing, but switching putters once or twice a year can't be good.

That putter makes me want to shoot myself in the foot

Kinda reminds me of the Frankly Frog Putter, which was fugly as well.

The new one's 460 too but I think he's thinking that the driver isn't as important as the putter right now and he's putting all his time in putting. Man, I hope their not telling him "If this big ugly spider putter doesn't work bye bye career."
daddydave
He just can't seem to get it right. Ironically i remember seeing Sergio when he was 16 and cleaning up on the amatuer circuit and his putting was brilliant. I hope he sorts it out because Sergio along with Adam Scott are the two golfers on this planet able to strike a ball like Tiger. They just need to learn how to score like him!!!
markpetrie
Get back to the Scotty Cameron Sergio!!
Skaffa77
Wait...which picture is the putter??? tongue.gif

That thing is not only ugly, but HUGE...
pickerjohn
Sergio just needs to hit it in the 15-20 foot range on every hole, hit a few par five
holes in 2 each round and he'll be okay, he shouldn't 3 putts but very few times and he actually a good putter from that range. 3 footer's are a real problem for him. he winds up putting the same with every putter he tries, hot/cold/change putters.

I can't figure out why he would switch drivers. He absolutely murdered the Superquad.

I actually liked this putter but from what I remember it was only abailable for women. Garcia does change putter frequently...but not as often as I do.
Fillies
In the case of a putter, bigger is not better. Just look at what the rest of the tour is putting with. Oversize = no feedback.

So it would be perfect for Sergio then. cheesy.gif
alanbgolfer
does it seem like he messes around with his equipment a lot? most pros stick with what they use for the most part, atleast for more than a few weeks.

JB Homes just won the FBR with the same putter, in a belly length!

Yes, yes, Amen!

Wasn't consistency the key of the game?...

StephenGolf72
The new Tour Burner is 450cc.
jow
nobody hits the ball like tiger .... when Sergio first burst onto the scene he was a good putter what happened. The put on 18 at the British was a good putt it just didnt fall.... I am glad I didnt have that put I would have shanked it
sehowel
Which version of the burner is he playing?
Big Ben
I'm sorry but I would soon putt with my shoe taped to a stick rather than use that spider thing. I know I know; two wins blah blah blah. Taylormade equipment is cheap looking and ugly; period. I can't stand TM!
proguy
looks like new blades. nissan pics

Hey, its golf equipment, which last time i checked was what this forum was for. A top 20 player switched to new equipment, its relevant.

Look i get it. some people like this site some liek the other site(s). but we can act like adults here. if you don't like the way another site promotes this putter or any of the product they sell then fine, but don't make comments like that which are childish and dumb IMO.

Its a putter, some find it ugly, i know i do, but who the hell cares what site its on?
ronlambplays
Those are the same RAC MB TPs he has been playing with since late '05. They look new because of how well they wear. Beautiful sticks!
BEND OF THE RIVER GC
They should call that putter the TM Swiffer...good for cleaning the dust off the floor and that's about it.

AND for Stina Sternberg...is she a woman?

ugly putter ugly putter! argh...my eyes...
MKGalleryGolf
I loved the fact that he had 2 putters in the bag during the First Round Matches of the WGC.
Goopher
I wouldn't call the new putter ugly - just unusual

the new tour burner tp driver comes 2° open an just might not fit his eye like the burner tp ... and the burner tp normally generates a slightly lower launch angle than the tour burner tp which in turn provides slightly less spin AND the tour burner tp looks strange from the top (which shouldn't be a problem for sergio ... at least not concerning the putter ;-) ) because of the way according to TM reps they tried to lower the center of gravity on those clubs (pretty sure it basically just affects the sound of the club)
DemoDayRAT
I didn't see the putter. But the driver had definitely switched to the Tour Burner.
dolleris
He putted with the new milled Daytona AGSI+ yesterday in the final round of the CA. No Spider belly.
silliwilli
what type of adidas shirt is that in the first picture? the one with the three strips on the back?
MatthewT
Im pretty sure at the WGC match play Sergio had 2 putters in his bag, he just started working with his new putting coach the tuesday before, after that he hasn't used the spider at all to my knowledge

The Tour Burner TP is 450 cc's I'm pretty sure, the orignial Burner TP was 460 though a 10cc difference is pretty unnoticible.
ejmac
I don't have any pics to back this statement up with but this just in Sergio spotted at Augusta with a Scotty NP2 in the bag.
pickerjohn
The NP2 would sound like a Stan Utley influence to me. Going to Stan is
Probably the best move, by far, he's made in years.

Despite the implication, I wouldn't mind finding that out for certain! man_in_love.gif
