TaylorMade releases new Daddy Long Legs+ putter

Published

on

TaylorMade’s Daddy Long Legs putters have been one of the best-selling models for the company in recent years, boasting big forgiveness with a counter-balanced design and a high-MOI head shape that can help golfers smooth out their strokes.

With the new Daddy Long Legs+, TaylorMade added even more overall MOI to the putter (the MOI is 8856, if you’re into the numbers). The company used a lightweight True Temper steel shaft and a SuperStroke XL 2.0 grip that has a 125-gram weight in its butt end to move the balance point of the putter 2 inches higher and put 200 percent more weight above a golfer’s hands at address.

Other changes for the Daddy Long Legs+ include TaylorMade’s new deep-milled 6061 aluminum insert, which feels softer at impact than the PureRoll Surlyn insert used in the Daddy Long Legs 2.0 putter.

Daddy Long Legs+ putters are face-balanced, and will be available on July 15 for $249. They will be offered with a single bend at 34.5-, 36- and 38-inch lengths.

    I own the original DLL. I like the putter. 95% depends on the golfer and his/her confidence of sinking a putt. That being said the original white DLL I have has suffered many paint chips and looks like crap. I may or may not get this. Im sure there will be a better model out (DDL 3.0) in 2-4 months anyways. Play what you want guys and dont worry too much about other people! SEE IT ROLL IT HOLE IT

    I have a DLL and it is a great putter. Will have to try the new one to see if it feels different than mine.

    The rules of golf state: “The club must not be substantially different from the traditional and
    customary form and make.”

    The USGA really slipped up on enforcing their own club rules.

    Good for them for just owning up to it and not even vailing the blatant copying anymore…

Q&A: Martin Trainer on his Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers” putter, 6.5-degree driver, and “butter knife” 2-iron

Published

on

As unbiasedly as I can put it, Martin Trainer has one of the coolest club setups in professional golf. (At some point soon, I’ll put together a top-10 list of “coolest club setups on Tour,” but I know that Trainer will be in the top-10)

What a lineup. He plays a 6.5-degree Wilson prototype driver, a 13-degree Wilson prototype 3-wood, a true blade Wilson Staff Model 2-iron, and a Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers Commemorative” putter!

I mean, look at this 2-iron from address…

To quote the great author R.L. Stine: “Goosebumps.”

On Wednesday at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, I caught up with Trainer to learn more about his bag setup.

Here’s what he had to say:

You have the Internet going crazy over your bag setup, and your putter. Where’d you pick the Bobby Grace-Greg Chalmers putter up? How long have you had it?

MT: This was from when Bobby Grace came to my course in California: Cal Club. And for whatever reason, they just started having them in the shop. So then I took my buddy’s, started using it, and made, like, a million putts in a row, which is how every putter story begins, I guess.

And then, I bought a couple of my own, used it for years, got to the Tour with it, won on Tour with it (the 2019 Puerto Rico Open). Then, about a year later, started using another putter, did that for a couple years, but now it’s back in the bag.

When did it come back in the bag?

MT: December of this past year. So a few months ago.

What year would you say was the first time you threw that in the bag, or, like, when you bought it?

MT: God…Probably, 2016, maybe? 2018?

Do you remember how much you paid for it?

MT: I don’t know, actually. Maybe $100-150 bucks or something. I think that’s the only golf club I’ve bought between high school and now. Well, two, since I bought two of them.

The driver is interesting, too. What went into the prototyping process?

MT: That was a version of the current driver, but it was the prototype that they first came out with for Tour guys to try. And for whatever reason, I just never switched out to the new one.

It’s just 6.5 degrees, right?

MT: Yeah. Very low loft, yeah.

What kind of ball speed do you have with that these days?

MT: Like high 170’s.

Yeah, that’ll work. And then a 2-iron blade? We’re seeing fewer and fewer of those out here.

MT: Yeah. The butter knife.

Very cool thing to have in the bag. Have you done any testing with driving irons? 

MT: Yeah, I used to have a thicker one, but it was a little offset, and I never hit it that well. And then finally, I started messing around with the butter knife. And I remember the first time I looked down at it, I was terrified. And then I ended up getting used to it, putting it in play, and it’s been in place since. It’s a pretty good club for me.

How far do you carry that? 

MT: Like 235.

A good little wind club, I’m sure.

MTL Yeah, exactly. I can hit it very low. It’s great.

I love it. You have people shook looking at that. Thanks for the time, man. 

MT: Absolutely.
