TaylorMade OS and OS CB putters

Published

on

The OS in TaylorMade’s new OS and OS CB putters stands for “oversize.” With its new putter line, the company took two of its most popular blade and mallet putters — the Daytona and Monte Carlo — and increased their size, which increased their forgiveness as well as the size of their alignment aids.

Clay Long, TaylorMade’s Director of Product Creation for Irons and Wedges, has been designing putters for a long time, most famously the MacGregor Response ZT 615 putter Jack Nicklaus used to win the 1986 Masters. That putter had an extremely high moment of inertia (MOI), a measure of forgiveness, thanks to its all-aluminum construction, which allowed the putter to be made bigger but gave it a non-traditional sound.

The OS and OS CB putters have a high MOI, but don’t skimp on feel thanks to their thin-wall, polymer-filled construction. The putters are cast from steel and then “skim milled,” which gives them a premium look and consistent shaping. After the milling process, polymer is injected into the putter bodies to dampen their sound, and the backs of the putters are then sealed with a red aluminum insert. The OS and OS CB putters also use a new TaylorMade 6061 aluminum face insert, which is vertically milled to create more friction at impact for a better ball roll.

According to Long, the OS Daytona putter is 7 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour Daytona. The OS Daytona CB, which stands for “counter balanced,” has a heavier head and heavier grip to help golfers make a smoother stroke. Its putter head measures 13 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour Daytona. The OS Monte Carlo is 5 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour model and 12 percent larger in the CB version.

The new line also includes a Spider OS putter, which is available in a standard and CB version that has a more square look than past Spider models from TaylorMade.

All six putters will be in stores March 18, and come stock with SuperStroke’s Mid Slim 2.0 grip (the CB versions use a 13.75-inch SuperStroke 2.0 XL grip). Learn more about each model below.

    Imaginative responses. I’ve played a Newport 2 for 11 years – my first and only putter. Just bought this TM because the ball continued dropping center cut after three demo days. But you chumps know everything, right?

    If it helps me make putts and is legal, i don’t care what it looks like.

    Look interesting, maybe a few too many bells and whistles, but overall ok (I use an original Spider putter). Not a fan of the aluminum insert though as I prefer the softer insert used in the original ghost putters. Will have to try in person I guess.

    Sergio Garcia is no longer a teenager. Even he doesn’t want to dress it up like a clown any more. Get with it, TM

    Cool Ideas – Polymer fill, higher MOI

    Bad – Red sight line, tacky looking, cheap looking insert, >$200.

    Overall – Shank.

    And TM wonders why they’re in trouble… If you make stuff like this and then attempt to peddle it to the discerning golfers at over $200 you deserve the lack of sales you’re about to see. They went from innovative and high performing/quality to a “churn it out” and we’ll market the hell out of it type of business model and this is just bad… They haven’t made a clean milled putter since the Kia Ma days and the comments on here should be read in their next board meeting.

Spotted: Amy Yang’s T.P. Mills Fleetwood putter

Published

on

This week, we spotted Amy Yang with a rare putter in her bag at the 2023 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. The putter was made by legendary putter maker T.P. Mills and the head shape is called “Fleetwood.” If you are not familiar with T.P. Mills, the company was founded in 1963 by Truett P. Mills, Sr. who wanted to make a better putter than what was available. His original putters were crafted with basic hand tools in his garage out of of carbon steel. His son David is now crafting the handmade putters after many years learning and working with his father. The company still offers the classic Softtail, Huey, Ming, 8802, and many more putters from his shop in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The Fleetwood is considered heel-shafted and has a wide flange that blurs the line between blade and mallet. Amy’s Fleetwood features a single sightline on the wide flange and some “snow” stamping on the top of the bumpers. Those bumpers flare up at the toe and heel, pushing weight to the outside for added stability and a balanced feel throughout the stroke. The large back cavity has some snow stamping above “My Wand” text that is stamped and filled with white paint. The topline looks slightly rounded for a softer look and blends in nicely with the width of the putter. A half-shaft offset flow neck is welded to the head while the face features a shallow milling pattern and unique “Mills” stamping near the heel.

The “Super Bullet” sole contains a large oval cavity where material is removed to dial in the desired head weight of the putter. This main cavity is in combination with two additional round cavities out at the toe and heel area. Yang’s Fleetwood is milled from Swiss-German stainless steel, as that is what is stamped into the center of the sole.

A traditional chrome steel shaft is installed and the putter is finished off with a Rosemark 1.52 MFS (microfiber silicone) putter grip in a white and teal.
