Spotted: 2017 Titleist irons at the Sanderson Farms

Published

on

We spotted new Titleist irons at the Sanderson Farms Championship, where they were being tested by Scott Stallings and Matt Jones. The irons appear to be early prototypes intended for release with Titleist’s 2017 iron line.

The back of the prototype irons were covered with tape, but it’s clear that they were being tested against Titleist’s 716 iron line, including the 716 T-MB irons. All irons being tested appeared to be long irons.

Is this the new AP2?

Is this the new AP2?

Titleist generally releases a new line of irons every other year. The company’s 716 line (MB, CB, AP2, T-MB and AP1) was released in the fall of 2015, and tour players began using the clubs in competition in July 2015. The 714 irons were released in the fall of 2013, and the 712 irons were released in the fall of 2011.

Consider this initial testing, and expect changes to be made to the design of the clubs based on player feedback between now and their expected release to PGA Tour players in July 2017.

Spotted: Tommy Fleetwood’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X Prototype putter

Published

on

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.

This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.

Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.

The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.

Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.
