James Patrick (JP) Harrington and Titleist part ways

Published

on

A five-year partnership between Titleist and wedge maker JP Harrington — the man some believed would succeed Bob Vokey — has come to an end.

Patrick, for his part, posted the following on Instagram.

Last May, Titleist launched the JP Wedge Experience — a high-end wedge fitting and custom building conducted by Harrington himself. You can see many of the fruits of that labor on the James Patrick Golf Instagram.

Little beyond the “Experience,” however, emerged publicly from the five-year partnership. Whether Harrington will join forces with another OEM or return to solo work — likely no longer in his mother’s garage in Minnesota — remains to be seen.

What do you think, GolfWRX members? What makes the most sense for JP?

    Wedges have the least amount of technology in the bag….just buy to replace worn out grooves, don’t be fooled.

    When you have ideas and are driven the last thing needed is someone trying to control you. Not saying that’s what happened here but this wedge build was seriously expensive. Something I would never pay for but doubt he saw all the rewards from it. Now he can build custom wedges on his own like Tyson Lamb and be backed up for months but enjoying his work.

    What is with the Mother’s garage comment? Any truth to that?

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter

Published

on

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.

This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.

Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.

Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.
