New 2019 TaylorMade TP Patina Putter Collection features an updated Pure Roll insert
TaylorMade has announced the upcoming release of their TP Patina Putter Collection—a collection of seven new putters featuring a New Pure Roll insert.
All seven putters in the brand’s collection feature a new and thicker 5mm aluminum Pure Roll insert which is designed to bring the grooves into direct contact with the ball. According to the company, the Pure Roll insert’s 45-degree grooves improve forward roll, helping the ball start and stay on its intended line, compared to a solid face.
The collection also contains new signature TP screws that securely fasten the Pure Roll insert to the putter face – in a bid to minimize voids and air pockets below the insert and to create an improved and solid feel at impact.
Blade Options
Each blade putter in the series features a single sightline on the back cavity, while as with each putter in the new collection the naming convention for the putters draw on inspiration from areas, regions and landmarks of some of the world’s greatest golf destinations and historic courses.
Soto
Features 47 degrees of toe hang and a full-shaft offset.
Juno
Shaped with squared contours, Juno contains 36 degrees of toe hang and a full-shaft offset.
Del Monte
The Del Monte features a slight toe hang of 8 degrees.
Mallet Options
Ardmore 1
A face-balanced mallet designed with dual cavity sightlines and on top sightline. The Ardmore 1 features a full-shaft offset intended to promote a linear stroke.
Ardmore 2
With double cavity sightlines designed for a straight back, straight through stroke, the Ardmore 2 features a face-balanced toe hang and single bend TM hosel.
Ardmore 3
Featuring a 42 degree toe hang on a short slant hosel with a single cavity sightline.
DuPage
The DuPage mallet putter contains a single bend, face-balanced design.
The TP adjustable weight system enables the TP soleweights to be unique to each stock length to hit a specific swing weight. Weights ranging from 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, and 20 grams are available for sale separately.
Each model in the TP Patina Putter Collection comes equipped with a KBS CT Taper Stepless Chrome Putter shaft and a Super Stroke Pistol GT 1.0 grip, and the entire collection is available in 34” and 35” lengths in both RH & LH models.
The new collection from TaylorMade is available at retail from September 6 with an MSRP of $249.99 per putter.

Welcome to the family: TaylorMade launches PUDI and PDHY utility irons
TaylorMade is continuing its UDI/DHY series with the successor to the Stealth UDI and DHY utility irons: PUDI and PDHY (which the company styles as P·UDI and P·DHY). TaylorMade is folding the designs in with its P Series of irons.
TaylorMade outlined the process of developing its new utilities this way. The company started with the data on utility iron usage. Not surprisingly, better players — i.e. those who generate more clubhead speed and strike the ball more precisely — were found to gravitate toward the UDI model. DHY usage, however, covered a wider swath than the company might have expected with six-to-18 handicappers found to be bagging the club.
TaylorMade also found that the majority of golfers playing UDI or DHY utilities were playing P Series irons at the top of their iron configurations.
Can you see where this is going?
Matt Bovee, Director of Product Creation, Iron and Wedge at TaylorMade: “As we look to the future, beyond the tech and the design language, we are excited about repositioning our utility irons into the P·Series family. P·UDI is an easy pair for players that currently play P·Series product and P·DHY is an extremely forgiving option for players of all skill levels. It is a natural fit to give these players the performance in this category that they are looking for.”

TaylorMade PUDI
Crafted with tour player input, TaylorMade sought to develop a confidence-inspiring utility iron that blends with the rest of the P Series irons. Also of note: Interestingly, the PUDI has a more compact head than the P790.
In comparison to past UDI products, the PUDI has a more traditional iron shape, slimmer toplines, and less offset with a little of the backbar visible at address.
TaylorMade PDHY
Larger in profile than the PUDI, the PDHY seeks to position center of gravity (CG) lower in the club for ease of launch. The toe height is larger and the profile is larger at address — roughly five millimeters longer than PUDI — the sole of the club is wider for improved forgiveness.
Club Junkie’s take
Golfers who feel like they are missing something at the top of the bag could find the PUDI or PDHY a great option. The look of the PUDI should fit the most discerning eye with a more compact look, less offset, and a thinner topline. If you want a little more confidence looking down the P-DHY will be slightly larger while still being a good-looking utility iron.
For being small packages both models pack a pretty good punch with fast ball speeds, even off-center. The feel is soft and you get a solid feel of the ball compressing off the face when you strike it well. Your ears are greeted with a nice heavy thud as the ball and club come together. The PDHY will launch a little higher for players who need it while the PUDI offers a more penetrating ball flight. Both utility irons could be the cure for an open spot in the top end of the bag.
PUDI, PDHY, or Rescue?
TaylorMade offers the following notes to assist golfers in filling out their bags:
- PUDI has mid-CG right behind the center face to create a more penetrating mid-to-low ball flight
- PDHY has a lower center of gravity to produce an easier-to-launch mid-to-high ball flight.
- Both PUDI and PDHY are lower-flying than the company’s hybrid/Rescue clubs.
- PUDI is more forgiving than P790.
- PDHY is the most forgiving iron in the entire TaylorMade iron family
