TP Reserve: TaylorMade putters go premium

Published

on

The new TaylorMade TP Reserve line “plants a flag” in the premium putter space with three blade and three mallet shapes for 2023.

TaylorMade engineers focused on precision, classic styling, and appealing aesthetics in crafting the line of 303 stainless steel putters, all of which feature machined-in grooves for crisp sound, feedback, and soft feel.

“There is a large bucket of golfers that love the look of a classic putter shape, and we took the time to carefully craft performance in a way that is a brand-new opportunity for us, said Bill Price,” TaylorMade’s Senior Director Product Creation, Putter & Wedge. “The story of TP Reserve is about style, craftsmanship and character which can be seen in every aspect of the putter. We sweated the details, received tour feedback and went with refined edges, thinner toplines, new flange thickness and blade length to create putters built off exactness instead of sameness.” 

TP Reserve putters feature fine linear mill marks across the face and grooves machined to a specific depth for a finely tuned sound. According to the company, “grooves are machined in the same linear fashion with strike location from top-to-bottom and heel-to-toe, maintaining the same sound regardless of impact location.”

Each putter head presents four different fitting options via hosel designs. Hosel specifics and numerical designation, below.

  • L-Neck: No. 1
  • Small slant: No. 3
  • Single bend: No. 7
  • Flow neck: No. 9.

TaylorMade TP Reserve: The putters

B11, B13

TP Juno inspired with a thinner topline and longer blade length. B11 features an L-neck hosel, B13 a slant neck (and the most toe hang in the lineup).

B29

TP Soto inspired with a flow neck and machined bumpers for softer edges.

B31

Inspired by the TP Del Monte, the B31 features more weight on the heel and toe for higher MOI. Only blade with a soleplate in the lineup.

M21, M27

TP Bandon-inspired, high MOI design. M27 has a new mid-length single bend neck that is shorter, which puts the point where the shaft bends closer to the putter head.

M33, M37

A new shape in the TM line with thicker toplines than the M21 and M27 models. M33, which features a small slant hosel, has the most toe hang of any mallet in the lineup.

M47

Blade-mallet blend with the widest topline among the mallets.

    The mallet looks like the Ping mallet a lot of guys like. IMO they are all pretty unremarkable.

      This is probably more aimed at Bettinardi and their Hive releases.

    How do you drop such an ugly line of putters as your first foray into premium putters? ?

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.
