Taylormade TP Red Collection Ardmore 2

www.taylormadegolf.com Weight: 355g Grip: Superstroke Pistol GTR 1.0 X Toe hang: Face-balanced

TECH:

Red heightens contrast against a green, which Taylormade says helps you align the putter squarely. A skim-milled 304 stainless steel head gives a sharp-edged premium look, a Pure Roll aluminium face insert optimises forward roll and a fanged back increases MOI stability.

WE SAY:

Love them or hate them, fang-shaped putters split weight, raise stability and improve off-centre hit forgiveness. They also give an excellent focal point with long sight lines to help you align correctly and keep track of your stroke. If you’re the type of golfer who finds the wings on Taylormade’s Spider Tour distracting, the Ardmore looks very clean and easy on the eye. A full shaft width of offset means your hands are naturally positioned ahead of the ball, which is perfect for stroking putts from distance or short range. The Ardmore also costs less than the Spider, the Spider’s made in two parts (plus an insert), where the Ardmore 2 is just one.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

Perfect for golfers who mark a line on their ball and aim putts meticulously. The white sight line on the top rail is right where you should be impacting putts. One of the very best putters for picking your ball up, too! GOLF ASIA
