Taylormade TP Red Collection Ardmore

www.taylormadegolf.com Weight: 355g Grip: Super Stroke Pistol GTR 1.0 Toe hang: Face balanced

TECH:

Red heightens contrast against grass, which Taylormade says helps align the putter squarely. A skim-milled 304 stainless steel head gives a sharp-edged premium look. The Pure Roll aluminium face insert optimises roll.

WE SAY:

The Ardmore’s a wide, stretched mallet, but minus the Moi-enhancing fangs on the Ardmore 2. Our test pro loved how naturally the Ardmore’s lie got him into a position (with high hands) where he could rock his shoulders and putt really consistently. Two long white sightlines make a “T” shape with the putter’s face, which keeps setting up really simple and straightforward. The Ardmore is big, bold, brash, and with an air of confidence behind the ball. Two testers holed some serious putts with it, which means both would be happy sliding an Ardmore in their bag for 2018, which is a solid recommendation. TOP GEAR VERDICT A really good choice if you’re in the market for a red putter, but don’t want a wacky-shaped MOI model. Two long sightlines really help with alignment. The aluminium insert gives decent feedback and roll, being just slightly firmer than some.
