Putters that never made it: Check out some of the best tour builds that didn’t make the cut
Arguably, the best perk of being a professional golfer on the PGA Tour is the ability to request or even just be handed pretty much any club you could think of. It happens more often than you think, usually with putters around the practice green from one event to the next. Come Wednesday, the Tour bags lining the edge of the putting surface become resting places for fallen flatsticks that never made the cut.
So let’s take a look at some of the best we’ve seen out on Tour this year that never made it to the competition. (You may notice none of Hideki Matsuyama’s custom Scotty Cameron putters made this list. There are too many.)
Let’s start with this custom Damascus Milled Odyssey Rossie made for Ryo Hisatsune. Featuring a single line and the short-slant hossel, we’ve seen plenty of Number 7 and jailbird heads featuring the Damascus Milled insert, but this is the first and only one we’ve spotted in a Rossie. Hisatsune primarily putts with an Odyssey Black Series iX #9, but we have seen him recently with a TaylorMade TP Collection SOTO, so there could be potential that the Damascus Milled Rossie could end up in the bag.
Everyone wants to be Cameron Young right now. We’ve had Justin Thomas and Tom Hoge both game the Scotty Cameron 9.5R prototype. Well, for the PGA Championship, Brooks Koepka nearly joined that list after requesting the same style of putter, with the full-length alignment line. But the Scotty Cameron reps took the request a step further and made one specially for Koepka with a Teryllium insert, similar to one in his previous Newport 2 gamers. The reason why this one didn’t go into play, though? Because it was too heavy.
Harry Hall was the third-best putter on Tour last year, so when Bettinardi made him a custom proto, you know it was going to be good. The custom BB28 blade features VDF face milling, a custom-welded single-bend shaft, and the owner’s initials – HH – on the sole of the putter. Hall, who usually games an Odyssey O-Works #7 W, has dabbled with a TaylorMade Spider Tour X already this year. Maybe there’s a chance this Bettinardi might make his bag.
Honestly, this one doesn’t need a description. It’s Kieth Mitchell’s custom Scotty Cameron Napa. One Scotty Cameron face stamp, two Scotty Dogs, two Scotty Cameron 7-Point Crowns and one Circle T. That is all. Oh, except for the Cashmere Cameron headcover.
Finally, and just for fun, how about we pour one out for this TaylorMade Spider Tour X made for Scottie Scheffler in its new torched finish. It’s unlikely we’ll see a putter change anytime soon from the best golfer in the world. In fact, he hit just two putts with it on the Harbour Town practice before going back to his trusty gamer.

In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite major winning irons used by Tiger Woods. WRXer ‘golferdude54’ kicks off the thread saying:
“Mizuno MP 14/29. Titleist 681T. Nike Forged Blades. TaylorMade P7TW.
Among these irons that helped Tiger win 15 majors, which is your favorite in terms of looks?”
And our members have been naming their favorites and why in response.
Here are a couple of posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- SwingBlade: “I prefer the early blades he played and the more recent TM TW’s especially because after Tiger had his major behavioral setbacks, part of Nikes support payback was making Tiger play a Nike putter and cease using his beloved uniquely customized Scotty putter.”
- ProjectX: “This (Nike Forged Blades) and there’s not even a close second.”

I had the chance to hit these and the 716s yesterday. I did not like the look, at all. And I am one that if I am not fully comfortable with the way the club looks it unreasonably effects the way I hit it. However this club performed extremely well. Ill be honest I think the pictures make it look better than it does in person, but it out performed the 915f for me, it out performed my current club and it out performed everything else overall, the callaways and taylormades were a bit longer, but these were for more accurate for me and Ill take that any day. Ill get over the look, Im putting my order in for these.

I just had an opportunity to hit the new 716 ap2 and the 816 hybrid this past week. Pics don’t do the new clubs justice. Ap2 had the new amt shaft and was a great performer. Likewise, the hybrid was better than my 915 and the color and finish looked really good.

Proof’s in the hitting but this looks like a step backwards.

This looks like RBZ stage 2 tour hybrid with a 910h face.

What in the world has happened to Titleist.
Everything coming out of the new line is cheap looking and half attempts at copying other companies. Even the same 816 name as Callaway. Wow. I did not expect this. They’ve gone away from their core business values and strategy. Disappointing.
Ugly is a compliment new line up is so bad
Jul 28, 2015 at 11:08 am
I agree, looks super cheap in all aspects. What an ugly club and new line.

Their main business strategy has always been focusing on the sales of Pro V1s (and maybe FJ shoes and gloves); clubs are their secondary concern.

lol. I commented about how great the old gray metalflake paint looked in a thread on the Forum page (think 975 era), and got lots of upvotes and nice pm’s.
To each his own, I guess. Give me classic gray metalflake and a plain stainless face, thank you very much.

Wow, glad I decided to pull the trigger on the 915 woods and hybrid. These are the ugliest hybrids I have seen. Good luck with selling them.

Looks like something designed to fit into a super GI set of irons. Very un-titleist and, honestly, just not very pretty. Metallic grey crown is about 3 years out of date too.
Nooooo!
Jul 27, 2015 at 2:43 pm
Titleist! What are you doing? The new irons are not clean and the grey doesn’t look good.

Not the biggest fan of the polished grey finish! Still very happy with my 915 equipment.

I fall into the camp of liking the flat grey, it is similar in color to the Callaway Xhot2 driver and fairway wood, and the Adams pro hybrids. I personally find high gloss clubs to be problematic in that they are gauranteed to reflect sunlight, creating a bright glare spot and distraction on the club at address. Flat finishs mute that. As for the 716 AP2’s… I’ll stick wiht my 714’s… the new ones are unnecessarily busy, and I doubt they perform in a noticably different way.
