TaylorMade OS and OS CB putters

Published

on

The OS in TaylorMade’s new OS and OS CB putters stands for “oversize.” With its new putter line, the company took two of its most popular blade and mallet putters — the Daytona and Monte Carlo — and increased their size, which increased their forgiveness as well as the size of their alignment aids.

Clay Long, TaylorMade’s Director of Product Creation for Irons and Wedges, has been designing putters for a long time, most famously the MacGregor Response ZT 615 putter Jack Nicklaus used to win the 1986 Masters. That putter had an extremely high moment of inertia (MOI), a measure of forgiveness, thanks to its all-aluminum construction, which allowed the putter to be made bigger but gave it a non-traditional sound.

The OS and OS CB putters have a high MOI, but don’t skimp on feel thanks to their thin-wall, polymer-filled construction. The putters are cast from steel and then “skim milled,” which gives them a premium look and consistent shaping. After the milling process, polymer is injected into the putter bodies to dampen their sound, and the backs of the putters are then sealed with a red aluminum insert. The OS and OS CB putters also use a new TaylorMade 6061 aluminum face insert, which is vertically milled to create more friction at impact for a better ball roll.

According to Long, the OS Daytona putter is 7 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour Daytona. The OS Daytona CB, which stands for “counter balanced,” has a heavier head and heavier grip to help golfers make a smoother stroke. Its putter head measures 13 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour Daytona. The OS Monte Carlo is 5 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour model and 12 percent larger in the CB version.

The new line also includes a Spider OS putter, which is available in a standard and CB version that has a more square look than past Spider models from TaylorMade.

All six putters will be in stores March 18, and come stock with SuperStroke’s Mid Slim 2.0 grip (the CB versions use a 13.75-inch SuperStroke 2.0 XL grip). Learn more about each model below.

    Imaginative responses. I’ve played a Newport 2 for 11 years – my first and only putter. Just bought this TM because the ball continued dropping center cut after three demo days. But you chumps know everything, right?

    If it helps me make putts and is legal, i don’t care what it looks like.

    Look interesting, maybe a few too many bells and whistles, but overall ok (I use an original Spider putter). Not a fan of the aluminum insert though as I prefer the softer insert used in the original ghost putters. Will have to try in person I guess.

    Sergio Garcia is no longer a teenager. Even he doesn’t want to dress it up like a clown any more. Get with it, TM

    Cool Ideas – Polymer fill, higher MOI

    Bad – Red sight line, tacky looking, cheap looking insert, >$200.

    Overall – Shank.

    And TM wonders why they’re in trouble… If you make stuff like this and then attempt to peddle it to the discerning golfers at over $200 you deserve the lack of sales you’re about to see. They went from innovative and high performing/quality to a “churn it out” and we’ll market the hell out of it type of business model and this is just bad… They haven’t made a clean milled putter since the Kia Ma days and the comments on here should be read in their next board meeting.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
