Adam Scott using Directed Force 2.1 putter at Honda Classic
When it comes to putters, Adam Scott has been an interesting man to follow during his career.
Using almost every style imaginable from the classic (and standard-length) Newport 2 and a mid-slant Newport 2, to the more modern Kombi, and his famous Masters winning Big Sur Center Shafted long putter, it has been a wild ride. Scott has even gone as far as using two putters in tournament rounds including the PGA Championship where he finished solo third.

Scott’s most recent putter, a Scotty Cameron Select Tour Fastback (TFB)

The putter Scott used for most of 2017-2018: A Scotty Cameron Xperimental Rev X10
Adam is not a player afraid of experimentation, and this week at the Honda Classic is no different. The Australian has put into play the Directed Force 2.1. from Lab Golf, as many on Twitter (like Golf Channel’s Ryan Lavner, below) noticed during his opening round. And he still has the flatstick in play for his second round at PGA National, so the switch appears to be something more than a whimsical exercise.

Lab Golf have been around for some time now, and they employ a unique philosophy when it comes to fitting and designing putters by aligning the lie angle and the mass of the putter to the plane at which the putter will travel on “lie angle balancing.” This it to help keep the putter face square to the target during a straight back straight through stroke. Match this with a grip built to encourage a strong forward press and you have a putter designed to promote the same position at address time after time.
The video below feating the inventor Bill Presse explains the company’s philosophy.
Scott is often known as having one of the best swings in golf but has been a very streaky player especially with the putter. Trying something as different as the Directed Force putter when having Titleist’s Scotty Cameron as a resource (although he was also seen testing a Cameron, too) is a surprising move. Scott’s choice of putter is something that will be interesting to watch as we approach both The Players and the Masters, two tournaments played at courses he has played well and won.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
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
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.”
