“Play any SCOR4161 scoring club for up to 30 days. Compare its performance head-to-head with what you’re playing now, any demo wedges you can find, even clubs from your buddies’ bags. If you don’t find that SCOR4161 is all we say it is, just return it and we’ll buy you another wedge on the market you think you’d like better.”*

“While most companies? wedge offerings haven?t changed much in the past 10-20 years, SCOR Golf has challenged 50+ years of „conventional wisdom? about scoring clubs and started over with the goal of delivering better distance control, improved feel and forgiveness,” said Terry Koehler, President of SCOR™ Golf. “The result is the most comprehensive package of technology ever developed for short game performance. It?s so advanced we decided to offer the boldest, most innovative Satisfaction Guarantee in golf.”

“SCOR4161 is the most revolutionary development in golf equipment since the introduction of hybrids 10 years ago,” stated Koehler. “No one?s ever put this much technology into scoring clubs before and we are willing to let our wedges prove that to anyone. SCOR?s vertically enhanced sweet spot delivers better trajectories and distance control and our patented V-SOLE never met a lie it didn?t like. Available in 21 lofts, from 41 to 61 degrees, SCOR?s scoring clubs allow any golfer to get exactly the right wedges for optimum gap management. Finally, our full custom-fit, custom-build process beats „off the rack? wedges hands down.”

To complement the SCOR Challenge, SCOR Golf is also offering the SCOR Golf Limited Lifetime Warranty- SCOR products and components purchased from SCOR Golf, or any authorized SCOR Golf retailer, to be fee from defects in material and workmanship for a lifetime of use. “Simply put, SCOR Golf offers the most advanced short game solution in golf,” added Koehler. “These clubs will help you improve your scoring from the very first round. We guarantee it.”

The SCOR4161 line of scoring clubs is available at www.scorgolf.com and at a growing number of selected golf pro shops. The suggested retail price for a set of three wedges is $399.

*The Performance Guarantee applies to SCOR4161 clubs sold directly by SCOR Golf via the company?s website or inside sales department. It does not apply to clubs built with non-standard shafts or grips. Replacement wedge must have a Suggested Retail Price equal to or less than the amount paid for the SCOR4161 club.

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.”
