ORLANDO — A category that didn’t attract great attention, but had its share of new introductions is putters.
Most players will changes putters more often than any club in their bag and it’s critical to find one that works. It really doesn’t matter if it’s the goofiest looking stick on the planet. If you confidently roll in your share of putts with it, then it really doesn’t matter how much your playing partners laugh at you.
At the PGA Merchandise Show here, the classic look seems to be returning in putters as fewer, larger non-traditional shapes were on the floor.
Titleist rolled out four new models of its Scotty Cameron California line. Cameron putters, like the Titleist Vokey wedge, is popular with touring pros and all four Cameron California putters are heel-shafted and precision milled stainless steel heads. The Monterey and Coronado are both blade style putters, while the Sonoma and Del Mar have mallet-style heads.
The Monterey, Coronado and Sonoma putters are all right-hand only with Del Mar available in both right- and left-hand models.
Folding into its a7 line, Adams Golf has included a line of new putters. The a7 Select line includes four classically design putter heads, but with updated technology — three blades (60, 61 and 64 Series) and a mallet head (62 Series).
The putter faces are precision milled stainless steel, but also include composite inserts for better weight distribution.
