While all the technological enhancements to mallet putters today have made the oversized putter more acceptable to a wider audience, TaylorMade is taking the next step towards merging the blade and mallet communities: A mallet that’s only skin deep.
There are not many companies, if any, that can introduce five sets of irons at one time – throw in a specialty set of long-iron replacement hybrids to boot – and still make you believe that each has its place.
