Bettinardi introduces heel shafted Hexperimental #7 and #9 zero torque putters, expanding its SimplyBalanced technology into more traditional head shapes with refined stability and feel.
Odyssey’s zero-torque evolution has been gradual: improved shapes, the original Tri-Hot shifting CG forward to remove shaft lean, and now the S2S Tri-Hot SB (single-bend), a heel-shafted model with traditional alignment and a more familiar setup.
Ping’s Scottsdale TEC mallet putters offer high-resolution white-black contrast, distinct alignment features and onset and face-balanced models that fit the shift to straighter putting strokes.
As more manufacturers lean into face technology, Odyssey set out to create something distinct to complement its new Ai-Dual and Ai-Dual Square 2 Square families.
The Cobra 3DP Tour putters, a range that includes a blade and five mallets, evolves the company’s additive manufacturing process for putter construction to incorporate multiple materials surrounding a weight-saving 3D-printed nylon crown structure with stainless steel and tungsten for increased stability for better strokes, better impacts and more consistent roll.
Scotty Cameron’s latest Phantom mallets are built to blend softer feel with tighter speed control, thanks to a full-face carbon-steel insert and a new chain-link milling pattern that fine-tunes sound without dulling feedback.
Mizuno’s M.Craft City Series putters comprise four traditional blade and mallet looks with each head forged from the same mild carbon steel (1025E Select) as the company’s famous irons, including the feel-enhancing copper underlay.
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, a majority stake in L.A.B. Golf has been acquired by L Catterton, the private-equity firm backed by LVMH.
Odyssey’s new line of Ai-ONE Square 2 Square putters feature a modern centre-shafted design that makes them Stroke Balanced so they want to stay square throughout a golfer’s stroke.
