Appleby's Zen - When

[newportbeach]

Ok I've seen Appleby's Zen putter for a while now. On the Zen site it always says coming soon. Has this putter ever been released and did I just miss it? I think it was also called a Daito if I remember right. I remember seeing pictures of it at the PGA last year as a soon to be released putter.

It's right here. Just says Daito in the cavity rather than ZEN

It's called the short neck virtuso. I'll see if I can find a dealer

Have to admit, I like the looks of that putter. Shocked how rounded the sole is though. I wouldn't think that'd help with the proper stance.

Thanks for the replies. Anyone tried one? I'd love to hear some feedback.

They have a complete new range coming out - to be launched at the Orlando show

A range of conventional styles together with a range of other products

The standard Daito is different from the Zen model that Stuart uses

The Zen has the new RDE face technology

We work together with Zen and Christian of SAM system on the European tour and the feedback from the players was extra special - the main problem with actual usage is contracts with other companies.

I will try to get more info if possible

Here is one of the shortneck Daito Virtuoso that I had. It had a great feel, but the short neck was a bit disconcerting at address to me. It actually stuck out past the face of the putter. It was milled so that it would JUST clear the ball if you hit one toward the heel, but it didn't exactly inspire confidence. As good as any scotty as far as the materials and workmanship, but lightish head weight (I think mine was 330 grams at 34") was not to my liking personally. A heavier head with their longer anser-style neck would be a winner.

The "solid copper" is actually steel though, at least that's how it is described on their site. Must be a copper plating
