Never been a fan of the TM inserts. The finish and designs look good, I wonder if they'll ever come up with some nice milled faced putters? If Odyssey can do it why can't TM? I'm sure alot of their pros feel the same.

[hoganboy]

Is it just me or are the new Tourismo and Inza putters just plain horrible. I know i use a 2ball but next to these it looks like a work of art.

[Shaitan]

They're about as appealing as the new square drivers. The blades on the other hand don't look half bad - if they had a platinum or stainless finish I'd have one

[Caligula]

I liked the Imola but the big fat putters just look bizarre and clumsy.

[mcbush25]

At first sight I liked the Turismo and Inza putters, but now I am not too fond of them. They just look to big and bulky.

 

The Corzina putter is interesting. I am interested in trying one of these new AGSI + putters and see what the difference is.

[animalistic]

mmmmm the monte carlo 7 centre shafetd mallet looks nice..but those 2 big mallets look horrible!

[mcbush25]

I like the Monte Carlo as well. I liked the Suzuka, but would have prefered a center shafted model and that is what you get with the Monte Carlo.

[tickyboy]

I like the black finish, and like the Imola.... the others are kinda....funky...

I prefer the black finish as well. I just wish they wouldn't have put yellow around the insert. It isn't the best looking thing I have ever seen.

The different evolutions in Japan (RSI insert - soft without groove) and USA (AGSI Plus -grooves) are difficult to understand

My thoughts exactly, but I'm still going to give one a whirl.

Currently in my bag is a Corza RSi which feels so much better than the original AGSI insert IMHO. Much softer and not "clicky".

[VegasGolfer]

I actually liked the feel of the putters today when i was at the show. The insert feels softer and the grooves seem like they get the ball rolling sooner.

[Warszawa]

Are these black putters part of the TP putter line? Or is black the new satin?

[JHR]

I like the Black finish on the TM putters so much better, i may have to give one a try.

 

I have never thought that highly of TM putters before, but seem to be getting more kudos than before.

[dac]

definitely digging the new black finishes on the putters. don't care for the new colors on the faces though, although, if they feel better than i'd be open to trying them out.

I'll probably give the Modena 8 a chance--it's got the profile I like, but it had better increase my topspin by like 80rpm's on a 10 foot putt or there's no way. :rolleyes: It'll all come down to feel for me though, and I'm not holding my breath as it'll have to outperform some pretty good flatsticks.

 

I am curious though, is there any information on this putter? Looks like a Corza Mini (ala the BG GT-mini). Pic was on day 2 at equip2golf.com's website. Or is it just an angle thing?

That is the Corzina. It isn't the picture playing tricks on your eyes. It is a smaller version of the Corza. The back was reduced. I am not sure on specs, but it looks very nice.

Nice, good to know McB. Thanks for the response. I wasn't a fan of the Corza at all, but the Corzina is looking really good to me. But if the new insert is anything like the first AGSI, it'll probably be a deal breaker though. Same thing with the Bobby Grace putters though (looks, not feel). Wasn't so much until the GT-mini. Now that's a honey of a putter. :cheesy:

Why do all TaylorMade putter names sound like Starbucks drinks? Are they Fratalian? :rolleyes:

Here you go George :)

How did I miss that pic? :cheesy: Thanks Michael...do you have any other pictures...of a more personal nature? :rolleyes:

[kovacs1]

anyone know when all of these launch??

[joesgonegolfing]

I am playing a Corza RSI from Japan and feel its a better insert than the AGSI. The black finish is very deep on the putters. looks like it will hold up well.

does that have MWT in the back like the corza's?

[MFMILLER]

Shame on TM/Rossa for not bringing the Maranello back. The TP 08-01 was/is such a good putter. Dig the new look, but not many of the new models. Agreed that some of the blades look ok, but all in all kind of disappointing, but admittedly I only had my eye out for one!

[localfitch]

I like the new ones... some have a little "retro" styling. Daytona stays classic, and with the black finish I think it looks great.

[Warszawa]

They're all famous race courses.

I will clarify this.... The majority of the putters with the exception of the corza and the two new models are named after places synonymous with motor racing, either for a famous circuit or race.

 

The corzina reminds me of the futura phantom....

 

And as for the Fratalian advert, its horrific and i wish it would be canned.
