The
latest in new drivers have been advanced to make your drive go farther, new
irons have been developed for better accuracy, re-engineered golf balls have
been designed for every type of player, but what about your short game?
The new putters in the Taylormade
Ghost Tour Series will help improve your alignment and give you crisper,
smoother, and more accurate putts. The
six putter designs introduced for 2012 in the Talormade Ghost Tour Series are
the: DA-12, DA-62, SE-62, MA-81, FO-72, Corza Ghost.
The DA-12 specifications exhibit a
blade style putter with a 40 degree toe hang, 4 degree loft, and an L-Neck
shaft. This putter is made for right and
left handed players.
The DA-62 specifications also
exhibit a blade style with a 60 degree toe hang. The putter is equipped with a short curve
shaft with a 4 degree loft, but is only made for right handed players.
The SE-62 has other modifications
but is still in the blade style putter category. This stainless steel putter displays a 65
degree toe hang with a flow neck shaft and a 4 degree loft. These three putters are the newest in the
blade style for the Ghost Tour series.
The MA-81 is a small mallet style
putter which exhibits stainless steel shaft with a 80 degree toe hang. It also displays a flow neck designed shaft
and comes in sizes 33”, 34”, and 35” for right handed players.
The two final putters for the Ghost
Tour series are for both right and left handed players. The FO-72 and the CORZA are mallet style
putters. Designed with a single-bend
shaft and 4 degree loft, these new putters are the only ones in the series that
are face-balanced. Each comes in sizes
33”, 34”, and 35”.
“Really the whole Ghost Tour line is
focused around premium tour white putters……we went to a much more premium white
paint which is not only easier to see but is also more durable,” said Michael
Fox, a club designer for Taylormade Golf Company. A specific color of white paint was used to
reduce glare and improve contrast from the putter to the grass. Testing has proven that with the specific
white used helps improve a player’s alignment and therefore better putts.
That isn’t all that Taylormade is
coming out with in the world of putting, “There is one big story with Ghost
putters next year and for us it is the new Ghost Manta…….the idea around it was
that it needs to be the next generation of putters,” (1) said Mr. Fox. The Manta is something you haven’t seen
before and therefore needs its own category.
With its “simple performance and mass appeal shape” Talormade wanted to
make the all around putter with good looks and true performance and for more

Surely, with any of these new
putters, that come equipped with counter balance weight technology, you will
improve your short game for 2012.
