Tour Edge Golf is putting its own innovative spin (or roll) on its new Template Series Putter line featuring four new designs and three modified shapes from the original Template Series.
With a combination of blades, semi-mallets, and mallets, the company says each Template shape was designed with optimized Center of Gravity and Moment of Inertia properties, while suiting every player preference and need.
Seven total head shapes will be available in both Black PUD and Silver PUD finishes: Alps, Biarritz, Eden, Maiden, Narrows, Punchbowl and Valley.
The Template Series putters (129.99) will be available at retail starting Nov. 1.
The putter series’ name, according to Tour Edge, is derived from a Template golf hole in golf course architecture.
Template holes were first utilized by Chicago native C.B. Macdonald, who instituted around 20 different template holes from well-known courses like St. Andrews, Prestwick, and North Berwick. He designed Chicago Golf Club, the first 18-hole golf course in North America, located just a few miles up the road from the Tour Edge world headquarters.
Each Template putter in the series is individually CNC milled with Micro-Groove face technology. Micro-Groove leads to an extremely soft feel upon contact and reduces skidding off the face.
The Micro-Grooves in the new Template Series are 20 percent deeper and wider than the previous Template Series, lending to greater immediate topspin and a more accurate roll.
The putters are made from a 304 Stainless Steel, the softest stainless steel available in putter design, measuring half as soft as 17-4 Stainless Steel, while still providing exceptional feedback at impact.
The 304 SS on the Silver PVD finish is bead blasted to eliminate glare, while the new offerings of Black PVD to the Template Series offers a sleek matte look and feel.
“The new Template putter series has taken leaps and bounds in the look and feel department,” said Tour Edge President and Master Club Designer David Glod. “This putter line is bringing together today’s technology with classic putter designs and perfectly blending the two, just like what Template golf holes are designed to do in course architecture.”
A white on black Contrast Technology Alignment aid is featured on each putter design. Contrast optics, Glod said, increase the contrast between the putter and green, helping golfers focus on the leading edge for more accurate aiming.
All eight putter designs feature a 71-degree lie angle and a 3-degree loft and come standard with a Lamkin Deep Etched Pistol grip, a long time Tour favorite now featuring a softer-feeling Genesis Material.
The grips prominent horizontal etched pattern, traditional paddle, and smaller profile provide maximum responsiveness, while its Deep-Etch design is ideal for golfers with an arc, or arc-to-straight putting style when utilizing a traditional, reverse overlap, or cross-handed grip style.
The new models come in standard lengths of 34” and 35” inches. Two models are being made available in right- and left-handed models available in both the Silver PVD and Black PVD – the Eden and the Narrows models.
