TaylorMade releases new Daddy Long Legs+ putter

Published

Jun 29, 2015

TaylorMade’s Daddy Long Legs putters have been one of the best-selling models for the company in recent years, boasting big forgiveness with a counter-balanced design and a high-MOI head shape that can help golfers smooth out their strokes.

With the new Daddy Long Legs+, TaylorMade added even more overall MOI to the putter (the MOI is 8856, if you’re into the numbers). The company used a lightweight True Temper steel shaft and a SuperStroke XL 2.0 grip that has a 125-gram weight in its butt end to move the balance point of the putter 2 inches higher and put 200 percent more weight above a golfer’s hands at address.

Other changes for the Daddy Long Legs+ include TaylorMade’s new deep-milled 6061 aluminum insert, which feels softer at impact than the PureRoll Surlyn insert used in the Daddy Long Legs 2.0 putter.

Daddy Long Legs+ putters are face-balanced, and will be available on July 15 for $249. They will be offered with a single bend at 34.5-, 36- and 38-inch lengths.

I own the original DLL. I like the putter. 95% depends on the golfer and his/her confidence of sinking a putt. That being said the original white DLL I have has suffered many paint chips and looks like crap. I may or may not get this. Im sure there will be a better model out (DDL 3.0) in 2-4 months anyways. Play what you want guys and dont worry too much about other people! SEE IT ROLL IT HOLE IT

I have a DLL and it is a great putter. Will have to try the new one to see if it feels different than mine.

The rules of golf state: “The club must not be substantially different from the traditional and
customary form and make.”

The USGA really slipped up on enforcing their own club rules.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
