TaylorMade OS and OS CB putters

Published

The OS in TaylorMade’s new OS and OS CB putters stands for “oversize.” With its new putter line, the company took two of its most popular blade and mallet putters — the Daytona and Monte Carlo — and increased their size, which increased their forgiveness as well as the size of their alignment aids.

Clay Long, TaylorMade’s Director of Product Creation for Irons and Wedges, has been designing putters for a long time, most famously the MacGregor Response ZT 615 putter Jack Nicklaus used to win the 1986 Masters. That putter had an extremely high moment of inertia (MOI), a measure of forgiveness, thanks to its all-aluminum construction, which allowed the putter to be made bigger but gave it a non-traditional sound.

The OS and OS CB putters have a high MOI, but don’t skimp on feel thanks to their thin-wall, polymer-filled construction. The putters are cast from steel and then “skim milled,” which gives them a premium look and consistent shaping. After the milling process, polymer is injected into the putter bodies to dampen their sound, and the backs of the putters are then sealed with a red aluminum insert. The OS and OS CB putters also use a new TaylorMade 6061 aluminum face insert, which is vertically milled to create more friction at impact for a better ball roll.

According to Long, the OS Daytona putter is 7 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour Daytona. The OS Daytona CB, which stands for “counter balanced,” has a heavier head and heavier grip to help golfers make a smoother stroke. Its putter head measures 13 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour Daytona. The OS Monte Carlo is 5 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour model and 12 percent larger in the CB version.

The new line also includes a Spider OS putter, which is available in a standard and CB version that has a more square look than past Spider models from TaylorMade.

All six putters will be in stores March 18, and come stock with SuperStroke’s Mid Slim 2.0 grip (the CB versions use a 13.75-inch SuperStroke 2.0 XL grip). Learn more about each model below.

Imaginative responses. I’ve played a Newport 2 for 11 years – my first and only putter. Just bought this TM because the ball continued dropping center cut after three demo days. But you chumps know everything, right?

Look interesting, maybe a few too many bells and whistles, but overall ok (I use an original Spider putter). Not a fan of the aluminum insert though as I prefer the softer insert used in the original ghost putters. Will have to try in person I guess.

Sergio Garcia is no longer a teenager. Even he doesn’t want to dress it up like a clown any more. Get with it, TM

Cool Ideas – Polymer fill, higher MOI

Bad – Red sight line, tacky looking, cheap looking insert, >$200.

Overall – Shank.

And TM wonders why they’re in trouble… If you make stuff like this and then attempt to peddle it to the discerning golfers at over $200 you deserve the lack of sales you’re about to see. They went from innovative and high performing/quality to a “churn it out” and we’ll market the hell out of it type of business model and this is just bad… They haven’t made a clean milled putter since the Kia Ma days and the comments on here should be read in their next board meeting.

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
