Tour Edge has introduced its new Wingman Putters featuring extreme-MOI, mini-mallet designs, lock-on alignment, and interchangeable weights.

The three new additions in the Wingman family contain weighted wings designed to promote the face square to the swing path for a true roll, while the Lock-On alignment technology aims to allow the lie angle to be set perfectly square at address, further aiding overall alignment.

The interchangeable weights on the Wingman putters come in 3, 8 and 15 grams, with the 3-gram weight being the standard option. The putters come with a separate interchangeable weight kit including two 8-gram weights and two 15-gram weights giving golfers the option of adding or subtracting more overall weight to the heel and toe of the clubhead to obtain their preferred feel.

The standard head weight of the Wingman putters is 355 grams, while nine different possible weight combinations and six different head weights can be achieved through the brand’s weighting system. A maximum head weight of 379 grams is possible on the new Tour Edge putters, with more weight on the heel aimed to aid players who often leave the toe open on their stroke, and more weight on the toe aimed at those with a tendency to pull their putts.

According to the company, the putters feature one of the highest Moment of Inertia (MOI) ratings of any putter available on the market, which helps to protect against twisting.

Speaking on the new Wingman putter series, Tour Edge President and Master Club Designer David Glod stated

“This is our first ultra-premium Exotics putter in some time and it features some really cool tech. We took two years in R&D with extensive testing to come up with the perfect design that will allow Tour Edge to offer extreme tour-quality performance on the green, while offering more features and benefits than that of extreme MOI putters that cost twice as much.”

The putters contain a face insert made from a Surlyn that has been fine-tuned in order to find the optimal durometer hardness rating that determines the sound and feel of the face, while the face features MicroGroove technology.

Microgroove technology is designed to promote a soft and pure feel upon contact, with the horizontal grooves engineered to improve forward roll earlier in the putt while reducing skid off the face to create a better roll.

A Carbon Fiber sole plate on the bottom of the Wingman putters allows weight to be redistributed to the sides and back of the clubhead in a bid to help increase the MOI and it also acts as an internal structure designed to further improve sound and feel.

Wingman-01

The Wingman-01 features a Mid-Toe-Hang (30°) that is aimed at those with a putting stroke with a slight arc.

Per Tour Edge, the Wingman-01 provides the ability to use the same stroke as a blade, and it also offers the off-center-hit forgiveness of an oversized mallet due to its extreme MOI properties.

Wingman-02

The Face-Balanced Wingman-02 model is designed for a pendulum straight back, straight through putting stroke with the face of the putter rotating less during the putting stroke.

Per Tour Edge, the true square back to square through stroke creates a consistent blocking motion in the stroke, making it harder to putt off-line, even on mishits away from the center of the face.

Wingman-03

The Wingman-03 Center-Shafted putter comes with a single white alignment line and aims to provide an alignment oriented Face-Balanced putter that promotes a more stable stroke that is easier to keep from drifting right or left when hitting straight through the ball.

Per Tour Edge, due to equal amounts of weight in the heel and toe, this type of club suits a player who keeps his eyes directly above the ball and takes the club straight back and swings straight through the ball.

The stock shaft of the Wingman series is the KBS CT Tour putter shaft, the first shaft KBS has manufactured for a putter and features a black PVD paint job. The stepless steel-putter contains a stiffer structure throughout the shaft and specifically in the tip – designed to provide added stability. The firmer profile aims to allow the putter to feel easier to control and deliver better head awareness.

The putters come equipped with a jumbo Wingman branded Sink Fit Straight grip, and the flat-sticks arrive with three hosel options – the Wingman-01/Toe-Hang hosel, Wingman-02/ Face-Balanced and Wingman-03/Center-Shafted model. All models are available in 33”, 34” and 35” in RH only.

The Exotics Wingman putters are available to purchase from April 1, 2020, and cost $199.99 each.
