Spotted: 2025 RBC Heritage putter roundup

Published

Like most weeks out on the PGA Tour, there were a lot of putters for players to test at the RBC Heritage. This week, there were a few interesting models GolfWRX got photos of for us gearheads. Check them out below.

L.A.B. OZ.1 Broomstick

Adam Scott has been using an L.A.B. Golf long, or broomstick, putter for quite some time now. This week, the Australian was testing a new version of the OZ.1. This head features the non-insert design with milled horizontal lines on the face, which provide a softer feel and a quieter sound at impact. On top are two thick sight lines that run the entire length of the head for alignment. Interestingly, this putter doesn’t have the high-end TPT graphite shaft found in Adam’s current L.A.B. putter. Instead, it’s equipped with an Accra graphite shaft, co-designed with L.A.B.

Scotty Cameron T-11.5 “Zero Torque” Prototype

This is the putter everyone’s waiting to see hit retail. We see tons of questions in our forum asking if Scotty will release a zero-torque putter — and if so, when. A few of these T-11.5 prototypes have been spotted on tour, and this one was built for lefty Garrick Higgo. The shaft is center-mounted, allowing the face to stay balanced and consistently pointed at the target. Higgo’s T-11.5 features a silver monotone finish, whereas the retail Phantom 11 opts for a black and silver color scheme. A “T” alignment mark is milled near the topline, and the face appears to have slightly deeper milling for enhanced feel.

Odyssey Ai-One Wing Back

Usually, Odyssey putters with a short slant neck are designated with an “S,” but we don’t see that etched into the sole of this Wing Back. The short neck gives the putter a bit of toe hang, in contrast to the face-balanced weighting of the retail double-bend model. Odyssey decided to release this Wing Back “naked,” with no alignment aid on the top of the putter. The traditional Ai-One face insert is included for a softer feel and improved distance control on mishits.

Scotty Cameron T-5 Prototype “Justin Rose”

It isn’t shocking that, after seeing Justin Rose play so well at the Masters last week, players would want to try the putter he was using. The big story with this T-5 is the alignment aid on the top of the putter, which consists of a half-circle, two short lines, and a red dot. A deep-milled face has been added to the single-bend putter, which is very close to face-balanced.

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.

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.”
