Most weeks out on tour there are always plenty of new and cool putters floating around in players bags or on the putting green. We caught quite a few this week at the Procore Championship so lets take a look at some of the top flatsticks.

Nick Hardy: Swag Handsome Prototype

A mix between the Handsome One and Handsome Two, Nick has been playing versions of the head shape for a little while now. The bumpers are a combination of small and flat with the overall shape from address that is more squared off than the Handsome One, yet much softer edges than the Handsome Two. Swag’s Drip Face milling has been around since 2019 and was created to reduce side-spin on off-center strikes.

OdysseyAi-One Square 2 Square Jailbird

It looks like Odyssey is the latest to jump into the “toe-up” style putter movement. My guess is that the center location of the shaft will allow the face of the putter to point toward the target throughout the stroke. The Jailbird Square 2 Sqaure features Odyssey’s Versa alignment stripes on the top, and, of course, the famous Ai-One face for consistent ball speed on mishits. It is hard to tell from the photos but to my eye, it looks like the body of the putter might be slightly stretched from face to back in order for the balance to be correct and maybe add stability.

Mac Meissner: Scotty Cameron T-9.5 Prototype

We have seen a lot of golfers on the professional tour testing out Scotty’s Phantom 9-style putter. Mac was testing out this T-9.5 that features a mid-length welded L-neck and twin full-length sightlines on the top. The face has a deeper milling pattern on it for a softer feel and the iconic Circle T logo is etched into the heel. Mac’s T-9.5 has two 10-gram weights installed on the sole and is finished in a matte silver to reduce glare.

Charley Hoffman: Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype

Fan favorite Hoffman has a very unique T-11 putter with all the different alignment lines on it. From the top, you can see a short sightline that starts at the face, a half-circle that encapsulates the site line, and then twin lines out on the flanges that are all filled in red paint. The semi-circle comes to a taper at each end of it for a very different look at address. Hoffman went with the single bend shaft for a more face-balanced feel and a deeper milled face to make it softer and more muted. He has two heavy 35-gram weights on the sole that might work with some counterbalance weight under the SuperStroke Traxion Flatso XL grip.

Evnroll Z1 Zero

A very interesting hosel placement is used to create a face-forward, or toe up, weighting. The neck looks to be a traditional L neck that is installed backwards so the shaft enters the putter head more near the center. Twin site lines are etched into the bright blue finish and there is a hole in the middle that of course picks up your golf ball. The Z1 Zero features Evnroll’s now famous Sweet Face milling where the horizontal grooves control ball speed on center and mishits so you have great distance control. There are twin movable weights up near the face and the rear of the head has been milled out to get the weighting to allow the face to always point towards the target.

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.”
