Logan Olson releases limited-edition Craft Batch No. 3 putter

In a press release earlier this week announcing TaylorMade’s acquisition of boutique putter maker Logan Olson, the company stated, “In working with TaylorMade’s team of innovative putter minds, Olson will continue developing his acclaimed Craft Batch putters.”

Well, TaylorMade and Logan Olson have gotten right to work on that project announcing today the launch of Olson’s limited-edition Craft Batch No. 3 putter. According to a release, the No. 3 is “built from extensive modal analysis combined with Olson’s native machining and creative abilities.” We can add to this feedback from some of the best golfers in the world.

To learn what all this means, let’s dig into the putter’s key design features.

Logan Olson Craft Batch No. 3 putter: Design, technology

Flumber’s neck

Did we just misspell “plumber’s neck?” No, we did not. Olson’s flagstick features a “flumber’s neck” design, which blends elements of (you guessed it) plumber’s and flow neck designs. According to the company, this “blends the positive performance benefits of these widely accepted traditional necks in a way that’s designed to improve feel, acoustics, and provides golfers a unique visual at address.” We see this as a midpoint between the two designs in terms of offset and appearance at address that allows a golfer to see the whole golf ball when setting up to a putt.

Sound and feel: Olson used modal analysis to refine the sound and feel of the Craft Batch No. 3. The designer pinpointed “where stress risers and high resonance areas were located” and positioned mass in optimal locations to finely tune sound and feel in line with the specifications of tour professionals.

Unique milling: Intending to aid with end-over-end roll off the putter face, Olson added a horizontal groove pattern to the fully milled stainless steel face.

Sole relief: To place the center of gravity directly behind the center of the putter, Logan Olson relies on an asymmetric sole relief channel to offset mass from the neck of the putter. This creates a more balanced weight distribution in the Craft Batch No. 3.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

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.”
