TaylorMade unveils new SYSTM 2 putters

When you talk about TaylorMade putters, almost everyone will immediately think of the Spider series. But TaylorMade is now adding more traditional putters to its line that definitely don’t skimp on technology. The SYSTM 2 line consists of very familiar names like the Soto, Juno, and Ardmore that are all updated for maximum performance and precision, while at a more attractive price.

Check out our forums for more photos of all the TaylorMade SYSTM 2 putters.

Each SYSTM 2 putter is made from 304 stainless steel using Metal Injection Molding technology. MIM is a method for producing extremely precise parts with features you can’t create by casting or forging. Using MIM enables TaylorMade to remove excess weight from the center of the putter and redistribute it to more strategic locations for greater stability. After the putter is produced, the face is then milled flat with a fly-cut, and then a saw cutting bit creates the grooves. These grooves are there to create a softer feel and better sound at impact.

“SYSTM2 represents our commitment to delivering putters that perform at the highest level whileshowcasing the craftsmanship and precision that define TaylorMade’s world class performance equipment. By crafting each head from soft 304 stainless steel with precision milled faces and our signature two tone finish, we’ve created a complete system for every golfer. Whether a player prefers a compact blade, needs the forg iveness of our wide body Del Monte, or wants a traditional mid mallet, SYSTM2 ensures that golfers can find the perfect putter to match their stroke.” -Andrew Oldknow, Director of Product Creation, Putters

You will notice the 2-tone finish, and it isn’t there just for looks; it is part of a thought-out alignment system. TaylorMade uses its hydro-blast finish on the front silver section, which reduces scratching while providing a high-contrast look to the black portion. Hydro-blast has been used by TaylorMade on some of the TP and Spider putters over the years. The rear black part of the shaft is a matte PVD finish that creates a visual separation and allows golfers to get the putter square to the target.

TaylorMade is offering several head and neck styles with the new SYSTM 2 putters. These additional options should cater to a wide range of golfers and their unique putting strokes. There are 3 different blade models and 2 unique mallet head shapes to suit your eye. If you choose a single-bend shaft, then you will get a mallet that is face-balanced for a more straight-back straight-through stroke, or for someone who wants to feel a very stable putter. Opting for the L-Neck version will add some toe hang and could fit a golfer with a little bit of arc in their stroke more comfortably.

Check out our forums for more photos of all the TaylorMade SYSTM 2 putters.

All blade models will be available in right- or left-hand and in 34″ or 35″ stock lengths. For the mallets, left-handed golfers will get the L-Neck versions, while the single-bend models will be offered with both hosels in 34″ or 35″ stock lengths. TaylorMade SYSTM 2 putters are available at retail for $249.99.

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.”
