Taylormade tp reserve

[syders]

Does anyone know if these are going to be offered as personalised on Taylormade website?

Does the B11 have a stability shaft like the ones in the new Cleveland and Odyssey putters? Also, is there much help with these on off centre strikes?  This information isn’t on the TM website.

No stability shafts ... Come with KBS 120 shafts standard.

I was ready to buy the B31 direct from TM. When I asked for 10 grams weight instead of stock 5 gram weights, I was told I had to buy a weight kit from Golfworks or retail. TM will not customize the weights. For $399 I want it the way I want it. Plenty of other options.

It is for this reason I would choose something like a Mizuno OMOI putter over the TM.  The Mizuno has a better feel and has a weight kit included when you buy the putter.

Bought my B11 "like new" for $260 recently.  Only played 2 rounds with it so far, but I LOVE the way it feels.  I was coming from a relatively cheap Taylormade White Smoke blade putter, so I'm not sure if I actually like milled putters, or if my brain is telling me to like them more due to the cost.  My speed control seemed to be noticeably better than my old putter, which was surprising because it was never really a weakness of mine in the first place, but it is a small sample size so far. Either way, I plan on having this thing for a long time and happy there was zero learning curve getting used to this putter.

Thorbjorn Oleson won the Ras Al Khaimah Championship this morning using a TP Reserve B11 I believe...

 

https://www.taylormadegolf.ca/TP-Reserve-B11/DW-TA422.html?lang=en_CA

 

He putted lights out, this week and I can't believe he was able to do so with such a piece of crap putter 😐(Okay, hopefully the sarcasm came through to all those TM haters). It was an excellent performance capped off by what appeared to be a 20' birdie on the closing hole. 

 

On a more serious note, I sadly believe the take-up rate on what I believe to be a very attractive line of putters is fairly low amongst the golfing public and in Canada, https://www.taylormadegolf.ca/taylormade-TP-Reserve/?lang=en_CA has lowered the price to $399.99 vs. the $529.99 regular listed retail (Yes, prices are much higher in the Peoples Republic of Canada)...

 

Cheers,

The putter feels good I’ll give it that. A little thin overall for my liking but I think the majority will still take a Spider over these.

How does that saying go again? It's the Indian not the arrow.

Very non-politcally correct LOL...

 

Agreed, but it would appear for Scotty, etc. most seem to believe the opposite 🙄

[corky]

A very much under appreciated, overlooked ‘piece of crap’……..the putter just works for me.

 

 

the Headcover though….. pretty poor materials used…..

Have fallen in love, these should be a win but will fall the Cameron fanboys

They are very nice and they feel very nice. I like the rounded mid-mallets (m33, m37) more than the Cameron versions. The TaylorMade has a better shape and better alignment IMO. 

[pk2310]

Also got the B11 recently and was disappointed it didn't include a weight kit. The stock weight was 12 grams. Did already have a Mizuno M Craft so I have a tool, but may need to buy weights for the B11.

 

 

 

[pk2310]

I had been seeing some of the Tour Only Scotty's and a lot of them have this super sharp matte finish. I love the matte finish on the B11 and it kind of reminds me of those Tour Only putters. 

[NJgolfer11]

Just got the B29 and after 1 round, I am in love.

It may be the nicest looking putter I have seen. It was on sale for $249 on Dicks Sporting Goods. Took a chance on it and am not looking back. Feels very soft. One of my buddies who owns quite a few Scotty Cameron's was very surprised how soft the feel was.

Highly recommend.

I have that exact putter.  The look and feel is second to none.

[NSiman17]

I’ve been rolling an M33 for about a month now and am really enjoying at. I think this line flew really under the radar because most people will buy Bettinardi’s and Scotty’s at the initial price point these were introduced at but I think this putter might be my favorite feeling putter I’ve rolled in quite some time.

At $249. How do you beat it?

[snowmangolf]

I can’t deny that I absolutely love how this line feels coming off the face. Probably one of the best feeling milled putters I’ve tried in a while. 

 

Do I have one in the bag? No. Why? Because it’s a TP Reserve. Am I stupid? Yes 

[jkim131]

I agree that these look and feel great!

But with this line being discounted so much now, does anyone know if there is a v2 coming out for these? or is the Reserve line somewhat 'dead'?

[hartrick11]

Agree. My B13 has benched my Scotty for now. Wish they would come out with personalization on this line... I think it would really make a big difference and I could see them taking some share from Scotty/Ping/Odyssey/Betti if you had the ability to customize weight + alignment.

I fear this ^^^^

 

TM is 'all in' on Spiders and somewhat rightfully so as these putters are their point of differentiation vs. the 'Reserve' line. 

 

For those that want traditional, milled face putters I believe the Reserve line did the trick and were a very high quality addition to their flatstick line.

 

That said, even as a TM 'superfan', it frustrates me that they at times don't go 'all the way' with some products, and although the 'My' series of customized offerrings are a good start, the lack of complete offerrings of loft, lie, shaft and weighting options is frustrating.

 

TM needs to fully commit, and sadly when they don't, they create the perception they are not 'all in' and by this they will never remotely threaten the established high-end brands in this regard. For crying out loud, if Mizuno can offer variable weights for their M-Craft line of putters why can't TM? Getting weights for my custom MySpider X putters was like pulling teeth to get decent aftermarket options, let alone TM branded TSS weights.

 

Just my .02

[MattM97]

These were nice putters and I think more people are realizing that now. It's just that TM priced them too high and basically became a sales flop, not a design/performance flop. It also didn't help there was next to none in store to try. You'd think they'd want them next to the Scottys for people to roll. 

 

Give it time as these become cheap they'll become a bit of a cult classic kinda like Yes! Then pick up a few cheap.

TP Reserves were on sale at PGA Tour Superstore for $199 when I last checked today.

thanks, looks like you’re correct. Doesn’t look like they carry the b31 unfortunately now that I’m looking.

the TP reserve seemed very much DOA when they came out. Initially overpriced and didn't really stand out amongst the other guys. They also released before their Olsen acquisition, which still seems underwhelming at this point. I feel the replacement is going to be an OlsenTM collab for the future like SC was for Titleist, and Toulon was for Callaway, but I guess we'll see with time.

Is this a rhetorical question? LOL, I kid. The TP Reserve is a solid putter line. They feel incredible and as others have mentioned, they sort of got lost in the shuffle and went under the radar a bit and were perhaps priced a bit too high. 
$250 new for one of these putters is a great price. These are still going new for €429, which is approximately $470.
