I would like to know too.  Giving off "shut up and take my money" vibes.  Dont love the look of the labs and didnt love the pxg allan.  I liked my spider tour x DB with the exception of more toe hang than I would like

Spider Tour X DB should be face balanced and have no toe hang right?

We need a date!!!! When are they coming out? Take my money

No doubt about it!  Perfect time to release it too after the win.

If production is ready then they need to speed up all the other release effort. 

 

You get a guy who was 4th or 5th in SG Putting for the event and #1 was denny mccarthy (he doesn't count...lol). Top 4 putter for the event he made the switch in a world where the zero torque craze is still rampant....you release ASAP.

I know Brian isn’t a Taylormade guy, but why not mention him at all? Or is that putter that good he didn’t do anything?

He's not a TM player, he's a Titleist player. That's why they can't mention his name.

Why? If his contract says he can use the club isn’t it good for them to show him using the club? 
seems more titleist/scottys problem then Taylormade?

Because if they use Brian Harmons name image or likeness, they need to pay Brian’s Harmon.  They probably aren’t paying him……

Exactly right!  Strike when the iron is super hot👍

Oh?! Is this a hunch, or a little more…?

i can't say when but just hold tight.. hopefully Harman's win will expedite it!

Not saying this putter didn't help but hasn't Harman always been a good putter.  He was +11.57 strokes gained putting when he won the British.

Everyone is a good putter the week they win 😂 

he was 140th before this week in strokes gained, last year was much better so something has been off/trending down

TM should sign Harman up, as spokesperson for this ZT putter! 🙂

If those guys were like a lot of us in this forum, they'd head-case themselves off the tour in 2 years. The access to equipment they have is so unlimited, if they got deep into technology then they'd forever chase specs.

BH is so nonchalant about winning with his new putter.  I’m sure Titlest is saying please don’t hype it up too much😂

[Orlandogolfguru]

I am sure TM would love to ramp production, they most likely were not planning on a win right out of the gate. That said - you know the execs were pushing China to produce more yesterday! It would look bad to release it and only have a hundred or so... they probably need thousands now to supply the demand. I mean... Ill take one for sure.

[Pnwpingi210]

I think Harman had a lot of his mind this weekend and talking about his new putter was probably #477278537 of things to talk about.

No doubt!  I’m sure the heads are all trying to figure out how to make this work very quickly.  Nice problem to have! 

[tarrantian]

I love the idea of this, but not a centre shaft kinda guy (Which I believe is a key cornerstone of 'Zero Torque'?)...

 

Like most things puttery, it's feels a bit gimmicky, but I'm alway open minded!

nice job @knudson81on Harman's WITB recap

... i went straight to the putter discussion (timestamp ~8m31s)... to see how you 'finessed' the discussion on the putter that Harman wasn't able to talk about (apart from "it felt really good and it rolls nice")

 

... must've felt really good, to have persuaded Harman to move away from his longstanding "Elder wand"

(sorry if "Elder Wand" = usually trademarked/ kept just for referring to Tiger's putter!)

 

...p/s: @pga43's inside-the-ropes photos/videos, of Harman using the new putter on the practice greens = the icing on the cake!

When I shot Brian's WITB at Houston he was putting with his old time gamer and the ZT was in the bag.  As I pulled the ZT out to shoot it, Brian walked over and handed me the gamer and said here shoot the gamer.  He took the ZT away from me before I could shoot it.  Tursky was standing right next to me and gave me a look like Brian did that on purpose so I wouldn't shoot it.  So I snapped a shot of him putting with it and Andrew got video.  

 

Glad he won but wish I had the in hand of the winning putter.

Give SC a few weeks and they’ll be another limited run spinoff of the TM🤣

Yeah that makes so much sense. Imagine us having unlimited access to try everything and have anything all the time. Would we even basically be playing golf at that point? Lol. They must just fight to tell themselves this works just stick with it until it dont. Also must be annoying to have to be forced into at least playing a new driver in the bag every year.
