[@beefwantko7269]

Ill thank you on ricks behalf, and the Channel that trying starting out I would love to get sent a Demo of the club.. ive been using the same taylor made putter for a decade I have a 10 ft indoor green and i hit about 60 percent of them, and I was gifted an old 1960's ping putter that dam near has 90 degrees of toe hang.. and I made 53 puts inna row from around 9 feet. ive been looking for something special and different.. and every time I go and spend time on the greens at the PGA store i spend hours with differnt toe hangs, brands, handles, and I just cant find the putter for me.. give me a thumbs up if I should record me making as many 10 foot puts inna row on my putting surface.. the best ive done is well 53 inna row.. but around 62 out of 70.. no green lines ro fancy putting green like ricks.

Thanks for your HONESTY and what appears to be genuine shock, again thank you. I've been watching for years and this may be the shortest review of a product that I've seen you do. For me, it makes sense. Friction on the top of the putter and the 'scoop' towards the back of it looks like it will not drag or get caught by the turf. Would like to see it on the course!

Ed bassmaster - Just look at it.

[@Ivorengland]

It’s quite clear on the video, you pulled the 9 footer. No putter could have saved you from that. So not the putter’s fault. This is not really original. Teardrop made Roll Face Putters decades ago. Do you remember Ram Putters? I have a Ram shaped putter made by Bettenardi, designed by Teardrop with a roll face with grooves similar to this putter. It’s visually stunning in my opinion with absolutely first class build and puts an end over end roll on the ball every time. This idea really works. Rick, put it in your bag is my advice. You might find it runs a bit further, as it rolls the ball right from the start instead of skid and roll but you will get used to that after a while and adjust your backswing length to compensate. Give it a real go. I think you will love it.

[@krusher74]

Putter manufacturers use every nit of tech going to get our putts rolling faster and the Rick shields of the world always miss understand it all. imagine being an engineer working on this for years and then this dufus is your spokes person to the world! I bet they send him a letter telling him all about it and he throws it in the bin.

[@keithmctaggart7663]

what model is your putter?

[@Ivorengland]

It’s a Zebra Rollface Teardrop Z2

[@PaulTomiuk]

Another great review Rick. I would love to see some on course testing as well but in weird lies. One area I could see this putter potentially helping is when you are on the edge of the fringe, or maybe just an inch or two in to the rough but want to putt it. Testing out all those various lies and situations where your putter might get snagged by the grass ... throw in a few bunkers while you're at it

[@frankymr2]

That click it makes is so satisfiying . Seems like a good concept, it focus all the force into a smaller spot rather than a full face.

[@merocaine]

Like a snooker ball

[@crispyduck1706]

Looks like the Teardrop putter from the 90s

[@bbates9332]

That is immediately what I thought of when I saw it!

[@seanm3226]

Same principle.

[@Bikerz_rule]

Exactly what I thought but the face is sharper with this one. I would buy one but not at £230

[@KentnDebi]

Old technology...Teardrop may have patented it too. No research done, poor review really 😔

[@rufussthoo4083]

Maybe not an entirely new concept, but this is a much more extreme design than the original curved-face Teardrop putter. And patents only last 20yrs in the US.

[@jrizzle59]

This putting setup you've got (with the practice mat and all the light-guided visuals) is what has changed your putting game. It's making a huge difference in your practice which has made a huge difference in your game ... And, it's made me jealous.

[@stephendibari5010]

Its needs a lie angle balanced setup and it would be GOLDEN.

[@Hamishmcbeth]

I forgot my putter once and played a round putting with my 56. Really enjoyed the feel! But sometimes caught it off angle obvs! Very intrigued by this…

[@timothysoto3254]

@HITgolfreviews !! We want to see 20 footers, 50 footers, and of course the forward press wedge. That’s what we’re gonna do with it… does it work?

[@SpoilerGolf]

Works wonderfully well for all that.

[@francoiskotze5424]

I am sooo glad to see this! I have always thought that using the leading edge of my wedge gives me a better role on my putts. Glad to see im not the only one. Gonna get me one

[@krusher74]

If that gives you better roll you are probbaly hitting down on the ball with your putter/delofting the face at impact driving the ball into the ground, it's almost impossible to do that with the leading edge of a wedge. Buy this or just fix how you putt.

[@SpoilerGolf]

Let's Roll!

[@michaeldeburgh2173]

The round bounce may help those putting strokes where you hit the ground before the ball.

[@lerugolf]

just lift your club a bit before putting... you just can't fat a putting shot....

[@SteveFromStockport]

​@@lerugolfthat's when we'll most likely top it! 😁

[@davidhawkes9273]

This putter is based on a cylindrical putter designed many years ago by Harrold Swash, which basically imparts top spin to the ball. It also makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to hood the face.

[@davidlake4353]

Can you have a closeup of a sideon view of the putter hitting the ball and seeing it roll off the head?

[@krusher74]

[@godslave1990]

I’d love to see a ranking of all of the putters you’ve reviewed in, say, the last 2 years. Including these gimmicks. Just really curious to see how they all stack up. Your Ping, the LAB DF3, the little barrel one.. that would be so fun.

[@abehuffman6447]

Looks good. Hard to hit the club into the ground first too like we all often do. Seems like it would just bounce off the green giving a solid hit. I might want one!!!

[@alejoflores409]

Lets see That On the course!

[@scotthime6928]

I used to putt with the blade of my sand wedge from the fringe. It worked so well that I putted that way all the time for about two years. The truth is, my main reason for quitting was that it made my tournament partners crazy - and every time I ran past the hole they blamed it on the sand wedge. I actually LOVE the idea of this putter.

[@GeorgeJFW]

Can you please test the Cleveland smart sole wedges, they just came out with a lob wedge and it’s pretty great. the Hy-wood is also amazing Cleveland needs some HIT love!

[@JHoll84]

Definitely!

[@alfandeddie]

Love my 3 Hy-Wood!

[@krusher74]

I love my smart sole C and S, people at my course always ask what they are once I hit good shots with them , but they never buy them, and I love to watch them continue to duff everything with their vokeys! Cleveland seem to make them hard to buy though, never many options in stock anywhere. Are you sure they do a "Lob" all I see in the smart sole 4 is the Chipper, gap and sand. or are you seeing the 58deg sand as a lob wedge?

[@GeorgeJFW]

@@krusher74 nope it’s new for this year gen 4 full face 64 degrees, it’s super hard to get, I lucked out on ebay. It’s an awesome club tons of spin!!!

[@Buckeye1949]

That design should benefit puts from off the green. From the fringe, place the ball back in your stance a bit and it should add lift, helping it skim over the fringe. From taller grass off the green, hit below the ball center line and chip with this putter. Many golfers use a putting stroke when they chip with a wedge or iron from just off the green. This putter may make that put chip shot easier to pull off. I’ll know soon. I just ordered this putter.

[@SpoilerGolf]

Other than the pure roll it imparts on the green. You can hit some really fun shots with it...

[@LewO8]

I love these videos when you find something so unique but so fit for purpose! HOWEVER, pleaseee take it out on the course!! I always sit and wonder, 'why the hell would you not just use it!'. I thought the same with the Lab putter too and never saw it in the bag.

[@44rgilliam]

That might be the best video yet on this channel.

[@stevedixon9574]

Fair play to the company for designing it. It was the same when lab putters came out, they were and still are a weird looking putter but amazing to put with. This one could be the next big thing for the perfect roll. Gotta test it on the course Rick. Give a 9 hole stroke play test.

[@SpoilerGolf]

[@tonymac1257]

It sounds great as you strike the ball. A satisfying click.

[@wayneriley7367]

A week ago I was invited to a golf funday and although I couldn’t make it for the tee time(work), I joined them later and shared a set as mine was at home. I didn’t like the guys putter so I took his blade sand wedge and they couldn’t understand how I could hole out most hole with ease.. I love this idea..

[@SpoilerGolf]

You're the man.

[@danieljacques9560]

Interested to see how this would work putting from around the green in a longer cut with the ball sat up? Great review now let’s see it on the course

[@jeffgrant4164]

Similar to the Teardrop putter back in the 90s.

[@TheIslandExpat]

I really don't see a resemblance. Maybe the back of it...but that's a huge stretch.

[@seancartledge4748]

Ya the tear drop roll face came out over 20 years ago. The face was smooth, though. I like that they incorporated grooves into it and usually patents only last 20 years...

[@scott2972]

You know where this design might come in handy? When the ball is right up against the long stuff on the fringe.

[@NextFairwayNorm]

You can’t replace the Ping on current form. Get Guy to use it out on course, he needs the help😂

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

The sole also allows it to skip across the grass if you happen to hit the big ball first.

[@williamkerner]

I think you need to do a follow up on this putter, on the course. Bill Aiken, SC

[@chrismuratore7084]

I was wondering if you were afraid to putt one with it! Btw, congrats on your skins haul in my home state! Clutch putts!

[@ericmaher2316]

Honestly I can see how good the concept is. I've seen putts that jump sometimes and it's like backspin on the ball at some courses. But if the ball is slightly forward of my stance and i hit up on the ball it rolls way better. Similar how this is designed. Cool idea.

[@SpoilerGolf]

Much appreciated.

[@brenainncross125]

so cool to see new tech coming out and working well!

[@carramrod8232]

[@jephfandingo1438]

I've been following this company since day 1 and I want this putter soooo bad 😍😍😍

[@itsaflyboything]

seems like it's minimizing the "skid" phase of the putt when you hit the ball above the equator line. with the added "up" angle, it does seem like it would roll pretty good out of the gate. interesting!

[@SpoilerGolf]

This. Yes.

[@buitenwesten8444]

Very interesting concept to be honest.. When you pure a putt with a wedge it does feel good! When you take out the unpredictability of where you strike the ball it must be nice

[@SpoilerGolf]

yep.

[@SableParrot]

I assume it works because it doesn't lift the ball, like putters with 4 degree loft. That combination of hitting the center of the ball, but it not breaking contact with the surface starts it rolling immediately. However, its reliant on a consistent lie on a consistent surface. Different lies will make the ball react differently. Using it on artificial surfaces is no test

[@SpoilerGolf]

Correct, earlier friction with the putting surface reduces backspin/skid, allowing for pure, forward roll earlier in the putt.

[@mightydub6459]

Let's call it an improvement on the original Teardrop putter....which did have sound physics behind it, and some people really liked. I want to try this.

[@szucsster]

What is driving me crazy right now is this was my putter idea, but if you don't have the money and you don't act on your ideas somebody else will. I wish them success!

[@gerhardprasent3358]

Everyone can 3 or 4 putt with anything ... no putter can correct missreads, mishits etc. - but this one looks really fine

[@briankoenig8923]

Definitely need to see it shaft forward out of the greenside fringe.

[@robsengahay5614]

Clever because it looks like it is easier to put a good roll on the ball. I have a tendency to hit down on my putts from time to time which puts back spin on the ball. Also this would surely be better for those putts when the fringe is behind the ball.

[@jakefairbanks]

Been waiting for this one! I've been tracking them on Instagram for quite a while, so I'm glad to see it in the hands of a big name! Hoping some other creators and testers pick it up.

[@lillithara5120]

some times the gimmick stuff just clicks with people. One of my favorite putter ever is the old T-Balance putters by Tour Edge. It was a center shafted ish putter, but the shaft did a 90 degree bend and connected towards the back of the putter head.

[@mq2823]

Ricky Fowler does something to get the same effect, he will float his putter right before he strokes the putt and hits center of the ball with a semi upstroke. This just takes having to float your putter out of the problem (I have tried to float it but wobble lol) By By bouncy putts

[@imapotato572]

Its low to the ground to give it more downforce when cornering😂

[@SpoilerGolf]

nailed it.

[@lavin214]

Putting with a wedge is actually a good drill as it forces you to be quiet with your stroke. Catch it too low and you pop the ball up and catch it too high and the ball doesn't go anywhere.

[@SpoilerGolf]

Doing this drill was part of the reason that sparked the idea for Spoiler OG.

[@RuckusOutfitters]

i’m curious how it rolls on long putts where you gotta put some steam behind it. I don’t like to forward press with my Scotty, but if I don’t on long putts it tends to skid for quite some time before it begins to roll

[@martinharvey3990]

It does actually make sense... I good putter (player/club) will get lots of top spin and this thing obviously encourages that. 👍

[@SpoilerGolf]

Agreed.

[@warrenator1000]

I would love you to try the Lean Lock putter. Tested my self for My Golf Spy and it was one of the oddest putters I have ever used/seen.

[@dholiday9315]

I really want to see it from the edge of the fringe, slightly out of the second cut type of shots where traditional putters can get caught up I feel like this one would shine. And I also think it would be nearly impossible to lose concentration and dig into the green with this putter it’s like it has bounce and would just glide through any type of stroke and at least make solid contact so no leaving it short. I’m genuinely intrigued not gonna lie. 😂

[@mirrastyle4524]

Reminds me of the C Groove stuff from Yes! Supposedly that tech did the same thing - put an upward kick on the ball to get it rolling faster. Love their stuff.

[@SpoilerGolf]

right? :)

[@j0ller]

When I putt I tilt the shaft forward a bit when i start the back stroke. I wonder if the leading edge would end up to low on the ball with that putter?

[@SpoilerGolf]

Lot's of variables in putting. The more you lean the shaft forward, yes, the leading edge will be lower, but depends on your stroke and attack angle - more-so. As long as you are impacting the ball on the start of the upswing (right after the bottom of your arc), a bit of shaft lean shouldn't be an issue.

[@castanddrive2023]

RIck, please take it on the course. This is very intriguing

[@brendanmuldoongolf9613]

My golf buddy sometimes putts with his Wedge - hitting the ball with the edge of his Wedge. This happens when he is in a hurry with golfers behind us ! He normally rolls the ball better than me with my normal putter - when he is near the hole - he normally gets a " gimmie " but if not he finishes off really well and holes it with the wedge !! ???? Love to try this - I have a crazy theory that you need different putters on different holes - and some times two putters one for Lag putts (Blade) and another (Mallet ) for close in ?
