YOU TAKE ABOUT HALF OF YOUR STROKES in
every round with the putter. Thus, it should be the one club in
your bag that you have the most confidence in. Even if you’ve
been happy with your old model, these new introductions are
well worth a gander.
TITLEIST
Scotty Cameron GoLo
5R and GoLo 6 putters
Scotty Cameron has created
several new versions of his
popular, three-year-old GoLo
mallet putters for Titleist,
including the GoLo 5R and
GoLo 6 models. The GoLo
5R has a B-back shape
complemented by a crisp
single bend shaft, while the
GoLo 6 features a rounded back with a crisp single bend shaft. Both putters feature
multiple materials in the form of a lightweight aluminum face-sole core surrounded
by a stainless steel frame. From a design standpoint, the aluminum forms the entire
face. This combination aims to improve perimeter weighting, stability and forgiveness.
Additionally, vibration-dampening technology softens the feel.
“The new models have better feel, better sound, better alignment and better overall
performance,” Cameron says.
Best of all, they look aesthetically elegant. The steel body has a silver mist finish that
contrasts nicely with the dark anodized aluminum face-sole core. The result is a strong
visual that pops through the top for sightline-simplifying alignment. Four-way relief
on the sole prevents snagging, ensuring a smooth takeaway even on uneven greens
($410; www.titleist.com).
