SCOTTY CAMERON CONCEPT X CX-01
Scotty Cameron’s Concept X CX-01 sports wings that stabilize the
putter through impact. That, in turn, enhances forgiveness, so you’ll hit
your target more often. Its dual-zone vibration dampening chambers
help precisely tune sound and feel, by separating each chamber
with a band of stainless steel. It’s “for the player who wants the feel
and performance of a Tour-proven blade style putter, but wants to
benefit from the latest technology to achieve more forgiveness,” says
Cameron. “It’s fast looking and high-tech. But by making it wider, it’s
more forgiving. … You get the best of a blade and the best of a mallet
in one.” $599, scottycameron.com
ODYSSEY RED BALL
Odyssey incorporated an old idea into its new Red Ball mallet. It has
top and bottom levels: The upper has a circular “scope” hole in it, the
lower features a small red ball. When you stand over the putter, you
visually center the red sphere in the scope—in the spirit of SeeMore
Putter’s renowned RifleScope technology. That lets you know that
your putter is in proper position. It’s a simple yet effective approach.
At that point, the only thing you need to worry about is the speed of
your putt. The Red Ball features Odyssey’s popular White Hot RX face
insert that enhances sound, feel and roll. $599, odysseygolf.com
PXG OPERATOR
PXG’s Operator is a forgiving mallet designed to be fine-tuned
to a golfer’s personal stroke. Three hosel configurations are
available that each match different stroke preferences and
degrees of face rotation during the stroke. And you can use
multiple sole weights, available in increments of 2.5, 5, 10, 15
and 20 grams, to adjust the overall head weight between 330
and 400 grams. It sports multiple subtle alignment features,
along with a single, high-contrast stripe that makes it a cinch to
line up. The head has a soft billet-milled stainless steel face and
aircraft-grade aluminum body. $450, pxg.com/en-us
