Equipment TAYLORMADE Daddy Long Legs+ putter TaylorMade immediately anointed its Daddy Long Legs+ putter ($249) at introduction as the company’s “most technologically advanced and stable putter” ever. That’s a lot of hype to live up to. But officials can back it up with data. The putter is counterbalanced, boasting a SuperStroke XL 2.0 grip with a 125-gram counterweight; a lightweight, single-bend steel shaft; and a heavy head. This combination helps maximize stability at impact, so putts go where you intended them to. To boot, the oversized grip helps eliminate overuse of your hands during your stroke­—nearly assuring you that you won’t slap the ball away.
