TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter
Earlier this summer PGA Tour Player Justin Rose used the Ghost to win the Memorial. During interviews all he could say was he putted "scary good." What a funny guy. The new Rossa Corza Ghost was designed with input from vision experts. They concluded that a white mallet would provide the most contrast with the green putting surface. While the top three alignment lines and leading edge help you square up to your line. This is the first mallet design I've seen in awhile that makes me want to take it for spin. Scotty would not be happy. Retail $159

Nike Method 001, Tiger’s New Putter
Eleven years with his trusty Scotty Cameron Newport 2, and now he makes a change? The Nike Method 001 will be in Tiger's bag this week at the British Open. The same putter used by last year's major champions Lucas Glover and Stewart Cink. Personally, I question a man's morals for cheating on his putter after a very successful relationship. This guy.

"Traditionally made and inspired from a kudu horn, the vuvuzela was used to summon distant villagers to attend community gatherings.
