TaylorMade TP Ardmore Putter Review

The modern trend in putter design is all about increasing MOI and providing maximum forgiveness. Companies across the board have achieved this with added fangs, flanges, and bars that add mass to the head and complicate the design. The TP Ardmore embodies maximum forgiveness and MOI without sacrificing the traditional mallet look preferred by most players.

Pure Roll Insert Technology is unique to Taylormade. Made of high-grade aluminum, the insert features grooves that are angled downward at 45 degrees to increase contact points at impact and get the  ball rolling forward  more quickly than traditional milled-face putters. The end result is  putts that consistently start and stay  on line.

Heel and toe weights increase stability throughout the entire stroke. By adding weight to the perimeter of the putter head, the tendency for the face to rotate is reduced and forgiveness is increased. The adjustability of the weights also allows players to optimize head weight for their individual stroke.
What draws players to the TP Ardmore the most is the bold, clean look that instills confidence. The red finish makes for a stark contrast  among the golf ball , putter, and green. The absence of sheen also means you’ll never have to worry about glare on a sunny day. Two distinct site lines on the back the of the putter aid in alignment and let you know the putter is square every  time you set up .

The TaylorMade TP Ardmore Putter stands out for its modern mallet design combined with advanced technology to enhance performance. The putter features a Pure Roll insert made of 6061 aluminum with 45° grooves, which promotes forward roll and reduces skidding, providing a consistent and true roll on the greens. The face is responsive, offering a firmer feel compared to previous models with Surlyn inserts, and emits a slightly hollow sound at impact.

Visually, the Ardmore putter is striking with its distinctive red color, which enhances contrast against the green, aiding in alignment. The white sightlines on the head further assist with precise aiming. The putter is available in various head shapes and hosel configurations, catering to different stroke types and preferences.

Performance-wise, the Ardmore putter offers a balanced feel, thanks to its 355g head weight and available shaft lengths of 34 and 35 inches. The double bend shaft makes the head face balanced, while other hosel options provide varying degrees of toe hang to suit different putting strokes. Users have reported improved lag putt control and better alignment, resulting in fewer putts per round.

Overall, the TaylorMade TP Ardmore Putter combines aesthetic appeal with functional design, making it a solid choice for golfers seeking a reliable and visually appealing putter.
