TaylorMade OS and OS CB putters
The OS in TaylorMade’s new OS and OS CB putters stands for “oversize.” With its new putter line, the company took two of its most popular blade and mallet putters — the Daytona and Monte Carlo — and increased their size, which increased their forgiveness as well as the size of their alignment aids.
Clay Long, TaylorMade’s Director of Product Creation for Irons and Wedges, has been designing putters for a long time, most famously the MacGregor Response ZT 615 putter Jack Nicklaus used to win the 1986 Masters. That putter had an extremely high moment of inertia (MOI), a measure of forgiveness, thanks to its all-aluminum construction, which allowed the putter to be made bigger but gave it a non-traditional sound.
The OS and OS CB putters have a high MOI, but don’t skimp on feel thanks to their thin-wall, polymer-filled construction. The putters are cast from steel and then “skim milled,” which gives them a premium look and consistent shaping. After the milling process, polymer is injected into the putter bodies to dampen their sound, and the backs of the putters are then sealed with a red aluminum insert. The OS and OS CB putters also use a new TaylorMade 6061 aluminum face insert, which is vertically milled to create more friction at impact for a better ball roll.
According to Long, the OS Daytona putter is 7 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour Daytona. The OS Daytona CB, which stands for “counter balanced,” has a heavier head and heavier grip to help golfers make a smoother stroke. Its putter head measures 13 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour Daytona. The OS Monte Carlo is 5 percent larger than last year’s Ghost Tour model and 12 percent larger in the CB version.
The new line also includes a Spider OS putter, which is available in a standard and CB version that has a more square look than past Spider models from TaylorMade.
All six putters will be in stores March 18, and come stock with SuperStroke’s Mid Slim 2.0 grip (the CB versions use a 13.75-inch SuperStroke 2.0 XL grip). Learn more about each model below.

Equipment
Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Imaginative responses. I’ve played a Newport 2 for 11 years – my first and only putter. Just bought this TM because the ball continued dropping center cut after three demo days. But you chumps know everything, right?

Look interesting, maybe a few too many bells and whistles, but overall ok (I use an original Spider putter). Not a fan of the aluminum insert though as I prefer the softer insert used in the original ghost putters. Will have to try in person I guess.

Cool Ideas – Polymer fill, higher MOI
Bad – Red sight line, tacky looking, cheap looking insert, >$200.
Overall – Shank.

And TM wonders why they’re in trouble… If you make stuff like this and then attempt to peddle it to the discerning golfers at over $200 you deserve the lack of sales you’re about to see. They went from innovative and high performing/quality to a “churn it out” and we’ll market the hell out of it type of business model and this is just bad… They haven’t made a clean milled putter since the Kia Ma days and the comments on here should be read in their next board meeting.
