PXG introduces Lydia Ko-inspired “Bat Attack” putter
Is there a more popular putter design in recent years than the mallet with “wings”? PXG is the next company to introduce its version of the design.
The “Bat Attack,” equipped with what PXG calls heavy-weighted, heel-toe wings, has a milled face insert and the company’s TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) in its core. According to the company, it’s inspired by Lydia Ko, the No. 1 female golfer in the world.
“The putter’s signature wings are set exactly a golf ball width apart and are designed to assist with alignment and support a high MOI,” says PXG.
The heads are built with aircraft-grade aluminum bodies, 304 stainless-steel faces and TPE face inserts. The overall design is made for greater forgiveness across the face. There are three weight options, including 350-, 375- and 400-gram heads; the 350-gram head has wings that are made from stainless steel, while the 375 and 400 gram heads use high-density tungsten.

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.

No doubt it’s a fine putter with a similar shape so she can aim it correctly – I’m not in love with PXG’s face insert – let’s say it’s not my favorite as it has a light feel off the ball, but it works.
Ummmm

1) Take Odyssey #7
2) epoxy some rivets on it
3) Charge $550
4) profit?

No profit, she ain’t making putts now, unlike how she used to do with the real 2-ball
new stuff!!

HUGE Lydia Ko fan here. pretty sure she has a 14 club deal with PXG and is using this Bat Attack putter because she is can’t use the 2 ball. She struggled with her putting so much she even went back to the two-ball a couple weeks ago but it seems that can’t be a long term solution. Wish she had a 13 club contract so she could use the Taylormade spider tour that everyone seems to be using these days, thanks to Jason Day.
Ummmm

Yeah Jason Day sure is lighting it up
She could switch back if her performance truly suffers. Parsons wouldn’t force that 14th club to achieve that it wouldn’t accomplish anything.
