New and custom putters are on the practice green at tour events every week being tested by players. This week we take a look at 4 putters we spotted at the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Odyssey Ai-One Milled Seven T Prototype

Cris Kirk was testing out this modified Odyssey Ai One Milled Seven T with a Versa paint scheme. The white Versa line that runs from toe to heel is used to help with alignment and making sure the putter is pointed towards the target. Chris had the Odyssey team add a flow neck to the putter for about a half shaft of offset and some added toe hang to the mallet. The edges look to be just a tad softer as do the toe and heel sections of the face. The traditional titanium Ai-One insert remains to control ball speed on mishits and be more forgiving.

Scotty Cameron Phantom T-9.5 Prototype

This unique Phantom mallet was being tested by putter connoisseur Hideki Matsuyama this week. Scotty’s Phantom 9 head seems to be getting a lot of looks from tour players recently so Hideki had to try one. A torched finish was applied to the 9.5 and you can see the coloring brighter around the smaller and sharp edges on the putter. It still has a matte finish to reduce glare from the sun to go along with the brown, purple ,and blue colors. A traditional L Neck has been welded on to add some toe hang that will make the putter feel more like a blade putter through the stroke. A simple site dot has been milled into the top of the putter for alignment and the face has a shallow milling for some additional sound and feel.

Scotty Cameron P3 Prototype

This might be the most interesting putter from the week and was one putter that Stephan Jaeger was trying it out this week. The head looks to be based off the GoLo 3 with its smaller size and more pear shape compared to the current GoLo 6. This P3 also has long, sloping shoulders like the GoLo 3 but the folks at Cameron welded a slightly longer L Neck on the putter down near the heel. The rear flange is stepped and contains a single black siteline and the face looks to be pretty thick as there is no real cavity in the back of the putter. A large sole plate contains small engine turning ornamentation and is held in place with 4 torx bolts. We can assume the putter weighs 345 grams as it is stamped down near the heel of the putter. Finally the face contains a medium depth milling with “Scotty” text and the classic crown stamped on the heel.

Scotty Cameron FB – 1.5 Prototype

The next putter that Jaeger was testing out at the FedEx St. Jude was a prototype Scotty Cameron FB – 1.5 in all black. This putter is based off of the Super Select Fastback 1.5 that you can purchase at your local shop. The biggest difference is the matte black finish and singe site dot on the top. The retail Fastback has a site line on the flange but Jaeger opted to keep that clean on his model. A short slant neck should give this putter a good amount of toe hang and he has twin 15 gram Circle T weights installed on the sole. Multiple cherry bombs have been milled into the back cavity, and face, then filled with white paint. Sotty’s SSS logo is on the face and tells us that the putter is milled from Surgical Stainless Steel that is not annealed a second time like GSS, so it could be slightly firmer in feel.
