PXG launches new Battle Ready II Torpedo putter
PXG has announced the launch of its latest putter — the Battle Ready II Torpedo.
“While zero-torque putters have recently gained attention for their unique approach to stability, many golfers still prefer the feel, look, and performance of more traditional putter styles. The Battle Ready II Torpedo answers that call.” – PXG Chief Product Officer Brad Schweigert

Engineered with PXG’s milled 303 stainless steel hollow-body construction and advanced S COR Technology — a lightweight polymer core — the Battle Ready II Torpedo shifts mass to the perimeter of the head, in design to deliver exceptional stability and forgiveness. Paired with PXG’s ultra-thin 0.055-inch face, the putter bids to provide players with quality sound, superior feel, and consistent ball speed across the face.
For players seeking the perfect fit, the Torpedo also features interchangeable hosel options – including heel shafted, plumber’s neck, double bend, and armlock. This allows golfers to select their ideal setup based on stroke type and preferred look at address.

PXG’s Precision Weighting Technology enables fine-tuning of the clubhead balance and launch characteristics in design to counteract pulls, pushes, or other stroke tendencies.

The Torpedo features PXG’s third-generation Pyramid Face Pattern, designed to optimize interaction with ball dimples, improve roll characteristics, and deliver the soft sound of an insert with the responsive feedback of a milled face. A bold primary sightline and arrow-like alignment geometry also seek to make aiming intuitive and repeatable.

“Every golfer has a unique stroke. With the new Battle Ready II Torpedo, we’ve created a highly adaptable clubhead for an exceptional fit. With its familiar mallet profile, versatile hosel options, and fine-tuned weighting, it delivers the forgiveness and consistency today’s players seek, while preserving the classic feedback and aesthetics golfers have trusted for decades.” – Bob Parsons, PXG Founder & CEO
The PXG Battle Ready II Torpedo putter is available in both right- and left-handed models and can be fitted with multiple shaft and grip configurations.

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.
