TaylorMade Rossa Monza Spider Putter Review

I have been putting really well with the Redwood Anser (I'll hold on to it) but the last couple times out struggled with short 3-5' range putts. I couldn't square it up and no matter how good a stroke I put on it I'd miss.

I came to the conclusion that the old 2-ball I had was deadly at this distance but the Anser was much more accurate on long putts, assuming I'd correctly read the green. I think it was because it was heavier. Too light is not good and too heavy is also not good IMHO.

So I sold my Sumo2 and took a trip to Kenosha and The Golf Shack (where I just bought my G10). They had one of these left (33") and it actually felt kind of heavy, like my Anser. I bought it.

Yes, it's fugly but not as large (or larger) as other MOI putters like the Craz-E etc.

I was asked to sub in league tonight so out on the course it goes, cold turkey. Actually I took the afternoon off and spent some time getting aquainted on the putting green.

In league I played lousy (that word "league" got in my head again) but WOW did I putt good. This putter really puts a nice roll on the ball. It could be true of all Rossa putters (face insert) but I didn't find any others this nice weight. I was doing well no matter what the distance. The allignment marks on the top seem excellent. It really works weel for me.

I guess I just removed all my equipement excuses. Now I'll have to just go through my shot routines and will DAZZLE my partners... Well, do better then usual?

Give it a try...
