Re-Branded Corza Ghost and Four New Models Making Noise on Tour and Available Now at Retail
(CARLSBAD, Calif.) – Following the success of the original Corza Ghost, a "golf ball" white colored mallet which was used two to capture two wins on the PGA Tour in 2010, TaylorMade Golf is proud to introduce the all-new Ghost series putters. The new lineup consists of three models – TM-110 (blade style), TM-770 (mid -mallet) and the TM-880 (small-mallet) – each equipped with our PURE ROLL titallium face insert.
The new TaylorMade Ghost series putters were inspired by the immense Tour success achieved by the Corza Ghost and TM-110 Tour models in the past 12 months, as the products combined to win multiple events worldwide including twice on the PGA Tour. The Ghost TM-110 Tour, in particular, gained vast notoriety and adoption following TaylorMade-adidas Tour Staff professional Paula Creamer's victory at the 2010 U.S. Women's Open. All new Ghost series models were engineered under the advisement of PGA Tour coach and TaylorMade Tour Staff professional Dave Stockton.
"The new TaylorMade Ghost series brings the technology and science behind the white color and alignment cues from previous models to a wider audience then ever before," said Stockton. "I've never seen a series of putters that are so easy to aim."
The TaylorMade Ghost series has already experienced validation from the game’s elite in 2011. Just last week at Augusta National, 10 players used Ghost model putters, including TaylorMade-adidas Golf Tour Staff professional Jason Day, who tied for second using a new Ghost Spider prototype.
PURE ROLL Solves Common Problems with Putter Launch Performance
TaylorMade's patented PURE ROLL face inserts solve two common problems with standard putter launch performance. The first pertains to the loft of the putter face at impact. At impact, the loft of the putter face (typically 4°) lifts the ball off the ground and imparts backspin. When the ball lands, it skids and bounces before forward roll and constant ground contact begin. During this transition, from linear movement to rotational movement, the unpredictable nature of the skid phase of the putt can easily throw the ball off the intended line. Bouncing causes lateral deviation, which leads to missed putts.
Secondly, when effective loft is too low, the putter cannot sufficiently launch the ball cleanly from the depression it rests in on the green. The ball is driven forward or downward into the grass sitting immediately in front of the ball, causing the ball to bounce. Bounce steals momentum, so the ball rolls shorter than intended. Bounce can also cause the ball to deviate from the intended target line, especially if the ball should hit small imperfections on the green.
The composition and construction of the PURE ROLL insert is specially engineered to bring the grooves into direct and active contact with the ball during impact, even on short putts. The grooves in the face also serve in part to strategically soften the insert's structure. Together, these factors make the insert deform at impact, putting the grooves into direct contact with the cover of the ball.
In summation, PURE ROLL inserts help to reduce skidding, promoting precise line and optimum speed control. The result is a smoother roll and better overall performance on the greens.
