OZ.1 Putter

OZ.1 is the first Lie Angle Balanced putter with a tour-inspired design. Created with input from Adam Scott, it delivers a true zero-torque putting experience from a new half-moon, solid-body design that feels as good as it rolls. We’ve always wanted to make a tour-inspired putter. We thought it would be fun because of what we’ve learned about tour players over the years. They are positively at a different level when it comes to sensitivities around shape and feel. It was also opportune timing.

Adam has a fondness for the back end of a certain 2021 high-performance German sports car, and that was where we started with the back of the putter design. On the front side of the putter, Adam asked us to reimagine one of the most famous mallet putters of all time. We’ll leave it to the internet to make guesses here. We interpreted the shape of the back of that sports car and the front of that mallet putter for our first prototype. There were things Adam liked a lot, but he also let us know that we didn’t have to take his reco
