Tour Edge’s Wingman 700 series of putters features three modern designs and six hosel options, with new shapes offering cascading MOI (moment of inertia) properties which match the size of the putter head to provide maximum stability and optimal roll for every player type.
The three designs provide alignment optics using the Lock-On technology alignment system, improved acoustics and a softer feel. Interchangeable sole weights (3, 8 and 15 grams) on the heel and toe are featured in every model.
“The original Wingman putters enjoyed a cult-like success, and over the past two years we’ve been improving upon that success in every way possible,” said David Glod, Tour Edge president and chief designer. “We put our focus on expanding the series to fit more player preferences in the shaping and to really upgrade the look, sound and feel of the putters in a big way.
“The result of our two-year revamp is six new putter models that represent some of the highest-MOI putters on the market.”
The Wingman 700 Series ($199.99) includes three models (33, 34 or 35 inches) numbered 701 through 706, with hosel options including mid-toe hang, double-bend face balance or center shaft.
The Super Max MOI models 701 and 702 produce extreme MOI in a mallet design that forces the face square to the swing path for a truer roll due to the extreme perimeter-weighted wings. This larger footprint provides an extremely high resistance to twisting.
Max MOI 703 and 704 remove the perimeter wings featured on the Super Max models and move the interchangeable weights forward for more face control while providing a gradual step down in MOI for those wanting a more compact, smaller footprint.
The High MOI mini-mallet models 705 and 706 (center shaft) provide the playability of a blade putter with the stability of a mallet. Its wings have been shortened, as has the Lock-On alignment, to provide balance of player shaping, alignment and a compact footprint. The interchangeable weights are also more face forward to add even more directional control and accuracy.
All three shapes feature a hollow carbon sole plate with a larger surface area, redistributing weight to the sides and back of the clubhead to help boost MOI. Carbon replaces 34 percent of the stainless steel to create even more perimeter weighting and stability.
The faces feature horizontal microgrooves to improve forward roll earlier and reduce skidding, with a softer TPU insert for improved feel.
