While Spider-mania has taken over the PGA Tour<\/a> in the past year, TaylorMade still hasn\u2019t forgotten about blades.<\/a><\/p>\n

With their new SYSTM2 putters launch, the company is not only introducing three new blade models, along with two mid-mallets, but these putters will feature a new MIM (Metal Injection Molding) construction, a first for the company\u2019s putters. The putters still feature flymill faces, preserving a soft feel many players prefer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSYSTM2 represents our commitment to delivering putters that perform at the highest level while showcasing the craftsmanship and precision that define TaylorMade\u2019s world-class performance equipment,\u201d TaylorMade Director of Product Creation (Putters) Andrew Oldknow said in a release. \u201cBy crafting each head from soft 304 stainless steel with precision-milled faces and our signature two-tone finish,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0created a complete system for every golfer. Whether a player prefers a compact blade, needs the forgiveness of our wide-body Del Monte, or wants a traditional mid-mallet, SYSTM2 ensures that golfers can find the perfect putter to match their stroke.\u201d<\/p>\n

What might be most striking about the putters is the price point, coming in at just $250, well below the cost of the popular Spider mallet<\/a> and many other premium putters on the market. Yet these putters feature one of TaylorMade\u2019s most advanced constructions to date.<\/p>\n

Keep reading below for more on the TaylorMade SYSTM2 putters, including my take on the release.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s actually new with TaylorMade SYSTM2 Putters \u2014 and why you should careA new kind of mold<\/p>\n

MIM constructions<\/a> have been around the golf space for some time, but they\u2019ve picked up steam over the last couple of years, thanks to both costs coming down and the unique control it offers designers. SYSTM2 is TaylorMade\u2019s first use of the technology in their putters.<\/p>\n

Through the use of MIMing, as opposed to traditional methods of casting or milling, TaylorMade was able to remove mass from behind the face and reallocate it toward the toe and heel, increasing stability.<\/p>\n

The use of 304 stainless steel and a flymill face with saw-milled grooves creates a soft and premium feel. This is going to feel different than the Pure Roll insert on TaylorMade\u2019s Spider putters, but still on the softer side.<\/p>\n

Two-tone alignment features<\/p>\n

One of the best arguments for switching to larger mallet putters after the forgiveness boost is the additional alignment features. All the SYSTM2 putters tackle that obstacle with a two-tone finish that includes a scratch silver front piece and black PVD back.<\/p>\n

The two-tone perpendicular contrast creates a visual separation for the golfer, helping them set up square to the target and keep it that way through the stroke.<\/p>\n

The TaylorMade SYSTM2 lineup<\/p>\n

There are five different head shapes in SYSTM2 putter lineup with three blades and two mallets. The blades are only available with L-neck hosels, while the mallets will be offered with both L-necks and single-bend shaft options.<\/p>\n

Soto 12<\/p>\n

\"TaylorMade
\n The Soto 12 from all angles.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade<\/p>\n

What is it: A classic Anser-style blade with rounded bumpers and an L-neck hosel.<\/p>\n

Who it\u2019s for: Players who prefer rounded visuals and softer edges while having moderate toe flow.<\/p>\n

Juno 12<\/p>\n

\"Juno
\n The Juno 12 from all angles.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade<\/p>\n

What is it: A classic Anser-style blade with squared bumpers and an L-neck hosel.<\/p>\n

Who it\u2019s for: Blade players who prefer more angular shapes and perpendicular aligment features.<\/p>\n

Del Monte 12<\/p>\n

\"Del
\n The Del Monte 12 from all angles.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade<\/p>\n

What is it: A wide-body blade with squared bumpers. <\/p>\n

Who it\u2019s for: Blade players who don\u2019t want to tranisition to a mallet, but want more stability.<\/p>\n

Ardmore 12\/72<\/p>\n

\"Ardmore
\n The Ardmore 12 from all angles.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade<\/p>\n

What is it: A more modern mid-mallet shape that isn\u2019t quite a half-moon shape with a couple of corners for added stability.<\/p>\n

Who it\u2019s for: Players who prefer the half-moon shape but with more stability.<\/p>\n

Bandon 12\/72<\/p>\n

\"Bandon
\n The [PRODUCT NAME] from all angles.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade<\/p>\n

What is it: A modern fang-style mid-mallet available in two different hosel options: L-Neck and single-bend.<\/p>\n

Who it\u2019s for: Players seeking max forgiveness from a mid-mallet with angular alignment lines.<\/p>\n

My take: New tech, better price, more options<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to sit here and pretend SYSTM2 is cheaper than TaylorMade\u2019s most recent blade\/mid-mallet release. In fact, each putter is $50 more expensive.<\/p>\n

However, what these new models have is the benefit of the MIM tech, allowing for greater stability and a different face technology with the sawmill grooves.<\/p>\n

Are the grooves on a milled face better or worse than TaylorMade\u2019s Pure Roll insert? No, that\u2019s not what this is about. The Pure Roll insert is one of the reasons the Spider has been so successful, but some people simply prefer a soft milled feel.<\/p>\n

This gives players different options.<\/p>\n

While a blade isn\u2019t going to be quite as forgiving as a high-MOI mallet, the MIM technology helps level the playing field with more stability through the heel-toe weighting.<\/p>\n

Overall, SYSTM2 isn\u2019t going to be a release that jumps off the page immediately, but when you look closer, not only will these putters round out TaylorMade\u2019s lineup, but they could also serve as a stepping stone for future putter releases.<\/p>\n
