Zebra Golf

The Zebra putter was way ahead of its time when it was first launched in 1976, with its face-balanced mallet-shaped head, adjustable weight system, and the unique black-and-white stripe alignment aid proving an instant hit with tour pros and club golfers alike. Fast forward almost 50 years, and the latest models to carry the iconic Zebra name have been reinvented for the 21st century with high quality components and design elements that have created a whole new generation of fans of their eye-catching looks and impressive performance.

CNC Milled SeriesThe Company has enlisted the services of one of golf’s leading putter designers, Larry Tang – who is most famously recognised as being instrumental in the design of the Odyssey White Ball putter – to create this stunning new range.

Leveraging all of Zebra’s impressive design heritage, including the Major-winning striped alignment system, the new line up to features two mallets and two blades, all of which are made from full CNC 1025C Carbon Steel that provides a solid feel as well as great feedback through the hands.

TearDrop Putters
TearDrop, one of the game’s most iconic equipment brands, is rolling out a new range of high-performance putters for 2024 featuring the company’s trademark Roll-Face technology – a unique design that helps get the ball rolling more quickly and avoids the skid and bounce that compromise both accuracy and distance control in many other brands.

Boasting a stylish, anti-glare black oxide finish, the new range features one blade putter, the TD-1, and two mallet designs, the TD-5 and TD-7:

The TD-1 is a classic, heel-toe weighted blade putter with a crank hosel that has a moderate amount of toe hang and is suitable for the player looking for some level of face rotation. The back flange line and high-definition leading edge alignment aid makes this classic blade a breeze to line up with the hole; while the machined, radial design face with friction grooves produces a smooth, consistent roll.

The TD-5 is an ultra-modern take on the classic small, rounded mallet design. The multi-material construction of steel and aluminium assists in boosting the MOI for added forgiveness. The face-balanced shaft gives minimal amount of toehang and will suit the player looking for a small amount of face rotation whilst the elongated back line and high-definition leading edge alignment makes the TD-5 a breeze to line up with the hole.  A machined, radial design face with friction grooves produces a smooth and consistent roll.

The TD-7 oversized mallet design is the ultimate in forgiveness and alignment. The multi-material construction of steel and aluminium and winged design assists in boosting the MOI for maximum forgiveness. The face-balanced shaft gives minimal toe hang and suits the golfer looking for a small degree of face rotation. The triple-elongated back lines and high-definition leading edge alignment makes the TD-7 incredibly easy to line up to the hole; while the machined, radial design face with friction grooves produces a smooth and consistent roll all the way to the hole.

Golf retailers and media are welcome to see the collections on booth #2301 and trial the new models at the Demo Day at Orange County National on January 23.
