TAYLORMADE'S ROSSA CORZA GHOST: IT'S SPOOKY HOW GOOD THIS IS



















by Doug McAllister

After viewing the video remarks of putting guru, Dave Stockton, and researching everything I could about Rossa's new CORZA GHOST PUTTER, I decided to take the leap and buy one. The Result? It's absolutely "SPOOKY" how good this is!

First, I admit I was skeptical that a white putter would make any difference at all on the green. It does! I tested it head-to-head against my much darker colored putter and I was absolutely amazed at the difference. Blown away! as Stockton put it! A far clearer view of the front line of the putter and its position next to the ball. Dramatically clearer.

Next, what about the three black sight lines on the top of the Corza? Remarkable! The slightest tip or twist of the putter head and you can clearly see whether the face is square, open or closed. In fact, I will go as far as to say that you shouldn't waste your time with and of the blade versions of the GHOST that are due out in stores soon. And I have always been dedicated blade putter aficionado — until now! In my view, three sight lines are better than the one you will apparently get with the "Core Classics" and Kia Ma blade versions.

In short, the mallet shaping of CORZA GHOST is the perfect format. Period! For example, I have seen photos of one of the blade versions of this putter that is to come out — different from the all white "Core Classics" version that is currently available at some outlets. Placing a round "bubble" on the back of a blade to apparently mimick the circle on the back of the Corza — even with three shorter sight lines — makes no sense to me.

Finally, I was astonished at how quietly solid the ROSSA CORZA GHOST is when making contact during the putting stroke — especially on long putts! More solid than any blade I have owned and even more solid than Odyssey's two-ball counterparts. I echo Stockton's praise for this putter.

Go out and try it for yourself. And, while you're at it...

Hit 'em Long and Straight!
