Tech Talk The monochromatic head (20-20A shown), shaft and grip are designed to optically blend into the putting green so the white alignment stripes stand out. The most significant change from last year’s introductory mallet is that the open spaces in the head have been filled in, creating a solid green shape. The benefit of the large, square design is a high MOI that mitigates twisting on off-centre strikes.

Player comments “Sometimes I have trouble setting up closed, but this corrected that problem.” . . . “The green-white concept really does help, but I found the face profile a smidge high.” . . . “You could leave this on the putting green and never find it again.” . . . “Good touch on short ones; great feedback on long ones.”

Hot Free your mind and free your stroke. When you can’t see the putter, all you can (and will) think about is speed.

Not The extra-large sole has the potential to get scuffy if you’re not stroking it well.

Appearing on David Letterman was fun, but the coolest thing since winning the US Open is how fans pull for you more. Getting applause every time I walk up to a green. That's different.

Dustin Johnson
Johnson won the 2008 Turning Stone Resort Championship and the 2009 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

In a blog I wrote during the Ryder Cup, I called it "one of the greatest experiences of my professional life." As I said then, I hope I can do this again in 2010.
