All seven designs have a black nickel and copper colour scheme for an attractive worn look, and are jam-packed with the latest technology to help you hole more putts.
What TaylorMade says about the Soto putter:
“Long Curve Hosel provides a traditional look at address and a Single Sightline provides a clean look at address while enhancing alignment.
“A thicker 5mm aluminum insert offers great sound, a solid feel, and was designed to optimize roll characteristics.
“A new patina finish that combines black nickel and copper to create a reveal on the edges and sole of the putter. This patina finish creates a rich, clean, and unique look that oxidizes over time.”
