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.”
