TaylorMade's Ghost Putter

Did you guys see these at the Memorial? They look really cool and apparently help you align the putt.

I want to try one!

Another gimmick.....go ahead and fall for it if you wish...

Call it what you want, but the white on green contrast does help. It is my next putter.

Putting is the most personal and mental aspect of the game. As long as you;re rolling the ball who really cares how you do it? If this helps somebody more power to them, but to knock it and dismiss it as a gimmick is asinine and short sighted.

All those Scotty Cameron's people rave about are gimmicks too. But if a $400 dollar putter makes you feel better about that 3 footer that just lipped out more power to you. It's all about confidence and you're individual stroke...

Actually, I read several articles on this. I don't particularly like white cliche products. The ghost putter was apparently developed in part by several opthamologists due to the contrast provided by the body, the lines and the cut out. It's easier for your retina to recognize and translate the alignment of the putter.

I won't put one in my bag, because after all, it is white... but I don't think it's a gimmick.

The white contrast is definitely a sweet look and helps a ton. In honor of this new putter craze and Justin Roses win two weeks ago here is my "ghost" putter I have been gaming. I may start a new thread if people are interested in seeing more pics.

Oops!... Heres the pics... Hope these work this time!

Got excited with all the talk. So I went to a local pro shop, picked it up and liked the clean finish and white color of the Rossa Corza (Ghost).
But it didn't feel right for me. Spent 20 minutes trying to like it, but didn't. Never make a decision on looks alone.
And like it's been said here countless times, pick a putter because you like its feel and it works for you. Undoubtedly
many people will game this and that's great because it works for them.

If what you say is true, wouldn't knocking a $400 putter (actually they tend to run less than $300), and dismissing it as a gimmick also be asinine and short-sighted - particularly if somebody believes such a putter helps them?

Personally, I'd have said a putter that has several inches of drainpipe on the back (read: Nickent Pipe) of it is more of a gimmick than the TM Ghost or a Scotty Cameron....but that's just me

I bought one of these and love it.  Great weight and balance, and I do like the white.
