So the ARC1 is listed on the TaylorMade-Japan Site. 

http://taylormadegolf.jp/TaylorMade/arc1/DW-IPP13.html

 

My Japanese is rough. But Google translate is here to help:

  • High-performance artistic putter birth that connects intuition golfer cup and ball.
  • Alignment effect- Alignment design easy stance to the target.
  • Head design of the arc shape- Arc shape corresponding to all stroke types.
  • HIGH MOI structure- The high moment of inertia design, provide ball control that accurate and stable.

So I'm not sure how much that helps. Though I am super interested in learning about "high-perfromance artistic putter birth". That's a great band name. Totally going to see them live at the Hammersmith Apollo...

 

For now, let's enjoy the photos and speculate on who will game the putter on tour.

On the plus side whenever it fails you can turn it upside down and take the back of the mallet head off and play horseshoes with it. 

 

But for real: That is one large parter head.

I actually kind of like the look.  It could serve as two things.  The first as a putter, and the second I could stand it up on a rug and putt into because that thing is the same size as a real hole.
