Old Putters, are they still legal in tournaments?

[Mattkbray]

HI All, just asking as I have a goal to play in a local tournament this year (fingers crossed) but I have a old putter I believe from the 80's and I wanted to make sure I can use it competitively. It is called an STX Sync 3 putter, very unique putter and I really enjoy using it.  The tagline for this brand is "softest legal face in golf"

There is no official conforming list,  but that putter should still be allowed for USGA and R&A tournaments

Thanks @cnosil, that's good to know. It seems like you have to rely on the brands to ensure the club is legal or not.
