T Squared Putters - 2024 Forum Review

[GolfSpy_APH]

Hot off their impressive performance in MyGolfSpy Most Wanted testing, we are excited to bring T Squared putters to our member testing platform. The T Squared TS-912 finished third overall and was the best putter from 10 feet. Considering there were 39 putters tested this year, that is impressive. However, the story of how the brand was created and founded blows that out of the water.
About T Squared

I would love to tell the full story here but our own John Barba has already done this must-read article on T Squared which you can read HERE. Instead, I will give you the shorter version. T Squared was created by Tony Tuber in 2018 who, at the time, was just 17 years old.

The company now offers nine putter models, all hand-built and with different customization options. Several of the T Squared models have different finishes, neck options and shaft colors to go along with standard customization options such as dexterity, shaft length and lie angle.

Please welcome and congratulate our testers!

INTRO:

I'm really excited to be back and testing with MGS again and especially for the T Squared Putter. Thank you to T Squared and the Mods for the opportunity!

(Sweetens Cove let's you bring your dog if you want to)

I grew up in Atlanta and live here now, but if my username didn't give it away, I went to TCU in Fort Worth where I met my wife and lived in Texas for about 7 years. I grew up playing golf from an early age, but chose to play competitive Tennis in middle and high school until I tore the labrum in my hip which subsequently drove me back to golf. From then on, I've been a self-proclaimed golf sicko. And if golf itself isn't expensive enough, there's nothing I love more than traveling with family and friends to play more golf. I go on 3 to 4 golf trips a year and primarily focus on trying to play the top 100 courses you can play in the US and world. This year alone I've knocked out: Casa de Campo Teeth of the Dog in the DR, Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes, and the Lido. If you are ever interested in planning a golf trip and needs some recommendations, give me a call. Now for some more golf trip photos from recent years then I'll dive into what I'll be reviewing during this testing cycle.

(TPC Scottsdale #16)

What I'll be testing: TS-912 (Tour)

For context, the biggest strength of my game has always been my putting. Prior to the last 6 months, I rarely 3-putted and averaged 27 putts a round, but this year it's skyrocketed to 33 putts a round leading to 5 or 6 more bogeys a round. I recently moved on from my Odyssey White Hot OG #7, and I purchased a Bettinardi Queen B #6 from a friend who won it at a raffle. For the next 6 weeks, I'll be soul searching for a former strength in a head to head battle between the Bettinardi and the T-Squared. I'll be splitting this test into 3 primary categories: Feel/Confidence (Hard to objectively test), 3-putt avoidance, and putts made inside of 10 feet.

How I'll test:

I have a perfect practice matt in my office so I'll be running a lot of putts on that and trying to dial in the 5-7 foot range putts there. I play 4-5 rounds a month and will spend some of those playing two putters and splitting nines to see the difference. I'm lucky enough to get to play a lot of my local golf at courses with some really nice greens, so the testing conditions should be pretty consistent. I'll also be playing some slower greens to see if there's a putter that performs better depending on speed of greens. 

What it needs to do to get in my bag:

For the T-Squared to make it in the bag, I would like to see my putts per round drop down into the sub 30 average again and my make percentage inside of 10 feet go back up to around the 40-45% range it was at before. Importantly though, I will need to feel confident over the ball again.

If there are any specific tests you'd like to see with the putter, send them on over. 

 

First Impressions (10 out of 10):

I received my T Squared 912 on Wednesday, but just got back in town from a few days in New Orleans (for work, no chance I'm going to New Orleans in June for fun). You got to love a good unboxing, but when I saw the package I instantly got a little worried. as you'll see below UPS treated my putter box less than ideally.

 

Luckily for me, T Squared did a great job packing the putter with foam padding and bubble wrap. The personalized note from the owner and the product manager was a fantastic touch!

I've been playing the last month with a Bettinardi Queen B #6 so over the ball it's a very similar look as they're both traditional mid-mallets. First Impressions on the putting matt are telling me this may be an awesome putter to use when I'm playing quicker greens. The more dead milled face is a completely different feel than I'm used to as I've always putted with an insert previously, but I'm really liking it inside so far.

 

Aesthetics (8 out 10):

I have a golf enthused office full of gear heads and casual golfers alike. I'm the Director of Technology at a small investment bank, so I keep a putting matt and a few putters in my office to distract people when I'm trying to fix something for them or get their thoughts on how to solve a problem. Everyone in the office absolutely loves the look. 

Right off the bat, I went with a super simple all black from head to toe and the guys were kind enough to let me throw a Purple backplate as an homage to TCU. I then capped off the look with a green buffalo on the bottom to go full 'joker' style. The mid-mallet forgiveness with the confidence of a blade look are a perfect blend for standing with confidence over the ball. The muted feel off the milled face is a really solid feel and has a true premium milled face feel that rivals any of the big names. I did deduct two points for the off center alignment aid. I know this is intentional, but for me I just really struggled with the pure aesthetics of the off center line. 

 

 

The Numbers: (14 out of 20):

Overall my practice was typically broke into two distances which I've talked about on comments. I put a tee in the middle of a practice green and take 3 putts from each corner at 10 feet and 20 feet. I tracked my percentages over my practices with it.

10 Feet: 

1 Putt: 36%

2 Putts: 58%

3 Putts: 6%

20 Feet:

1 Putt: 12%

2 Putts: 72%

3 Putts: 16%

There is nothing glaringly bad about the performance. The 3 putt percentages on both are higher than I'd like, but this testing season came during aeration season in Georgia so there were some bad bumps definitely. Overall there was definitely some speed control issues with the TS-912. Surprisingly there were more issues on the uphill putts than the downhill putts. On the toe misses, I could definitely feel the face shut down easily and ended up with some pulled putts that also tended to roll further than expected.

On Course (14 out of 20):

The results on course were very similar to the practice sessions I had. For my playing time I split my rounds 50/50 between the Bettinardi and the T-Squared. For courses with fast greens, I found the T-Squared almost too dead of a face which surprised me. I found myself struggling to really tighten in my dispersion and get in my goal of a 3 foot circle for putts. On slower courses, the T-Squared excelled on downhill and slider putts, but again struggled with uphill speed control. 

The final decision came down to this weekend. On Saturday, I played with the TS-912 and Sunday with the Bettinardi. On Saturday, I had 38 putts with five 3 putts, nine 2 putts, and five 1 putts (this is skewed because I was chipping very well). The longest putt I made was 6 feet. On Sunday on the same greens, I had 29 putts with zero 3 putts, eleven 2 putts and seven 1 putts. The longest putt made was 35 feet. 

The good, the bad, the inbetween (20 out of 20):

This is an extremely solid putter that will work for a lot of golfers. The craftsmanship is absolutely top notch. The guys at T-Squared have been phenomenal to work with. They were quick to get us our putters and answer any questions that have been asked. Also, they have been engaged on the forum answering many of your questions which I think is an awesome model for hopefully more OEMs will follow going forward.

Play it or Trade it (0 out of 20):

I regret to say that I have to rate this a trade it, but I still rate it as a high trade it because of how quality the putter is. The putter is going to be a great putter for others. I'd highly recommend the TS-912 for anyone who really enjoys an extremely muted feel and sound off the face. Also if you tend to miss your putts on the heel more, you should definitely give the T-Squared a try.

Final Score (66 out of 100)

Conclusion (TLDR):

The TS-912 is an awesome weapon for some. I can see why it tested and performed well for others, but ultimately it wasn't for me. The milled face with a dead face is consistent across the face. I would love to see this putter with a little more sound and pop off the face because I love the look and build.

To say that i was surprised to get the chance to test out t squared putters is an understatement.  Thank you MGS and T Squared for giving me this opportunity.  

 

I'm a newly avid golfer, by that i mean that even though I have been playing golf for over 30 years I didn’t really get into it until 2020.  As a kid i might have gotten out two or three times a year, then played High School, then back to once or twice a year until 5 years ago.  Now I play 5 to 6 times a week getting to the course at 5 am so i can play 9 before I go into work then I bring my 4 kids out to play in the afternoon.  Living in the North West of as most classify it as flyover country.  At the time of writing this I am at a 13 handicap, but not what I would generally consider a normal mid handicapper.  I can hang with scratch golfers up to the green I rarely miss a fairway or green in reg but I can’t Putt.  Green reading isn’t the problem if I am reading putts for others and they do what I read they hole their putt.  I just haven’t found the flat stick that works for me yet.  

                (The family all of which are golfers the two oldest are trying out for their schools golf team)

 I have 9 or 10  putters that are in time out because i can't seem to get along with them.  Most have some kind of insert in them and I know that it is my not ever hitting the same spot every time but I can never get the speed control down.  I always seem to leave the putt way short or leave burn marks across the green because i blew it past.  I am looking for a putter that if I miss strike the ball it goes the same distance.  Dispersion is my fault but if I cant trust how fast the ball is going to come off the face it isn’t any good to me.  Everyone loves a good looking putter and if these putters look half as good as they do in the pictures on their website it will be stunning.  That being said to me looks are second to performance, I will put with a rock if i can get the ball to go to it’s home

I chose the ts-912 (tour) in hopes to get the best speed control (no insert) even though T Squared doesn’t use anything other than metal in their inserts I just wanted a straight machined putter face, one less thing to go wrong.  I went with 2 degrees of loft because 99% of the time I'm not going to putt off the green so i don’t need that hop.  

I’m looking forward to keeping you up to date as time progresses.

                                                  First Impressions

 

When it comes to first impressions I want to start off with first thing that I could see “the box”.  Just a plain white box with T Squared taping on it.  For a custom putter I was expecting a little bit more.  Given the Box has nothing to do with the putter but there was no WOW factor on the box.  Upon opening the box I found the putter wrapped in bubble wrap and soft passing at the grip and head of the putter. The Protection was sufficient no damages in shipping just nothing fancy.  Digging deeper in the box I found a Personal letter addressed to me which was a nice touch. Lastly I found a bag with some T Spuared t’s and some ball markers.  For the box and presentation when first getting to open and see the new putter I would give that a 5/10 in WOW factor with the Personalized letter giving it the boost.

I guess that the Box doesn’t need to be that fancy however when the Putter looks as good as it does the Box doesn’t really matter.  

 

(First looks at the putter)

I ordered the TS-912 tour all blacked out from grip all the way down with all the engraving and badging in lime green (I have some Color blindness and Greens are a color that I can see)  It was definitely a WOW at first look.  I do love the badging and the Green on black looks great to my eye.  The neck of the putter is something different that what i am usual to seeing but I have to say that it works. To me the website pictures was a bit strange with the neck but in person it is really appealing to the eyes.

Played two rounds with it yesterday and opening two rounds were great.  Distance lag putts had chances to go in. Distance control was great nothing left way short, or long.  I even used the TX wedge several times (something that I never do) So far not just a wall hanger!

With the crome soft golf ball each putt has almost a dull muted sound when hitting the ball with pace.  In practice hill strikes and middle strikes had almost exactly distance with a toe to toe swing.  Toe strikes did loose several feet of distance which i expected with the toe hang.  I could feel the putter twist in my hands when struck on the the toe ¼ of the face.   But heal and middle strikes felt soft and smooth, but consistent same sound same feel from middle to back.

For protection I got the buffalo plaid head cover, generally I wouldn’t even recognise it because I normally get a better one or make one that will actually protect the face.  But this head is a heaver leather and the stitching is way better than the big names head covers.  With supper thick padding and a magnet that is supper strong.  I doubt that i will ever be going back down the fairway trying to find where it fell off.  Magnet strong enough that from the back side actually stuck to the leg of my bag.

Final Review

 

First Impressions

Scoring 8.5/10 

As the First impressions go the T Squared TS-912 tour is beautiful as I said in the opening that the boxing was underwhelming with just a plain box.  But the TS-912 all blacked out with green paint to me looks great, the neck wasn’t the fan of kind of awkward looking in the pictures but in person it isn’t ugly and actually like it.  But I have to say which is weird for a putter review the most impressive thing in my first impressions was the head cover there was great attention to detail.  Not junky material actually thick padding, sturdy leather and good stitching with a strong magnet wont lose it by it falling off.   Not going to lie I deducted 1 point because of presentation, if I was to spend that much money on a putter ( some may say that im cheep) but I would have expected more.

The head weight was unexpected it is way heaver than I was expecting.  Not that it is uncomfortable weight but everyone that has tried it out with me first commit that they have all said is they can really feel the head weight.   

 The metrics we were asked to look at

Describe how the club sounds and feels

Sound: dull thud, It almost sounds like flicking a thick book with your knuckle not an offensive sound but there is an audible thud.  That is not the exact sound but that is the closest sound i could find

How does it feel: compared to my spider it does feel a lot harder with the solid face compared to the insert 

Across the face:  (mis-hits) Close to center mis-hits not much loss in distance or sound. Not that my game needs me to try the extremes especially when it comes to the “Flat Stick” but I did intentionally play a round putting out of the toe and another out of heal.  Playing as 3rd’s ( toe ⅓ , middle ⅓, heal ⅓  )Out of the toe there is definitely a higher pitch with about a 15% loss in distance. Out of the Heal not much of a loss or much sound difference.  I would guess because of the slight Toe hang that I got with the middle length neck that the club doesn't come off of path with a heal strike like it does with the toe.  

Feel / Sound Performance.  I actually do not mind a harder feel I like it and knowing that unless i go to the extremes that there will not be much of a loss if any if I am close to the middle adds a layer of confidence that I didn’t have with my Spider.  The sound doesn’t effect me I even like the thud I hate the high pitch of some putters that this doesn’t have.

The Numbers (9.5 out of 10)

Accuracy: Unless you go to the extreme toe I always knew as soon as the ball left the face where it was going to go.  I could tell it was my fault too slow, too fast, push or pull.  The greatest thing about the weight of the head is you always know where it is.  

Distance / Stability of Stroke: I have to say that changing the way you putt in the last two weeks of reviewing a putter isn’t probably the best, but I changed from a neutral sweep to a forward press delofting the putter even more than it was.  I ordered the TS-912 with a 2 degree loft but with the forward press I changed the strike angle to 0 or even a Negative launch angle.  The course that i play most of the time 20 of the greens are really slow and the other 7 are quite a bit faster.  It felt that i was having to make way too long of a swing to putt before delofting the putter the more i got used to it. With my putting stroke it has seemed to make me more accurate with distance. 

Forgiveness: As i have already stated in the accuracy, slight miss hits are fine and the weight of the head allows you to know if you pushed it off line or pulled it off line. As long as you stay out of the extreme toe and you will know that you were in the toe, the forgiveness is just fine.  

Control:  What ever line I started on was the line I was going to hit (Not always the correct line) but was able to confidently know where the ball was going. If I didn’t line up the putt though I always seemed to miss low also when I would feel me pushing or pulling the putt. Now that may be the way that I stand over the putter and try to look it down and second guessing as i was swinging

Playability:  To me putters are meant for the green only.  I don’t usually TX wedge, or even fringe putt so I don’t really have anything to compare to, but I did try to get it out there.  To me it seemed that I had to swing way too hard to outside of the green I can’t blame the club with the crass off the green not rolling where i was meaning to hit it.  With my lack of experience of the TX wedge I would still say that it is repeatable with more practice I didn’t miss hit the center even though the swing seemed to be way too hard if practiced.

 

On-Course (19 out of 20)

To say the words confident is always a stretch when it comes to putting for me, but I am almost there.  The design and feel is definitely there the way that it feels and the same feel all the way down the face, not being hard in one spot and soft in another playability is definitely there.  To say that it helped my score isnt saying much i was so yeppie with my other putter because i was never sure if it was going to go long or short because if i miss hit my old putter i never knew where it was going to go.  The only thing that I would change is the Quality of the paint the in and out of my bag laying 6 days out of the week has scratched up the shaft, but other than that there is nothing that I would change.

Play it or Trade it? (20 out of 20)

I don't think that there is a Question 100% staying in the bag for now and I only say for now because the kids are already talking about stealing it from me.  Also i tend to change very often on putters, but i dont see going back to any of my others any time soon for sure.

Who Is Peter Lacasse?

As I approach the penultimate magic age for retirement in June (63) I am understanding my likes and dislikes as they become more obvious. Though they have changed mostly over the past 15 – 20 years, I feel that I avoid or completely stay away from my dislikes. I enjoy being with my wife, my family, friends, reading, golf, gardening, and making food. I am a trained Chef (Johnson and Wales 1981) working in and around the Boston area as an Executive Chef for 8 years. After 32 years as a Culinary Arts Teacher / Track and Field Coach and whatever coach the children needed me to be. I retired from teaching and coaching in June 2020. I am back coaching spring track the past two years and plan to continue.

 "HOME"

I was born in Massachusetts and still live here. My wife of almost 40 years Kelly, totally out of my league, is a major contributor in who I am and keeping me focused on what is important. We bought our first house in Bellingham over 35 years ago and still love it here “HOME”, where we raised our 4 adult children, Candice 39, Mark 35, Jason 31 and Sean 29. Three are married with children, 9 grandchildren.

I have played golf since age 16, mostly playing 2-5 times a year for as much fun as a competitor can have only playing 2-5 times a year! A 105 average (low 93 Lucky day) and a high of 132 with an eagle from 165. Over the past 5 years I have played more often, and since 2020, have taken a more competitive approach, playing 20-27 rounds a year (once a week). Overall, my average score now is 96 (20 index) with a low of 85 (broke 90 7 times in the past 3 years 5 in 23 and 1 this year). I do play my best at Maplegate, my home course, until next year when it becomes a solar farm UGH!

Each year I try to play 1-2 great courses in New England with my son Mark, and brothers in law (Mark’s and my punch list courses).  Last year we played the Ranch in Westfield and Sunday River in ME. The plan is to play Belgrade Lakes this year.

My driving and Iron play has gotten so much better over the last 4 years, wedge play last year and hope to trim some putting strokes this year. I attribute my better play to playing more golf and confidence in the equipment I use. That is why I am so excited to test the T-Squared T-s912 Mid-Mallet Tour. I like the look of black clubs, so I am going with an all-black head, Hosel, shaft and oversized black grip. Because I am so inconsistent with my putting stroke my hope is that the T-squared will help forgive the miss hits, giving a more consistent roll. I am also looking for a better feel and balance than my Gamer putter.

 

 LETTTTS GOOOOOO!

FINAL REVIEW: TS-912 TOUR 8/1/24

First Impressions: 

19/20

My first impression when taking the T-S912 mid-mallet tour putter out of the box was that it felt heavy. Though only 3 oz. more than my Gamer blade it seemed substantially heaver. The head itself is a .5" shorter than my gamer and the shaft is 2" shorter (on purpose because I choked up on the 35" shaft), so I was  surprised at noticing the weight difference. the plumbers neck is also twice as long.

My next thought was how "HOT" the all black looked! In addition the single line guide looked like it was closer to the hosel, not centered when lining up on the ball, and wasn't sure how that would work for me. The Cover is awesome! Buffalo Plaid and the soft plush interior has a powerful magnet to keep it on.

 

 

Instead of going to a practice green I went cold turkey and put it in my bag and removed the Top-Flite blade. I felt that to get a true impression, just playing was the way to go! My first round went well. 33 putts total (my previous 4 rounds were all 38-41). Five 1 putts and two 3putts. The ball seemed to roll well off the face with really good distance control. Only missed one 5' or less and drained a 12'. 

 

Though my initial thought of the offset alignment really wasn't an issue after the first couple of putts, and the extra head weight seems to help me with the control of the putting plane and tendency to pull or push. 

Right now, I love the look, all matte black with soft edges, though the RED grip would look awesome also! I have played two rounds with different people; they all loved the look are interested in giving it a try.

Aesthetics: 10/10

The T-Squared TS-912 is visually well put together. With the many options available I went with ALL Black, head, shaft, long plumbers neck and grip. I love the matt finish and the soft edges. The white contrast writing is readable but not overbearing. The Buffalo logo is spot on with the “CRAFTED IN THE USA” theme. A couple golf buddies said it is a sexy putter! The weight and overall feel give the impression of craftsmanship at its best. The head cover is just another example of attention to detail. Leather, well sawn, plush soft interior with a strong magnet to keep it closed around the club and the Buffalo Plaid has caught everyone’s eye.

At first the head weight of the TS-912 caught me by surprise, but I soon found out that it seemed to smooth out my stroke with less effort. The club feels soft and consistent across the face. Even slight miss hits feel and sound like sweet contact and react off the face in a similar way. Face contact sounds like a muted click, but not offensive and helps me to know that there was good contact.  

The Numbers: (9/10)

I find the T-Squared putter to be accurate, giving me the ability, in most instances to place the ball where I want. My usual aim is to a spot on the green and use it as my line. With my Gamer I tend to push or pull often especially on shorter putts making me struggle putting the ball to a spot. The long plumbers neck and face balance helps to keep the contact area square for more consistent control. It definitely is more forgiving when not dead on the contact line. Toe and heel contacts do have a straighter roll than I would expect, though toe hits lose some distance, and slightly missed contact resemble perfect hits in line and speed. The TS-912 mid mallet tour is definitely easier to gauge and control speeds with slight differences in pace.

I always have a hard time going to a course and just practice putting. I find it difficult to simulate true game situations. So my numbers are comparing game results with the Gamer and the TS-912. 7 consecutive rounds for each putter. To me the results are pretty telling.

On-Course (19/20)

The overall feel of the putter is tremendous. The feeling of balance and stability has been really helpful to me on the course, especially on pressure putts inside 8’. My confidence in those shorter putts really translate into a better stroke increasing my chance of making them. I have had very few terrible misses from that distance and far less than my Gamer. I also find that 20’ -30+’ putts have been much better because of the greater distance control with the perimeter weight keeping the face square for more consistent sweet contact. The extra head weight lends to better pace control so not to over swing when needing more speed on longer putts.

On one day in particular, at Pointe sebago, my nephew videoed my putts from various distances, and I drained some really nice putts from 8’, 12’ and18’, while leaving some longer putts tap in close.

1 putt for par

Just missed right 2' by for 2 putt bogie

1 putt for birdie

1 putt for birdie

When this test came up I had never heard of T-Squared putters. Since the testing has started I have been impressed with the overall construction and playability of the TS-912 tour. The overall performance has been better than I had hoped for, leaving fewer putts outside the cup.

 

The Good, The Bad, The in between (19/20)

In the beginning the slightly off-center sight line was different and hard to line up. I always think CENTER when addressing a ball. Once I trusted the white line results started to happen. The company seems interested in customer service as it was nice to receive a thank you letter, and care package of tees/ball markers with the club. It was also cool to have a representative comment on our posts along with reactions during the test. It is so nice to see a small, direct to consumer company, that makes quality clubs and a bonus of “MADE in the USA”.

I am not an equipment junkie and was not familiar with all the options to choose from in putters. It would have been helpful for a basic fitting questionnaire to guide customers to appropriate custom builds, so you need to do your homework before building. I am glad that I spent a couple hours testing various putters and styles before ordering. The T-Square site was helpful in explaining the technology they put into the club and the customization and design choices are great.

Play it or Trade it? (20/20)

I had a plan to look at putters this summer because the Gamer was just not doing what I wanted. I needed to give too much effort for long putts and I pushed and pulled often on shorter ones. In the past I would never spend $450.00 on a putter, or any club for that matter, for two reasons. One couldn't afford it and justify the cost.  After testing many putters, I found that similar milled putters are in that same price range, so it is not overpriced, but would really have to consider it now because of the difference it had made and is truly worth it.

This putter would fit any type of golfer but anyone who struggles with control and pace would benefit from using it.

I feel the 912 Tour has really helped to make me a more confident and better putter. I don’t play in big money tournaments, but I will definitely be using it in the yearly Casco Fiasco 2 day (sometimes 3) Ryder Cup tourney Mass holes’ vs Connecticut at Point Sebago in ME. Needless to say that it is staying in the bag for the foreseen future.

Conclusion:  

. I feel that the TS-912 mid mallet tour helps me with a smoother stroke, needing a less aggressive motion on longer putts. I find the T-Squared putter to be accurate, giving me the ability, in most instances to place the ball where I want. The overall feel of the putter is tremendous. The feeling of balance and stability has been really helpful to me on the course, especially on pressure putts inside 8’.

When matching 14 rounds between TS-912 tour 7 and gamer 7, my overall average putts dropped from 37 to 34.28. In addition, over those rounds I had 3 more 1 putts, but the biggest difference was 9 less 3putts and 4 less 4 putts. This demonstrates that there are far fewer bad attempts.

This putter would fit any type of golfer but anyone who struggles with control and pace would benefit from using it. Though the cost is high it definitely isn’t overpriced

At the beginning of the test my index was 20.4 and right now it is 17.4, a direct correlation with drop in putts per 18.

The T-Squared TS-912 Tour is a sexy putter that is user friendly and has put me in a better mental putting place!

Thank you T-Squared and MGS

Final Score: (95/100)

Played Bridgeton Highland CC today. Not a steaight putt anywhere. Tough judging speed with wet greens and then again after 8 when they dried out. 35 putts 4 ones and 3 threes.

Hello all! I am super happy to be selected to test T Squared Putters and would like to thank them, as well as MyGolfSpy for the opportunity.

I have lived in Birch Hills, Saskatchewan, Canada most of my life.  We call it God's country.  In the middle of summer you can golf from 5am, to 10pm at night.  And have around 20 mint courses within' 1-1/2 hours.  In Sask we actually have the most courses per capita in the world!!

I started golfing very young, and golfed up till I was around 15 when I discovered girls, and booze.  Twenty years later I bought my first set of clubs.  But it wasn't until I was around 36 before I really took it seriously.  Now I golf almost daily out on the course or on my simulator in my house.  FYI I'm 49 turning 50 in June.

Now I go on multiple golf trips a year, and try golf as many of the beautiful courses my province has to offer.  With at least one trip to Palm Springs every winter.  Some pictures of some of my favorite courses which may be part of the test.

So I will be testing the TS-912 (TOUR) Balance face, with the Flat Cat Solutions (weighted) grip.  I putt left hand low, and my strategy on my long game is to go for everything.  So hopefully am getting more putts in, in a round.  Last year was my best year ever, and hope to continue that to this year.

I rarely 3 putt, but when I do it's usually more than once in the round.  Which is usually due to distance control. I have the ability to roll the ball straight with a line on my ball.  What I'm looking for is making more 10' putts, confidence on longer putts to leave it close, and hopefully less 3 putts.  I plan on comparing this with my Evnroll ER2 which has been fairly good to me.  I have taken Aimpoint express so I know how to read greens fairly well.

I generally go to the range at lunch with 2 days on the practice green, where I will do lots of the comparisons.  I also golf quite a bit on my sim, so I will be testing straightness and speed on there potentially.  But mostly will be on course, as I said I play almost daily.

What I know about this product is basically the MyGolfSpy most wanted where this putter made 3rd place, so I'm expecting it to be a premiere putter in my bag for the future.

For it to make it into my bag permanently, it will have to outperform the ER2 from around 10' as I have that putt lots during a round.  This could be exactly what I need!  We will see.

I did my un boxing, and found a letter from T-Squared, some tee's and ball marks.  It was packaged great.  Took me a little top get into the box.

Seeing the putter for the first time was exciting.  When I picked it up, the first thing I noticed was the weight.  It was substantially heavier than my Evnroll ER2.  I took off the Black Buffalo headcover, and was instantly in awe.  What a beautiful putter!

 

I will be testing the TS-912 in matte silver with red paint fill, a black backplate, and a black sightline.  I got the toe hang for balance with the short plumbers neck in black, as well as a black shaft at 34".  The club lie is 70 degrees and the club loft is 4 degrees.

For the grip it is an absolutely beautiful Flat Cat Solutions (Weighted).  I got weighted to counter balance it a bit as the head is heavier than my ER2.  It feels right, so far.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So directly after unboxing I fired up my Sim and loaded GSPro, and hit 3 putts.  I noticed a very different feeling off the clubface than I'm used to,  it felt more like my Ping Ketsch Mallet than my ER2 blade. I loved the feel.  The very first putt I hit was perfectly straight 0 HLA, the second was a .2 HLA push, and the third was a .4 HLA push.  Which is already quite straight.  Very impressed.  I made all 3 putts.

 

 

above is pictured in comparison to my ER2, it is barely wider, but quite a bit heavier.  And pictured ready for a round of golf.  It looks sexy in my bag for sure.  I'm really looking forward to testing this on the course!

 

FINAL REVIEW TS-912

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

10/10 This putter is beautiful.  The sexiest putter I've owned.  From the beautiful head/shaft combo.  It just looks right when you are using it.  I was really surprised about the weight when I first picked it up.  Felt somewhere between, my ER2 blade, and my Ping Kaetch mallet. Mid-Mallet is the correct description for this putter.

SOUND/FEEL:

9/10 the ball feels like it springs off of the face, and not in a bad way.  The sound is a dull muted one.  The feel is great, I know immediately before looking up if I had a good stroke or not by the feel.  If you have a good stroke, the feel is the same.  If you happen to hit one with crappy tempo, or wristy, or just a bad stoke it seems to spring off the face more.

ACCURACY:

9/10  So I wake up a different person everyday it seems.  Somedays putting is like Xbox golf, I can see the line, and just made some unbelievable putts with the TS-912.  Other days I'm clueless where to aim.  That being said, I putt with the line, and it's a breeze getting it to roll end over end.

As for 3 putts, that's more on me than the putter.  Days I three putt, I will do it more than once that round.  Seemingly fewer days with this putter!

The TS-912 narrowly beat out the ER2, by .2 less putts per round.

When I'm on, I don't miss short putts, and I have lots of confidence with the TS-912 knowing it will go where I aimed it.  This putter is a weapon when I'm on.

DISTANCE/STABILITY:

8.5/10  When I show up at the course I will go to the putting green to calibrate the speed (they cut this green the same, and the same time as the others).  I will start with 3 at 15', then 3 at 30'.  It will show me if they are running fast or slow.  As I have a base putt for those distances at 10 stimp, then adjust from the results. 

The TS-912 is the best putter I've owned from 15' and in.  The only place where my Evnroll ER2 beat out the TS-912 was for 75-100' putts, but not by much.

If your putting stroke is smooth, and consistent this putter is money, it just does what you want.  But take the smooth stoke out of the equation, and if you stab at it at all, the ball springs off the face and distance control can be an issue on the longer putts.  I got my friend who uses lots of wrist action in his putting stoke, and he had a rough time with this putter over 30'.

As for stability, this is way ahead of the ER2.  Especially with the weighted grip.  It's like cheating.

FORGIVENESS:

8.5/10  Very forgiving putter.  But the ER2 edges this putter out slightly on toe, and heel hits for distance and aim adjustments, but due to the stability of this putter, off center hits were not an issue.  Except for 75-100' putts I noticed a few more not center strikes, where the ER2 seems to be better for line and distance slightly.  On 15' putts it still goes almost 15' on toe, and heel strikes, so distance forgiveness is good.

CONTROL:

9.5/10  When I'm putting well I assume I will make everything inside 10'.  Like I said before, with a good putting stroke this putter is money!  With a bad stroke it can have some funny distances.

I seem to be able to roll the line on the ball end over end easily up until 40' putts.  Being I putt left hand low, it just exposed how I needed to work on a more fluid stroke on the long ones.  Which I have done.

And when I play on my simulator, it is a breeze to play.  Consistent ballspeeds are easy with the TS-912!

PLAYABILITY:

9.5/10  I use this putter everywhere.  Recently I've hit a few that were around 30' from the green in the fairway.  The math just works on this putter.  If its 10' to the green on the fairway, and 10' to the pin from the edge of the green, I just double the distance on the fairway, so it would be a 30' putt.  And adjust accordingly for fairway length, and up/down hill.  The weigh of the putter gives me so much confidence using it from the fairway.  Here it handily beats out the ER2 evnroll which seems too light for that application.  Hit the center of the face and the TS-912 does what you want it too!

EXTRAS:

A few things of note,  the ball scooper thingie is not as good as the ER2 but is ok.

Also if you putt with a line on your ball.  I always find my line, line up the ball, place it, then hold up my putter shaft and look at it through my dominant eye, and see if the line on the ball is on the correct target line.  This is the best putter I've found for that.  The ER2 is too light and hard to hold stable while looking at the line.

Lastly, the back edge can be used to get out of tough situations.  Rather than trying to hit a iron upside down or something similar.

PLAY IT OR TRADE IT?

This is a 100% play it in my opinion.  It checks all the boxes off for me.  But the biggest one is making more putts at the 10-15' range.  I seem to be making more birdies, less three putts, less chipping (as it works great as a texas wedge).

Even on bad, shakey days, it is easy to putt straight.

And being the sexiest putter I've owned doesn't hurt too.

I would recommend this putter to people of all skill levels.  Especially those with a smooth putting stoke, it is bound to improve your game.

 

Thanks to T-Squared putters and MYgolfspy for this opportunity to test this wonderful and beautiful putter!  It will be in my bag for sure.

Hot off their impressive performance in MyGolfSpy Most Wanted testing, we are excited to bring T Squared putters to our member testing platform. The T Squared TS-912 finished third overall and was the best putter from 10 feet. Considering there were 39 putters tested this year, that is impressive. However, the story of how the brand was created and founded blows that out of the water.
About T Squared

I would love to tell the full story here but our own John Barba has already done this must-read article on T Squared which you can read HERE. Instead, I will give you the shorter version. T Squared was created by Tony Tuber in 2018 who, at the time, was just 17 years old.

The company now offers nine putter models, all hand-built and with different customization options. Several of the T Squared models have different finishes, neck options and shaft colors to go along with standard customization options such as dexterity, shaft length and lie angle.

Please welcome and congratulate our testers!

Congrats testers! will be looking forward to hearing about your experiences with these putters.

[Paul Hedrick]

Previously I have learned a lot by following a test; something I might like to get for myself and something I may avoid.  This is something I will follow closely as the testers begin their reviews.
