Tour Edge Template Biarritz Silver Putter

• Description

Who’s It For?

Introducing the new Template Series putters by Tour Edge, which consists of five new designs and three modified shapes. These putters feature a new, softer 304 stainless steel and Micro-Groove Face Technology that help golfers roll the ball cleaner and truer. Of note, there are a wide variety of head shapes and neck types in the Tour Edge Template series, so we encourage you to work with a fitter to identify the Template putter best for your stroke.

The Tech Story

The Tour Edge Template putters are powered by Micro-Groove Face Technology, which features micro grooves that are 20 percent deeper and wider than the previous generation. This creates improved topspin while softening the feel. Meanwhile, the Template putters are made from a softer 304 stainless steel – the softest stainless steel available in putter design. It provides a pleasing feel and exceptional feedback at impact. The 304 stainless steel on the Silver PVD finish bead blasted to eliminate glare, while the new offerings of Black PVD offer a sleek matte look and feel. In total, there are eight head shapes available in the Template Series: Alps, Biarritz, Eden, Maiden, Narrows CS, Narrows, Punchbowl, and Valley. With a combination of blades, mid-mallets, and mallets between the eight models, every shape was designed with

optimized Center of Gravity and Moment of Inertia properties, while suiting every player preference and need.

What is a template hole?

For those of us not familiar with the elements of golf course design, a template hole is an iconic hole design that is often incorporated into new courses. Writing that out, it makes sense. Imagine that you had a plastic template for drawing circles. With that template, you could draw the same circle over and over, wherever you wished to draw it.

The template concept gets tweaked a bit when you talk about golf holes. Unlike the circle example above, the golf hole still needs to fit into the landscape. As such, the original template must be modified for a specific course while maintaining the key elements of the original template. The most famous template hole is likely the Road Hole at St Andrews. Versions of the Road Hole exist at other courses, modified as needed for the location.

After learning this, I couldn’t help but wonder if I’ve played on any of these template holes. There are more than 20 of them, after all. As it turns out, I played a whole bunch of template holes when I played the Old Macdonald course at Bandon Dunes.

Appropriately, that course was named after and designed to honor Charles Blair Macdonald, the course architect who brought inspiration from iconic holes from around the world to his design of the Chicago Golf Club in 1896.

OK, enough history. I’m starting to sound like Barba . Back to the putters.

The Tour Edge Template Putter Template

Having the putter names represent iconic golf hole designs is a cool idea but what about the designs of the actual putters? The Tour Edge Template Series putters feature the following design elements.

Specifications: Tour Edge Template Series Putters

• Material: 304 stainless steel
• Construction: Cast, then the faces are CNC-milled
• Finish: Black PVD or silver PVD
• Heads: Seven (Narrows also comes center-shafted)
• Lengths: 34”/35”
• Alignment: Contrast Technology Alignment aid
• Lefties: Eden and Narrows
• Grip: Lamkin Deep Etched Pistol
• MSRP: $129.99

Tour Edge Template Putter Technologies

Though the Tour Edge Template Series putters come in at the lower end of the putter price range, that does not mean they don’t include some helpful technologies. The first is their Contrast Technology Alignment aid. At the center of all of the Template putters you will find a white aiming line surrounded by a black background. Tour Edge says this design helps increase contrast between the putter and the green, allowing the golfer to aim more accurately

Tour Edge Template Series putters also feature Tour Edge’s Micro-Groove face milling. This new milling is 20-percent deeper and wider than previous Template models and should, when combined with the 304 stainless steel construction, make the impact feeling softer.

All of the Tour Edge Template putters will be available in black and silver versions. That’s not really a “technology”, but the alignment scheme definitely looks different on the two colors. You may find one is more suited to your eye than the other.

Tour Edge Template Series Putter Models

Longer wings on the Alps make it a conventional mallet putter with a higher MOI, while the double bend hosel provides greater accuracy for a pendulum straight back and through stroke. Face balanced stability with less twisting in the face is the calling card of this design.

Original Template Hole: Prestwick (Hole #17)

Notables : Fishers Island (Hole #4), National Golf Links of America (Hole #3), Gibson Island (Hole#4) The Greenbrier- Old White (Hole#13), Yale (Hole #12)

The Alps is the long-fanged model in the Template series. As with all fang designs, the positioning of the material at the edge of the putter head helps boost MOI. Tour Edge’s interpretation is interesting in that the fangs are very flat. This positions the center of gravity very low to the ground. This should also help improve stability.

The high MOI mallet design of the Biarritz provides extreme forgiveness, while the double bend face-balanced hosel is designed for a pendulum straight back, straight through putting stroke due to the face of the putter rotating less during the putting stroke.

Original Template Hole: Golf de Biarritz (Hole #3)

Notables: Chicago GC – (Hole #8), Camargo (Hole #13), Mid Ocean Club (Hole #13), Fox Chapel (Hole #13)

The Template Series Biarritz reminds me of the old Rife Barbados. Obviously, it is not exactly the same shape but the designs share elements. Of the three putters I was able to review, the Biarritz was easily the most stable. Pretty accurate, too. Though round, the long central alignment channel provides excellent linear aiming assistance.

I also found the Biarritz to be the most balanced feeling of the models I tested. This was a little surprising as it was significantly bulkier than the other two. Regardless, I would give this one a Must Try rating for players who like traditional-feeling larger mallets.

The lone blade putter in the series, the Eden features a classic design with a plumber’s neck that suits players with an arc-straight stroke.  

Original Template Hole: Old Course at St. Andrews (Hole #11)

Notables: Fishers Island Club (Hole #11), Essex County CC (Hole #11, Camargo Club (Hole #5), St. Louis CC (Hole #3), Old Macdonald (Hole #2)

The Tour Edge Template Series Eden is the classic “Anser” blade in the bunch. It’s a heel-toe weighted blade. You know lots about this design and probably know if this is the head for you. Reasons to give Tour Edge’s version a shot are threefold: feel, alignment system and price.

The mid-mallet design features a forgiving plumber’s neck hosel that helps players square up the putter face. It matches extremely well with an arc-straight style stroke and is suited for a player who tends to leave their putter face open at impact.

Original Template Hole: Royal St. George’s Golf Club (Hole #6)

Notables: Essex County CC (Hole #12), Southampton Golf Club (Hole #3), CC of Charleston (Hole #7), Yeamans Hall Club (Hole #11)

The Tour Edge Template Series Maiden was the one that initially caught my eye. It piqued my curiosity. I want to get one in my hands so I can truly know its size. I see it is a wide blade but it is a little difficult to estimate the dimensions from the stock photos. Is it compact, like a deck of cards, or massive like a skateboard deck? All in all, it’s cool to see such an interesting head in a putter line that costs $130.

A winged mid-mallet design that features a slant neck with a mid-toe hang that is ideal for a putting stroke with a slight arc, where the closing angle on the forward stroke is moderate and compensates against hitting pulls as your hands will naturally be set up in front of the ball. 

The winged mid-mallet design is coupled with a center shaft in the Narrows CS model that creates an alignment-oriented face-balanced putter suited for players who keeps their eyes directly above the ball and takes the club straight back and swings straight through the ball. 

Original Template Hole: Muirfield (Hole #15)

Notables: National Golf Links of America (Hole# 15), Metairie Country Club (Hole #6), Forsgate Country Club (Hole #2)

The Tour Edge Template Narrows is the budget-friendly version of PING’s Prime Tyne 4. Both feature squared-off, flat rear wings and slant necks. I actually had the same thought with the Narrows that I had with the Prime Tyne 4: “This is the putter I want to  putt with.” Unfortunately, like the Prime Tyne 4, the Narrows does not suit my eye or stroke. That’s too bad because I love its looks.

A rounded full mallet with a forgiveness- and accuracy-enhancing high MOI and plumber’s neck hosel, an ideal choice for arc-straight style strokes that tend to push putts to the right for a right-handed golfer.

Original Template Holes: Royal Liverpool – Hoylake (Hole #9) and Royal Cinque Ports (Hole #3)

Notables: National Golf Links of America (Hole #16), Creek Club – (Hole #6), Chicago GC (Hole #12), Sleepy Hollow (Hole #15), Streamsong Black (Hole # 9)

Initially, I assumed this putter was named after the Punchbowl at Bandon Dunes, possibly my favorite place on Earth. There have been trips there where I was willing to skip the afternoon 18 just to spend more time putting at The Punchbowl. Nope, the putter is named after the Punchbowl template hole. (The Punchbowl at Bandon is probably named after the template now that I think about it.)

Jon Rahm would dig the Template Punchbowl. It’s a small rounded mallet with a short flow neck. This putter will gate open and closed as you swing the club. For some of you with stronger arcs, it should mesh nicely with your natural stroke.

Original Template Hole: National Golf Links of America (Hole #1)

Notables: Mid Ocean (Hole #8), Blue Mound Golf and CC (Hole #6), Friar’s Head (Hole #1)

The Valley is another interesting head design. A mid-mallet with a plumber’s neck would be noteworthy but Tour Edge also made the plumber’s neck a slant version. Not to keep focusing on the price of these but can you imagine what a mid-slant plumber’s neck half-mallet would cost you if it came from Cameron or Bettinardi?

I use those two companies as examples because that is who I would expect to make this head, not Tour Edge. I’d also expect it to be “Tour Only”, not something you’d find at retail.

Final Thoughts on the 2023 Tour Edge Template Signature Putter Line

Bang for your buck, the Tour Edge Template Series putters are solid. Ignoring the price, they check off a lot of boxes. They feel good, have helpful putting technologies and have a mixture of classic and exotic head shapes. No, they are not fully milled. We can see that they are cast in the photos. The post-casting face milling does its job, though. These feel much softer than a purely cast putter.

It’s worth noting that the Tour Edge Template Series putters all come with a Tour Edge-branded Lamkin Deep Etched Pistol putter grip. This is the same grip on much more expensive putters. The headcover quality is on the lower end but getting a headcover at this price point is a plus.

If you are in the market for a new putter and don’t want to spend a bunch of money, go roll the Tour Edge Template Series putters.

FAQ: Tour Edge Template Series Putter Line

The MSRP for the Tour Edge Template Series line putters is $129.99. Should be in retail shops on Nov. 1.

These putters are not fully milled. Initially, the putters are cast into molds. Next, the Micro-Groove face grooves are milled. As I said, the new grooves are 20-percent deeper than the previous Template putters. Tour Edge reports that this new groove depth provides a soft feel and  improves top spin and accuracy.

Not at all. While many associate Tour Edge with their exceptional woods and hybrids, they have also been making putters for quite some time. Last year, they released the Wingman 700 mallets, for example. I remember the Exotics David Glod Tour Proto milled putters from a decade ago (or more) being excellent milled putters at a very competitive price.

Duh. First, I am going to research all of the holes, committing the designs to memory. After some vigorous self-quizzing, I will be searching high and low for Punchbowls, Redans and Hog’s Backs.

Tour Edge Biarritz Template Putter Finishes 3rd, Tour Edge Staffer Tom Lehman 5th at Pebble Beach PGA Tour Champions Event

A professional golfer playing a Tour Edge PureFeel Template series putter finished in 3rd place this week at the PURE Insurance Championship, held at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

The multiple Major Champion on the PGA Tour Champions put the Tour Edge Template Biarritz putter into play last week for the first time and finished 7th. His 3rd place finish with the putter this week earned him $151,200.

Tour Edge staff player Tom Lehman finished 5th this week at Pebble Beach after shooting rounds of 67-73-69 to finish at 6-under-par for the event.

The two Top 10 finishes gave Tour Edge clubs their 100th Top 10 finish on the three PGA Tours over the past 20 months.

All four Tour Edge staff players finished in Top 25 at the PURE Insurance Championship. Scott McCarron ranks 1st in the Charles Schwab money standings and now has a $478,680 lead, while Lehman ranks 15th, Tim Petrovic 21st and Duffy Waldorf ranks 31st with four events left in the 2019 PGA Tour Champions season.

In the last three weeks, Tour Edge has been in play for 15 Top 25 finishes and has experienced a wide array of their products in play, including drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, iron-woods and putters.

Tour Edge has surpassed 600 clubs in play on the three PGA Tours over the last 20 months. In that time, they have earned 58 Top 5’s, 100 Top 10’s and 190 Top 25’s in the bags of over 80 different professionals.

Tour Edge Pure Feel Template Series Putter

Description.

The new Template series includes two mallet designs, three blade designs and a semi-mallet, all featuring micro-groove technology to promote immediate topspin for an accurate roll. The micro-groove technology provides an extremely soft feel upon contact and reduces skidding off the face, which is the essence of “Pure Feel” technology that Tour Edge has long employed on its putters and wedges. 

The Pure Feel Template putters feature the classic designs forged with modern innovations that will help any golfer improve their scoring. With that in mind, Tour Edge Master Club Designer David Glod set out to bring out six models of new shapes that are based on some of the best known putter designs of all time.   These classic designs have long been used as a guide to manufacturing new putters with updated technology featuring a classic look. The New Template Series models include: Mallets:  Alps, Biarritz (RH and LH available), Road Blades:  Cape, Eden (RH and LH available) Semi-Mallet:  Redan

The Pure Feel Template series utilizes 304-Stainless Steel with bead blasted top-line and flange to eliminate glare and a CNC milled micro-groove face that results in a finely balanced putter with a soft, consistent feel.

The oversized PureFeel TAC grip is a jumbo grip that prevents the golfer’s wrists from breaking down during the putting motion. This minimizes grip pressure and head rotation for a softer touch and purer putting stroke.

The grip utilizes a never-before manufactured thermal plastic that is born from a special process called Thermal Plastic Suspension Polymerization, or T.P.S.P .   The T.P.S.P. manufacturing process uses mechanical agitation to mix a monomer with a liquid, forcing the monomer to polymerize and form perfectly aligned spheres of polymer.  

A sleek, black Contrast Technology Alignment aide is featured on each putter design. All six putters have a 71-degree lie and a 3-degree loft. Optic Technology increases the contrast between the putter and green, helping golfers focus on the leading edge for an accurate aim.

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.
