Fat Lady Swings

The MacGregor Fat Lady Swings shipped in 1994, a mallet head that putterzone.com credits to designer Bobby Grace, describing it as hand-milled in his garage. Putterzone.com also ties the putter to one of the more memorable moments in the era's competitive record, reporting that it helped Nick Price win the 1994 PGA Championship by a record six shots. Thegolfwire.com places it as part of MacGregor's full line of Bobby Grace putters, situating this head within a broader run of Grace designs carried by the maker rather than as a standalone release.

Community opinion on the Fat Lady Swings leans favorable. One general note praises it for combining blade and mallet traits along with good feel and good weight, and a golfreview.com reviewer echoes that same read almost point for point: Great putter!!! Blade and Mallet traits in one. I love the feel and weight and it is very accurate. I couldn't be happier with this putter. Both accounts settle on the same idea, that this head reads as a hybrid rather than a pure blade or pure mallet, though neither goes much further than praise into specifics of how that hybrid geometry plays.

Nothing here separates this 1994 release from other heads in MacGregor's Bobby Grace line beyond what thegolfwire.com states, that it belongs to that fuller run. Readers weighing the Fat Lady Swings against its siblings in that line will want to look at the individual entries for those putters directly, since the record on this page speaks only to this head, its reported designer, its garage-milled origin, and the major win putterzone.com attaches to it.
