Scottsdale TR Craz-E

The 2014 Scottsdale TR Craz-E is a mid-mallet, high-MOI head built around Ping's TR, or True Roll, face technology, according to golfalot.com. That face carries variable-depth grooves, shallower near the toe and heel and deeper through the middle, a design golfalot.com reports was tied to a claim of increasing ball-speed consistency by nearly 50% when measured across nine points on the face. Golfalot.com also attributes the design to Ping's John Solheim. The putter shipped in a black finish with a white alignment line on the rear of the head, a black corded midsize Golf Pride grip, and golfalot.com lists a head weight of 365 grams and a choice of three hosel designs to suit a straight, slight arc, or strong arc stroke.

Golfalot.com also reviewed the adjustable-shaft version, a telescoping shaft loosened by wrench that can be set from 31 to 38 inches and rotated to open or close the face slightly, and used it at 36.5 inches for that review. Fixed-length models were available at 35 inches. Golfalot.com priced the putter at £150.

Community opinion on the Craz-E cites consistent feel across toe and heel strikes and impressive distance control on mid and long putts, with the head described as stable. The same commentary flags the adjustable shaft as adding weight near the hands, a point golfalot.com's own reporting echoes in noting that the longer shaft and adjustment collar shift weight nearer the grip end, and it notes the shape may not suit every eye. Golfalot.com's own verdict on the putter was straightforward: "Ultimately, I was impressed by the Craz-E."
