The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe 2021 TP Hydro Blast Bandon 1 came finished in Hydro Blast, and Golf Monthly described it as a mallet, double-wing head with a Tour-inspired double wing design, built from 303 stainless steel around a White Pure Roll insert. Golf Monthly's reporting is split on two spec points worth flagging rather than smoothing over: the neck is listed both as an L-neck and as a Short Slant hosel, and toe hang is given as both 22° and 32°. Those are two different putters worth of feel, so take either figure as reported rather than settled.
The release is tied closely to its arrival on Tour. Golf Monthly reported it as the first Bandon 1 to appear in competition, in Tommy Fleetwood's bag, while golf.com dated that switch to the RBC Heritage and noted Dustin Johnson used the putter as well in Hilton Head. Per golf.com, TaylorMade Tour rep Adrian Rietveld said that for Fleetwood, the centeredness of strike was a big reason for the switch. That theme, more centered strikes and fewer heel-ward misses, along with help squaring up at address, is echoed in Community opinion on the putter more broadly, though none of that is presented as verified performance data, just as what players and reviewers said they felt.
On price, Golf Monthly listed it at £199 GBP and golf.com at $200 USD, the two markets' figures for the same release.
