TP Patina Del Monte

The 2019 TP Patina Del Monte is a chunky version of an Anser-style blade, according to golfalot.com, which also described it as running on a single bend shaft. The name comes from its finish, which golfalot.com reported as a patina finish combining black nickel and copper, landing on what the publication called a grey putter surface. That finish is the putter's calling card, and it's the detail most tied to the "Patina" in its name.

Underneath, golfalot.com listed a PureRoll aluminium insert, now 5mm thicker, paired with a slightly firmer feel at impact per that same review. The publication also put toe hang at 8 degrees, sole weights ranging from 2.5 to 20 grams, and an extremely tacky Super Stroke grip on the build.

Opinion on the release is split. One reviewer found it good looking at address, well balanced, and easy to make a smooth full stroke with, but struggled to get alignment correct, noted there was no topline alignment line, and felt it didn't suit an arcing stroke for that reviewer. Golfalot.com's own writer was more openly lukewarm on the design itself, writing that the Del Monte putter wasn't exactly to my taste, while allowing that I'm sure that plenty of golfers will like the chunky looks. That divide, over the shaping more than the finish, is the thing to weigh before deciding where this one lands for you.
