Rossa Corza Ghost

The Rossa Corza Ghost arrived in 2010 as the first model in TaylorMade's Ghost Series, a white-headed mallet built to lean on visual contrast as much as anything under the hood. The head carries three black alignment lines against the white crown, with the outer two set one ball-width apart, and a circular hole cut into the back of the flange that echoes the ball itself, per golfcrunch.com and orlandogolfblogger.com. Editorial sources list a 345-gram head, a double-bend neck with 3/4 offset, face-balanced toe hang, and an AGSI+ grooved face insert running 14 polymer-filled grooves, per putterzone.com and orlandogolfblogger.com. Lengths of 33, 34, and 35 inches, a loft of 4 degrees, and a lie of 70 degrees are corroborated across multiple editorial sources. MSRP is reported at $159.99 by orlandogolfblogger.com and at $160 by putterzone.com.

The reception was largely enthusiastic. intothegrain.com and orlandogolfblogger.com both describe the Corza Ghost as an instant success with consumers and Tour professionals, crediting it with 13.1% putter dollar marketshare in July 2010, the highest total in company history according to those outlets. best-putter.com praised the roll as good as any top milled or grooved-face putter on the market, and independentgolfreviews.com called it a friendly ghost, pleased with the results. orlandogolfblogger.com went further personally: I love this putter. It's solid, has a soft feel with plenty of feedback, rolls like a dream and simplifies aiming your putts.

Not every note was clean. Community-style feedback held in the record flags glare and a hot spot from the white finish that some found burned into the eyes, along with a sense that longer putts demanded more force and threw off accuracy, and that the insert felt a bit clicky or plasticy. That sits alongside the same body of praise for its roll and its market performance, a tension the record simply holds rather than settles. Tour credit follows Justin Rose, with orlandogolfblogger.com and intothegrain.com both crediting him with two PGA Tour wins on the putter, at the Memorial and the AT&T National, while best-putter.com separately lists usage by Jason Day, Sean O'Hair, and Paula Creamer plus wins into 2011 and 2012, figures that extend beyond this putter's own release year and belong more to the Ghost line's broader tour story than to the 2010 Corza Ghost specifically.
