TP Ardmore Putter

The TaylorMade TP Ardmore is part of the TP line, and the record here comes almost entirely from shop.golfersauthority.com, which describes a putter built around TaylorMade's Pure Roll Insert, a high-grade aluminum piece with grooves angled at 45 degrees, set into a head reported at 355 g. The same source lists a red finish with dual white sightlines on the back, an insert alternately described as 6061 aluminum, and adjustable heel and toe sole weights meant to add stability through the stroke. It's worth noting shop.golfersauthority.com's own listing is inconsistent on some points, giving the insert material as either high-grade aluminum or Surlyn in one entry and specifying 6061 aluminum elsewhere.

Community opinion on the Ardmore is mixed in useful ways. Reviewers praised the alignment aid, the face's responsiveness, and the overall feel and feedback off the putter face, but others flagged a firmer feel and a slightly hollow sound at impact compared to earlier Surlyn-insert models, per shop.golfersauthority.com. Separately, opinion holds that the putter struggles on challenging downhill putts and isn't ideal for golfers with a pronounced arc stroke, with at least one note on a rust-like patina finish. Shop.golfersauthority.com also reports the Ardmore received a Gold Rating on the 2018 Golf Digest Hot List, though that credit sits with the publication's reporting rather than as an established fact here.

Within its own line, the Ardmore is positioned as a face-balanced option, with a double bend shaft noted alongside other hosel configurations said to provide varying toe hang, and it's reported to be available in various head shapes and lengths of 34 and 35 inches. That range of configuration options, paired with the split reaction to how the face feels compared to older Surlyn inserts, is the clearest picture the record holds of where this release sits against the rest of the TP Ardmore family.
