Aim was the primary consideration when
TaylorMade engineers began working on new
Rossa putter concepts. Their goal was to
design one that was easier for golfers to aim
than any other putter. That led to experiment-
ing with flat sticks featuring a white finish,
and the results were so positive they decided
to introduce one with that very look – the
Corza Ghost.
Optics played a huge role in the development
of that club, which was created with input from
noted putting guru – and Rossa Tour Staff pro-
fessional – Dave Stockton. The Corza Ghost has
already earned two PGA Tour wins this season,
with Justin Rose using it to capture titles at the
brought in a professor from the Indiana School
of Optometry, Dr. Steven A. Hitzeman, to consult
during the development process.
Hitze-
man
adds.
“All of these
high-contrast
alignment elements
give the golfer the best possible chance of
accurately aiming the putter.”
To enhance the ease with which the Corza
Ghost can be aimed, TaylorMade put three
black alignment lines on its crown and a
circular hole in the back of the putter head,
giving golfers different aiming options.
“You can focus on the top line,” says Bret
Wahl, senior director of iron, wedge and put-
ter development at TaylorMade. “Or, you can
focus on the alignment lines to visually con-
nect the circular hole and your ball.”
Corza Ghost is currently available only in
a mallet-head design, and its high MOI head
is built to be extremely stable on off-center
hits. It boasts the same AGSI (Anti-Skid
Groove System Insert) Technology of other
Rossa putters. l
