Teardrop TD-7 Putter Review: NCG Summary

5 star review
NCG SUMMARY

The all black finish of this putter gives it a really classy look and makes it stand out. The bright alignment lines offer a bold contrast and make this really easy to line up.

This putter is a great option for mid to high handicap golfers who are wanting more forgiveness on the greens. I saw marked improvement in my distance control in particular.

This is definitely a putter I would put in play if I was looking to make a putter change.

PROS

  • Love the all black finish
  • Easy alignment
  • Great distance control

CONS

  • None

Teardrop TD-7 Putter Review: First Impressions

The all black head cover is slick and looks smart. Its appearance and magnetised lock gives it that sense of professional quality. In addition to its looks, it feels high quality.

As for the putter itself, it looks fresh and clean. Again, the all black finish around the club face gives it that classy professional look. The winged design looks great at address behind the ball, and the three white lines make alignment feel easier.

Teardrop TD-7 Putter Review: NCG Review

As a mid-handicapper, forgiveness is something I look for in all of my clubs. This putter certainly has that. Teardrop claim that their TD-7 offers the ultimate in forgiveness and alignment, as the winged design stretches the forgiveness of its steel and aluminium construction to deliver what they say is the highest MOI in their line-up.

This is something I did see, as the effect of the bad putts were minimised and bad putts in general were kept to a low level. The high forgiveness levels also seemed to help me reach a more consistent level of distance control with my putts. Something I have struggled with over recent times, I was able to get the ball to the hole much more frequently from a longer range.

For mid to high handicappers, this putter is ideal. Its leading edge alignment system combined with the triple-elongated back lines makes alignment exceptionally easy.

I felt confident with the putter after only a few short putts. The ball seemed to roll nicely of the putter face and make a lovely sound. With how well balanced the head fells, I was able to hit the majority of the balls from the middle of the face. This meant I was also able to hit my puts on their intended line frequently. With the levels of forgiveness the putter has, it didn’t seem to matter if I hit the ball out of the middle or not, the results were similar.

Hitting your intended line with the TD-7 is also helped by Teardrop’s machined radial face design and grooved friction face.

The putter also comes with a nice thick grip and at purchase you can choose from three different varieties of SuperStroke grips or one of two Teardrop grips. I used the Tour 2.0, and it felt extremely comfortable in my hands, which I felt helped with the accuracy of my putts.

What I will say is that, If I was to change putter, the TD-7 would be high up on the list for me as a 14 handicapper, I’d benefit from its levels of forgiveness.

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
