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.
