New for 2011 - Rossa Ghost putters
by Dominic Pedler
May 2011

The all-white Ghost made its mark last summer with Justin Rose’s US Tour victories and has since been credited in inspiring the similarly albino look of the TaylorMade R11 metalwoods. More than a fashion statement, the ghostly finish is scientifically claimed to create the greatest contrast with the green grass thereby highlighting the putter-head’s shape to encourage better alignment.

The visual strategy continues with the three bold lines on the top of the putter (now painted black to achieve maximum contrast against the white surface), and the circular hole in the rear of the Corza body that creates a third visual check as well as helping to position the golf ball in the centre of the clubface. The concept has been extended in 2011 to three new Tour Ghost models, including the Daytona, Fontana and Maranello.
