TP Reserve TR-M37
CaddyIndex™ breakdown: what our research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You putt with a straight or slight-arc stroke and want a premium, fully milled round mallet with a soft feel, strong alignment and tunable sole weights.
You putt with a strong arc (choose the M33 small slant), you want a value price, or you prefer a compact blade.
Pros
- A face-balanced round mallet - 12 degrees of toe hang for consistency
- A short single bend reduces offset and increases forgiveness
- 100% milled 303 stainless steel - a soft feel and crisp sound
- Changeable sole weights and strong top-and-cavity alignment
Cons
- Just 12 degrees of toe hang - little arc fit (the M33 adds a slant)
- A milled mallet at a premium price
- Fractional 7.5g weights - a niche fitting detail
By dimension
Forgiveness
Exceptional for a milled mallet - the short-length single-bend hosel moves the bend closer to the head, reduces offset and increases forgiveness on the round high-MOI head, the round mallet shape adding stability. Among the more forgiving milled putters - a face-balanced round mallet.
Distance
A standout - the machined milled grooves and soft 303 stainless steel face give a consistent roll, a clean rollout. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
Built for a straight stroke - the single-bend hosel creates a more face-balanced putter with just 12 degrees of toe hang for greater consistency, suiting straighter and slight-arc players (the M33 small slant handles stronger arcs). Limited arc-fit - a near-face-balanced milled mallet.
Feel
Best-in-class - the machined milled grooves and soft 303 stainless steel face provide excellent feedback, a premium milled contact with a sole plate tuned for feel. Among the very best putter feels - a fully milled premium mallet.
Sound
A clean, crisp note - the machined milled grooves give a crisp sound, a refined acoustic. Among the better putter sounds - a crisp, premium note.
Looks at address
Among the best - the round 'cute modern mallet' frames the ball beautifully at address with a single sightline on the top rail plus two in the back cavity, a matte-steel milled finish. Among the cleaner, most alignment-friendly milled mallets.
