Musty Review: A.T.S. Putter

Manufacturer: Musty Golf

Model: A.T.S.
Category: Putters

Additional Details:

Purchase: This putter was given to me as a player in a charity golf tournament. It is inscribed with my name on the bottom and, unfortunately, with the tournament's sponsor (in big, bold letters) on the top.

Pros: Musty Putters is a southern California specialty putter maker, who makes beautiful wood putters (Bill Murray uses one!). The putter I received is gorgeous, and I was reluctant to even try it on a putting green. However, much to my surprise, it does roll very true. It has a great big head, with two large sight lines on top, so lining up shots is easy. Musty's claim to fame is that they install a metal insert inside the putter head, to keep the center of gravity heigher, and therefore keeps the ball from "hopping" on initial contact. This, too, works very well in real life. With enough practice, this could be a very good, everyday putter.

Cons: It's heavy! The big wood head, plus the metal insert, plus the large diameter shaft, make this a very heavy putter. It takes a while to get used to the weight of the club to obtain any kind of distance control.

A.T.S. Quality: This putter has a beautiful wood head; I just wish the tournament's sponsor wasn't so prominently displayed on top. The shaft-to-head connection leaves something to be desired, as it is a simple grommet that constantly slips up the shaft.

Review & Rating Summary: The Musty Putter A.T.S. is admittedly a novelty, but it actually works quite well in real life. It's so beautiful, however, that you'll be reluctant to use it!
