There are quite a few pieces of new kit floating about on Tour at the moment. Quietly moving through the hands of the top players in the world these prototypes are being rigorously tested to see if they will make it, first on Tour and then perhaps also in the general market place. Every now and then I would catch a glimpse of a very special wedge design or a shaft that is a one of a kind, made specifically for a professionals requirem
ents. It is very rare to see this kind of thing and usually it is reserved for the top 10 players in the world. However last week while the Tour Truck was stationed at The JP McManus Pro-Am I came across this very tasty Taylor Made Rossa Daytona by Kia Ma fully pimped up. The white "ghost" paint job and custom pressed shamrocks was specially made for the man himself. On the back of the head the three tungsten weight ports were paint filled in the green, white and orange Irish flag colours. Kia Ma is a Vietnamese putter specialist who looks after all the top end putters for Taylor Made. His design work is recognised as some of the finest craftsmanship currently available. He hand builds the custom putters in use at the top levels on Tour and his team spends countless hours in the pursuit of perfection for his Tour players. This one of a kind priceless putter for JP McManus proves you don't have to be one the best golfers in the world you just need to be one of the most generous.
