TAYLOR MADE ROSSA MONZA £149

Design and Tech Benefits The red face insert gives this putter a unique, attractive look that should appeal to golfers up for something a bit different. The black mallet head should help with alignment but might take a while to get used to. The deep mallet head has a central alignment marking to help achieve the correct set-up position. When swung the head should remain stable producing a solid stroke sending the ball off on line.

GM VERDICT This Monza mallet has quite a heavy head which is easy to keep on line. A new lower price tag makes this quite an appealing option - it'll perform well and look good in the bag. If you're into mallet putters and take comfort in the alignment aids they give, we recommend you take this out for a spin.

Digital Editor

In his current role, Neil is responsible for testing drivers and golf balls. Having been a part of the Golf Monthly team for over 15 years and playing off a handicap of 3, he has the experience to compare performance between models, brands and generations. For 2022 he thinks the main trend in drivers is: "In a word, consistency. Whilst all the brands are talking about ball speed (and the new drivers are certainly long), my biggest finding has been how much more consistent the ball flights are. Mishits don't seem to be causing the same level of drop-off or increase in the spin numbers. This means that more shots seem to be flying the way you want them to!" As far as golf balls are concerned the biggest development is in the, "three piece, non-Tour, urethane-covered section. For regular golfers, these models offer superb performance at both ends of the bag without denting your wallet quite as much as the premium Tour-played options."


Originally working with the best coaches in the UK to produce instruction content, he is now the brand's Digital Editor and covers everything from Tour player interviews to gear reviews. In his time at Golf Monthly, he has covered equipment launches that date back well over a decade. He clearly remembers the launch of the Callaway and Nike square drivers as well as the white TaylorMade driver families, such as the RocketBallz! If you take a look at the Golf Monthly YouTube channel, you'll see his equipment videos dating back over a decade! He has also conducted 'What's In The Bag' interviews with many of the game's best players like Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm. Over the years, Neil has tested a vast array of products in each category and at drastically different price-points.
