If you’re a golfer who was born before 1992, there’s a good chance you or someone you played golf with had a Never Compromise putter. In fact, you might even still have one. These putters were some of the most popular and easy-to-recognize models on the planet thanks to their black-silver-black contrasting putter heads. At their peak, they won a lot of tournaments on the PGA Tour.

Well, after years of engineering and design, the iconic black-silver-black is back with the release of the all-new Never Compromise Reserve putter line, accompanied by a unique fitting system to help golfers get the right putter in their hands.

Fit just for you

“We’re excited to be able to bring back the Never Compromise line and allow golfers to get a hand-built, custom putter fit entirely for their stroke,” said Never Compromise VP Chuck Thiry. “A putter is the most used club in the bag, and it’s the one golfers often don’t think to get fit for. With Never Compromise, golfers can simplify their mechanics and produce better results on the greens.”

The all-new Never Compromise Reserve putter experience is designed around a unique in-store length fitting process, with each fitting starting with an assessment of a golfer’s posture and setup over the ball. From there the fitter can discern the proper length for the putter and get the player into the right length — down to 1/4″ precision.

Once the proper length is selected, golfers can then go through the process of selecting their preferred head shape based on alignment, stroke type, and finish. After that, the fitter can help the golfer dial in the ideal grip option and head weight with the help of the adjustable sole weights, and then it’s off to the course.

At the core of Never Compromise’s reintroduction is the fitting process, and many dealer locations will have all the equipment, training, and components on hand to build a newly custom fit putter that very same day.

Construction

The Never Compromise Reserve line of putters are 100 percent CNC milled from soft 303 stainless steel and individually adjusted for weight during the fitting process. The goal of these features is to help golfers find the ideal balance based on the putter’s length. The Never Compromise reserve line features five stroke-specific models to choose from with three options designed with more toe hang shapes for lighter arcing strokes, plus two face-balanced shapes for more limited arc putting styles.
