"The Rossa TP putter line is the product of a collaboration between Rossa putter engineers and a variety of tour professionals that resulted in the fine-tuning of six existing Rossa putter models," TaylorMade's announcement read. "This fine-tuning includes subtle changes and refinements that succeed in making the Rossa TP line of putters look, feel and perform in ways that tour pros prefer."
The new Monza models incorporate the same features found in the original Monza, which was introduced last year. Those features include a trapezoidal-shaped head, CGB Pipes (center of gravity back) and Titallium face insert. These features are designed to produce a deep-back center of gravity to help produce a smooth, almost bounceless roll off the face.
The Rossa TP putter line will be issued in limited quantities and includes two mallets, the Maranello 8-01 and Maranello 8-02; and four blades, the Daytona 1-02, Siena 4-02, Modena 4-02 and Imola 6-02.
Rossa TP putters are constructed of 1020 carbon steel and are 100 percent precision-milled. The Rossa TP Blades feature a tungsten weight sole insert allowing for exact CG placements and improved overall head shape. The new Rossa TP putter models are derivatives of the former Rossa Tour putters with slightly different dimensions.
The manufacturer's suggested retail price for each Rossa TP putter is $300.
The new Monza models are the Mezza Monza and Monza Center-Shaft.
"Mezza" is Italian for "middle," and the Mezza Monza is a mid-sized mallet. It's face length is 15-percent smaller, heel to toe, than the original Monza and should appeal to players who prefer a more compact head-shape.
The Monza Center-Shaft should appeal to players who are prone to leaving the putter face open at impact and pushing putts to the right.
