Who We are
We are an American golf putter company specializing in advanced putter design and precision milled putters. Our roots date back to 1972 when Terry McCabe filed his first patent application for the T-LINE putter. A decade later he was called on by Gary Adams, founder of TaylorMade, to head up all the design efforts for the new company. Here the TPA putter line was born, racking up 5 major championships and one of the most iconic mallet designs in history, the TPA XVIII.
Goals
Our history in professional golf coupled with decades of design experience sets us apart from other golf companies. Attention to detail in the design stage brings together the beauty and performance both professionals and amateurs desire. Our focus will always be to put the marketing non-sense aside and deliver putters that benefit the player and look good doing so. These were the principles utilized by Terry McCabe when he designed the world renown Titleist 975D driver, the original TaylorMade Tour Preferred Metalwoods, the original Founders Club Fresh MetalWoods, and all the TPA and T-LINE putters.
Our first products are the last clubs that will have the fingerprints of one of the greatest golf club designers of our generation. Tee McCabe, was fortunate to witness first hand some of the greatest innovations in golf history from design to manufacturing. He is looking forward to keeping the legacy alive and making beautiful putters that work as that was the pursuit of excellence he witness from his father.
