Zebra putters for some have an almost mystical fame and the latest four models build on the successful introduction of the first new models in many years back in 2023. The Milled Series all make use of two 10g sole weights and both heavier and lighter weights are available to suit the needs of the user.
Zebra had part of Ram Golf but when Ram disappeared Golfsmith took over the brand name but they too went away when purchased by Dick’s Sporting Goods in 2016.
Golf Brands Inc. got into the act four years ago and now not only is making Zebra but Ram, MacGregor, and Ben Hogan.
