Jack Nicklaus’ was one of the greatest putter’s in the game. He one-putted six of the final nine greens at the 1986 Masters to roar from eight spots back to claim his record-setting 18th major.
I was curious what putter was used by Jack Nicklaus during this famous win. I discovered Jack Nicklaus won the Masters using MacGregor’s Response ZT putter, designed by the legendary club designer Clay Long.
Although the company had planned to sell only 6,000 for the year, the day after Nicklaus’ victory they were deluged with 5,000 orders. They sold 300,000 that year.
Jack Nicklaus famous quote was “I’m one of the greatest two-putters,” he once said. The Golden Bear often plotted to avoid three-putting before doing anything else.
Jack Nicklaus Putter MacGregor’s Response ZT 615
The putter was odd-looking, with an oversized aluminum head. When designer Clay Long first showed it to Nicklaus in July, 1985, he asked “Is this a joke?”. Nicklaus almost abandoned the club after missing the cut for the Honda Classic that year, due to the large but lightweight club’s sensitivity to wind gusts which caused him to miss a six inch putt. However, he had the head weighted with lead for a heavier “feel” and went on to perform spectacularly with it in the Masters.

Is it for real? Can it increase your driver length? According to golf.com comments on R11 the answer is YES. Commentators swore they had increased some yard when hitting with Taylormade R11.
Dustin Johnson has one of the longest golf drive in PGA. According to NBC golf ranking analysis, Dustin Johnson is ranked number one in longest driver.
He’s drives it long and it is not a matter of golf driver Dustin Johnson uses (Dustin Golf driver is Taylormade R9), the boy has big advantages going for him, he’s tall, has long arms and is super-athletic. You add those four factors and you have the longest golf driver in PGA.
Dustin Johnson Golf Swing analysis
if you watch Dustin Johnson in action you will see, Dustin make a free uninhibited motion to the top of his swing. He makes a great shoulder turn while keeping a consistent spine angle. He extends the clubhead away from the ball as well, which gives him a giant swing arc. And he actually goes a little old school at the top of his swing with an upright arm plane. All of these factors add up to a lot of distance.
