Hello Jim1946,

   According to this site, Michelle uses a Nike OZ Black T130
oversized mallet putter:

   "Nike Oz Black T130 Oversized Mallet: Michelle Wie put it into play
on the pro tours at the LPGA Fields Open. Now Nike is making it
available to everyone else as of March 1. The Oz Black T130 has the
highest MOI of any putters in the Oz line, due in part to the two
65-gram tungsten weights that are positioned rearward in the extreme
heel and toe of the clubhead. It comes in lengths of 33, 34 and 35
inches. It will retail for $169."

  If you go to the following site, and click on "Atheletes", select
Michelle Wie. You will be taken to a page where you can select "What's
in the bag" to see what clubs Wie is endorsing.

   However, this 2005 report mentions other brands:
"If she does turn pro sooner rather than later, then the safest bet is
that - again, like Tiger - she will become a Nike athlete, although,
either by accident or design, every major golf equipment manufacturer
has been given a little bit of hope that they might have a chance.
Like other teenagers, Wie is fickle. Once, she played Titleist irons
and a Taylor Made driver and a Ping putter. She wore Footjoy shoes and
Titleist caps. She started using a Scotty Cameron putter. The Titleist
clothing went, along with the Titleist irons. These days, she
sometimes wears Adidas clothing and plays with Nike irons, a Nike ball
and a Nike driver. "Just like Tiger. She loves everything Tiger does,
just like a lot of kids in America," says a friend of the family."

   "Accordingly to Hiro Matsumoto Japan that Michelle Wie is goint to
use MI-01 iron and MZ-25 putter and M. Wedges from Hiro Matsumoto,
please check it out on TV for Sony Open at Hawaii on Jan. 13 - 16,
2005."
