Kombi S vs X5?

[dhayse32]

Well I gamed a regular Kombi for a few seasons and loved it.  I got putter fever last year and bought a new Squareback but just never fell in love with it. Went back to a Kombi (S this time) and it feels much better....then I see an like new X5 for sale and just couldn't resist.  It looks amazing but haven't heard much about them.  Any feedback?

I own all the putters that you mentioned and the X5 is not a bad putter at all, but a bit different.  To me the ball comes off the face of the X5 a bit faster than I am used to so that will take some time (that I don't have right now) to get used to.  Overall it is a solid feeling putter and easy to line up.  Only thing I would change on it is the grip; which is a little bit big for my liking but that is just a personal preference.

Thanks for the feedback.  I love the look of the X5, just hate the stock pistola grip.  My Kombi has a SS Slim on it now (prefer a little larger grip), going to go with a similar grip on the X5.  I could tell just tinkering with it that there is more pop off the face with it compared to my Kombi's.  Time will tell!

The putter feels a lot more like the original Kombi that than the Kombi S which is not a bad thing.
