Great summary review WD.  I know we have a final summary review due in a few weeks, but I have to say at this point after many rounds with the putter, the distance control for me is getting excellent (it had been a little questionable my first few rounds).  Played today, and except for the first hole where I overestimated the side slope, I never had to "make" a second putt in the whole round.  All first putts where within a foot of the hole.  I was a little off on accuracy today, so the misses were either a bit left or a bit right, but never long or short.  

 

I'm loving the putter more every round!

Another plus for this putter is if your back gets tight you can stand more upright and relieve the pressure. Has worked well the last two times I have rolled some putts.

Ok, quick update: just got back from the annual buddies trip and this putter is definitely staying in the bag until further notice. I've never putted as well on the greens where we were as I did this weekend.

Several months later, and I am really, really loving this putter.  Over the last few weeks, the distance control and accuracy on mid length and long putts has been awesome.  Short putts are much improved as well, but I've always been a bad short putter, so the improvement is relative!  At least it gives me something to work on!

 

No hesitation in recommending this putter whatsoever!

So, very next round after my last post, had by far my best putting round ever yesterday!  Tried to add up the stats, but do to the nature of long putts, chips, GIRs that are just barely, etc., really didn't show anything.  But distance control was spot on, direction was more spot on and every short (less than 6 ft) putt fell!  Only one mishit (uphill putt on the green that after eight years on the course I still can't believe its uphill (green perched on a steep slope)), and one badly misread putt on one of the Valley's reshaped greens.  Very, very confident that ball will end up near the pin distance wise and the putter is great for me in getting it lined up and then hitting the ball on the desired track.

One month later, love it even better.  For the first time in my golfing life, I now consider myself a good putter.  Only two three putts total in last three rounds.  Short putts are automatic now, distance and direction control on long putts amazes me.  

 

BTW, not a mark on it yet.

Glad to hear it's working out for you Jax!  How is the back doing?  We really need to find an excuse to get together to play again sometime soon.  I will be up that way in January - perhaps we can hit the base?

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Rev--back is stable, playing twice a week.  Playing at the base sounds good!
