No particular OEM.  probably want something a little different than the standard anser style so not one of the mainstream OEMs.   

Just looked at their  putters,  nothing really stands out for me.  

Oh I know; not my first rodeo     

Maybe T-Squared? I have really liked the look of their putters, the few I have seen in the wild.

@cnosil out here lighting the bat-signal for all the putter nerds. It's about to get busy in here! Some other putters to consider that haven't already been thrown out there, but I imagine you're familiar with at least a few of these already:

• Sub70's 007 putter and Meridian's Okatie came to mind for a traditional, non-anser blade.
• Argolf's Merlin reminds me of mini golf putters and their Excalibur is about as an unusual design as I've seen.
• If you want to go WAY out there, Greenwood has those crazy wood putters.

Not sure if any of these have the color or shaft you're looking for though!

Good luck on the putter search @cnosil, there's a lot of options out there and it makes it a hard decision to make if you buy one.

I'm searching for a pair of brown golf shoes and need a 9 wide and don't want wingtip ones. I have been scouring the Internet and can't find this unicorn I'm looking for. I don't want to break the bank, either. 

 

Surprised FJ doesn't have them. Do they have to be traditional leather type or can be more modern sneaker type?

The Runner putters just tested looked interesting too

Needed to be in the used world to save some money on the head and then buy the shaft.  Wanting to go 100% graphite so I can't do shaft over hosel.    I have been browsing the various used club sites and found a good option.  Wasn't impressed with T-Squared or Sub70.  Argolf makes some nice putters but the one I would want is SOHO.  Greenwood are not what I was looking for;  need something more modern to go with the graphite shaft.  I am going back to a putter maker that hasn't been in my bag since around 2008.   I'll post some pictures once I get it and make sure it is what I am going to go forward with on the build.   

Might go wild color with the shaft.

Currently looking to replace my Ping G410 3 wood with Tensei Orange stiff. What have you tested recently.

The new Wilson putters are pretty cheap and look nice. Then Tommy armour just this year came out with a new impact putter lineup for $150 each. I just left dick’s and hit a few of them I really like them. For Christmas I got a Tommy Armour impact #2 wide blade putter for $110. It’s the 2018 version but tested out the #2 best putter by MGS for that year and I love it!

The Wilsons aren't bad but not my favorite during testing.   I don't think the TA putters are worthy of a higher end build like I want to do.

Didn't you just big a pair of black ones? Jeez someone's turning into a shoe 'ho Hey enjoy your summer break!!!

...

@cnosil cannot remember not find it now but you may know them .. it might have been Bobby Grace that hammers, torches and otherwise fully customizes putter heads.

I appreciate it, Chuck! 

I bought the black ones and SWMBO told me, "you know what? You ought to get a pair of brown ones since they'll look better with some of your outfits.", who am I to argue?

[Lefty11]

After today's round, it's clear I need to fill the gap in my bag. I'm in dire need of a 3-wood.

[Jakesy35]

I had an unexpected equipment desire pop up over the weekend. Bought a Paradym approach wedge from Callaway Preowned to fill a gap in my bag between PW and my 56 degree. Unfortunately, I hit the three best approach shots of my life with it this weekend and now I think I have to angrily buy the rest of the Paradym irons

I have an older 3 wood and 3 hybrid I found in someone's trash a few years back - Taylor Made SLDR.  I regripped them and hit the 3 wood pretty well, but can't hit the 3 hybrid for the life of me.  I never played hybrids growing up, so maybe I just need to practice.  But the remaining gap in my bag is between driver and 5 iron.  I'm thinking I would like a new 3 wood, and maybe a 5 wood and a 4 iron or a hybrid I can actually hit.  I've also seen a lot of people getting higher lofted woods which I can see being handy.  As long as I keep avoiding carrying a 60 degree wedge for fear it will cost me more strokes, I can add an extra club at the top of my bag.  

If you figure out a 3 wood, I'd love to hear how you decided.  I'm going to keep my eyes open for demo days around me just to try a variety and get a sense of what I even like of the newer stuff.  

[TJ Hall]

I’ve been struggling with my putting the last few rounds, likely going to switch back to my prior gamer to see if a different look/feel helps any.

Also going back to the stock shaft in my driver…just looking for something at this point.  Hoping for some better results.

Nice, gotta love when the new to you club performs! If you're serious about a full set, though, do it soon while their 2X trade-in bonus is still happening.

I’ll keep you updated.  @TJ Hall sorry about your putter issues right now. Short game is what is saving me at the moment.

My oh my, the Beige/Khaki colorway of these are screaming my name  

"you have two pairs of golf shoes, you don't need another pair. You don't need another pair!" 

[CamCov]

I play with my old man a lot, and as he has gotten older we play from shorter and shorter tees. I like to stay with him on the tee box to make the playing experience smoother and try to avoid making him feel like he is getting older. 
 

So I am thinking about making a “shorter course” setup as I rarely need to use driver when playing anything under 6300 yards as I hit my 3 wood about 250 - 260carry. 
 

My normal bag has driver, 3 wood, 3 hybrid, 4-pw, then 48,54,60. 
 

Thinking about adding mini driver, 5 wood, 7 wood, adding a 51° wedge, and taking out my 4 iron, driver, 3 wood and 3 hybrid.

id remove the 3H and 4i as I mostly hit line drives with those, and feel the 5 and 7 woods would probably get up in the air a little more.  

Anyone switch up the bag this drastically from round to round?

I have two pairs of golf shoes and I needed another pair. Gotta be able to match the shoes to the outfit.

My master plan is to wait until next year and then get a pair of these bad boys.

All white terrifies me, but I think with a pair like this I'd be committed to cleaning them after every round lol.

Those look so good, you just can't go wrong with a classic pair of FJ shoes.

I've never owned a pair of the traditions, I've always gone with more of the sport/performance type shoes and I want to change it up the next time around!

[Coulter]

I’m thinking of a stand bag since I’ve just recently started walking. Plus at the range and the back yard a cart bag is very annoying! A garmin s70! And preparing for a couple of tournaments in the very near future I got a secret weapon.

[Grip]

I believe I need a driving iron and a blade putter.

[CFreddie]

Took the plunge on some new wedges - my Jaws were getting pretty dull after a couple years of use.  Went with the Haywood Signatures in Raw at 50 / 54 / 58 degree lofts.  Excited to see them in a couple weeks (complete with some fun ferrule colors)!

Now I'm also considering a utility / driving iron - starting to develop a gap near the top end of my bag and would love to switch in a DI for my Scotland trip next year.  Any suggestions - was looking at a used U505 or something similar?

Over the next few months, going to be some big additions to the bag and I am overly excited for it to happen. I am taking my time, but I have come to a 99.999% completed list of what will be coming.

[cnosil]

New putter is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.  Been researching shafts and grips and while I’ll try the putter as delivered everything could be changed.  The shaft isn’t one of the typical stock steel shafts so it will be interesting to see how it performs.   the grip is probably a definite swap.  
 

I’ve been looking at the high end putter shafts and think I have narrowed it down to KBS GPS, Diamana, and Accra Sync.   Been putting with a putter at HQ that has the Sync and I love the feel…I know the putter head has an influence in the feel.  
 

the grip will most likely end up being a super stoke.  Want to find the right profile,  looking for something a little more round. In one of the pictures on the site it shows a grips that looks right but can’t find it in their list of available grips.   Counterbalanced ones seem to have the desired shape but they are typically longer and not sure the head weight on the new putter will be high enough.  
 

still some pondering but that’s the fun of buying new equipment.

What did you end up going with for the head?
