Maverickping Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Much talk lately of new things coming out and like everyone else, my interests are there. Curious how many people are considering the custom, boutique putter scene for a new member to their bag? I've never understood people spending a bundle on new drivers and aftermarket shafts but neglect what they will use for every hole unless they are fortunate enough on a hole not to need their putter. Here isa picture of what I like to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnosil Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Nice putter; Looks like a Nead. Am I correct? I am not sure it is necessarily the custom putter that improved putting though. It is knowing what putter works for you. I hear people all the time that will get on launch monitors to find the theoretical best driver or irons for their game. When choosing a putter they go by what looks and feels the best. For me, It is about performance. I want the putter that lets me start the ball on my intended line. Putters are built differently because they work differently. Maybe it is because in the custom putter market, it is hard to get your money back out of them (big losses) but with drivers and irons you don't take as much of a loss if you resell.

Maverickping Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 You are right, it is a Nead. I used that picture only because you would be surprised at how many putters cannot do that. I couldn't agree more in, use what works for you. This is where the “custom putter†comes in. If you knew the right head weight, shaft offset, correct neck, loft and lie et al. You are in business then. All goes back to what we all talk about and that is getting fit and knowing what works. Plenty of places today that can fit you for all of this. As far as the resell, the market fluctuates and right now it is a buyer's market. Funny thing though, my putters have always increased in value, not dropped. Incredible putters for sale now, likely for less than from the big box. I think most people get comfortable with one putter and then stick with it. This might be another option in the quest for the right one, at a very reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
