Brian A Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 So I am debating on getting a new putter, I currently use the TaylorMade Spider Blade Counter Balanced putter. I am a fairly decent putter, usually average under 2 per hole. I am ready to go all in on a putter, and was looking at a Cameron Newport or going totally different style with the Spider (since it seems to be the most popular on tour now). Are either of these really going to help me that much? After playing around in the store with the spider it seems that this club is harder turn or not come back smooth and straight with due to the longer backside, is that the purpose of the design or am I crazy?

I have to admit this made me laugh. I double checked my app, its 2 per hole 1.7 with GIR. So not quite under 2.

cnosil Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I just assumed that a better putter help drop it below 1.5 I guess the question is what do you consider a better putter? Does the fact that a PGA pro plays the putter or that it costs $500 make it better? The best putter is the on you can start on you intended line and that you can roll a specific distance. Putters are designed in varying configurations to accommodate the way you putt. If you want to play a particular putter because it looks good just understand you may have to change your stroke to get it work properly Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street11 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I recently bought the Cleveland 2135 8.0 and I love it. Feels great off the face and is super responsive. I basically lived at the PGA Superstore for two weeks as I tried every putter under the sun for something I wanted. Like everyone has said above, its a very personal decision as I have a friend who basically puts with a hunk of metal of the end of a stick and loves it. To each his own.

I happen to despise the look and feel of a mallet style putter. The classic look of an Anser style flat stick is what appeals to me. I however cannot putt with one to save my life. Instead the golf gods have cursed me, and their will is for me to putt with one of the most hideous putters ever made. But..it works.

Kenny B Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Rather than looks, make sure you get a putter that matches your type of stroke. Face-balanced, slight arc, strong arc; if you get one that doesn't match your putter stroke, it will fight you. Then get the correct length and lie angle. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condog Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 KB another thing as i am sitting here looking at putters is the feel when it leaves the putter head.

Sent from my SM-G930V using MyGolfSpy mobile app I prefer a milled face. I am not a fan of the Odyssey line. It seems like the inserts take away a feeling when I strike the ball that I like on milled face putters. Maybe it's just me, but... I game the Sigma G Anser, and I've tested the Kushin and they're both amazing putters. I ordered the Anser before I had a chance to test the Kushin, and I almost regret it. I like the weighting of the Kushin just a little more I think. Very solid putters. When I was fitted for putters at Ping HQ in February, the Kushin was the best. However, when I got back home and went to the golf shop, they had the Kinloch C putter, and that center-shaft really felt good. It would be a toss-up between those two. The Sigma G is not a milled face, but it has aluminum in the polymer. I liked the feel of these putters; I just wish they were a little heavier. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiro Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I am also a fan of milled faces. Not to say that inserts are bad, just a preference on feel and level of feedback. So it is really hard to make any recommendations on putters, there are lots of different types that work for different people. Playing the right stroke fit as mentioned above is probably one variable to pay attention to, after that probably what alignment aid works for you.

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Good start would be the Most Wanted Mallet and Blade tests on the Main blog. Most Wanted Mallet Test Most Wanted Blade Test A fitting, if available wherever you are, is always a good idea before spending any kind of money at all on a putter. Without a clear idea of what you need in terms of length, lie, loft etc, it's a shot in the dark. Had an Edel fitting a couple of years ago and it changed the way I think about putters - learned I really shouldn't be using a blade (mallet or mid-mallet is best for me, but maybe not for the next guy). And just for giggle, I bought a MacGregor Bobby Grace M5K mallet on the Bay a few weeks ago -- cut it down to 33 inches and put a counter weighted grip on it -- I'm starting to love it and it may -- MAY - force me put my Edel on the bench for a while, something I never would have thought possible a few months ago.

golfer69 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I just went through the same process and here are my results. Decided on mallet due to weight and stability. Final 4 were evnroll er7, mla, directed force and scotty x7. Evnroll was my choice that is until I attended the nj golf show and Bobby Grace happened to be there. Tried his f-18 and bought it on the spot. He fit, customized and built it in 20mins. After 3 rounds loved it bought a 2nd for my other bag i keep at my SC place. All have lots of technology although different. Just liked feel of BG. At that point its just up to you cant go wrong. Was very intrigued by Directed Force but no opportunity to demo it in my area.
