heisman6183 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I would love to jump in on an EvnRoll, but can't justify that much for a putter, yet. Trusty 2-ball works good enough for now.

TSauer Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Everyone mentions feel off the face, honestly I cant tell the difference between any putter for "Feel". Not sure if I even know what that means. Honestly I have tried using putters that have no face milling or inserts and then my putter, it all seems to be the same For some people, I believe it's a placebo effect. Sometimes the price and popularity of the putter make some people believe the feel is better, when in reality there are probably many putters that compete with said expensive putters in the feel category. Nothing against Scotty's, Bettinardis, or Evnrolls, it's really all about what you prefer.

dang3rtown Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I am looking at the Edel Brick or the Ping Sigma Kushin. I've read all I can find about the Edel. Anyone gaming that Ping? Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I went in looking at the Sigma G Anser and came out with the Kushin. Basically, they are both "blades" but the Answer is a true blade and the Kushin falls somewhere in the middle of the blade/mallet spectrum (this is what my fitter told me). With blades, I tend to leave the face open, with mallets, I would close it. The Kushin just worked for me. Go get fit, see what works for you.

4Left Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 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.

Nothing against Scotty's, Bettinardis, or Evnrolls, it's really all about what you prefer. Feel is really sound. Some people like a clicky sound and some like more of a thud. Yes it is personal preference but there are factors that change the sound such as milling depth, face thickness, inserts, etc. and it isn't dependent on price. I say sound and not feel since that is really what people are interpreting. Studies have shown that if you take away the sound aspect people can't tell the difference 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: TM-180 Testing: Backups: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Yes WAYY right. I just got glasses. It might be the slight change in peripheral. I didn't have this problem last year or any year for that matter. - Da Yooper @low_fade (instagram) I'm not sure why you have a putter designed for an arc stroke when you say that you have a fairly straight backstroke and follow-through. It seems like a more face-balanced putter would be a better fit. Also, check out the thread from a few years ago on eye dominance for some thoughts. https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/13150-eye-dominance/ There are also many threads about putting woes; some people like to line up their ball with the intended path then align their putter to the alignment aid on the ball. Others do not. I have found that aligning the ball and putter works best for me because I am right-eye dominant. When I do this then stand over the ball, it doesn't look right, but I had to learn to trust my read from behind the ball. Eventually, I quit looking at the ball altogether after I had aligned my putter. I make all my putts now looking at the hole during the stroke, trusting my initial read; like throwing darts or horseshoes. “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...

I fully intend to get fitted when I get a chance. I use the alignment aid on the putter, and have some success just not where I could be with putting, my distance is spot on, just a left miss, sometimes a right but mostly left. I had an old Zebra putter for the longest time. It was face balanced if I remember correctly, made a lot more putts. I'm definitely right eye dominant, and with the new glasses it is just going to be a learning curve. But a new putter is definitely needed for me to drain some more putts. Thanks for the tips!

dadivots Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Everyone mentions feel off the face, honestly I cant tell the difference between any putter for "Feel". Not sure if I even know what that means. Honestly I have tried using putters that have no face milling or inserts and then my putter, it all seems to be the same YES! Cant tell you haw many times the ball was the only factor determining "feel". The putter changed when the Balata went away for the multi compound ball. Ie, change the ball, change the club(s). This is as much the deal as anything else. When that did happen the only thing that mattered for us guys that could hang around the putting green all day was the right ball for the putter you liked. The one that you stroked staight back and straight through the best. The B60 went in the closet for an Odyssey simply for the balls we could play and the stroke it produced; the ball we played had to work for the putter we liked. The B60 was a Balata machine, and a multi compound sledge hammer for me. Hitting a "solid" put is my only thought in the end. Many balls that I found over the years and were able to play didnt work for my putter, and they didnt work for me for that reason too. The Odyssey that replaced the B60 has stayed and the ball has changed to suit my putter more then anything over the years. The all fly right when you hit them right and "feel" was for the irons but the putter decided whether or not it was THE ball of choice. Chasing flat sticks was an endless cycle that changed very little I found, and the ball was the difference for that "feel" which is simply confidence in the end.

StrokerAce Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 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? Do you plan on sticking with a counterbalanced putter? If so what length?

Kenny B Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I was in our local golf store this week, and I always cruise through the putter section. I have been looking at the Ping Sigma G putters since I visited Ping HQ in February. One day it feels good, other days it doesn't. I looked at the TM Spider but I just couldn't bring myself to pick it up. I really don't like the look of big putters like that. However, right next to it was the TaylorMade OS CB Monte Carlo. The shortest one they make is 34.5 inches which is way to long for me, but the CB grip is long and I can take my normal stance and grip and not be on the steel. I made everything with that putter!! I had never used a CB model putter before, but I could be very tempted to get that one. I will be making several more trips to try it out again, just to see if it's a one night stand. “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...

rtbgolfer Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I am also tempted by the Spider because it seems like every single Tour player is playing it, which certainly suggests it is top quality. But I am still going to get fit for one. I was using one of the new throwback Ansers that came out last year but just pulled it from the bag last week in favor of going back to an older odyssey blade. I can't help myself on the tinkering... One other thing to consider is switching the grip. You can get grips that have a weight in the top of them which make them counterbalanced that also changes the feel a bit and could give you a chance to make more putts if having more weight near your hands works for you.

BrutusMaximus2015 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I switched last year to a counter balanced Scotty Cameron Newport. I'm never going back. Ive fooled around for years constantly buying putters. I love the look down the shaft off the "blade" and honestly what Scotty has done with this putter is amazing. Take a look. I know he is pricey but he's worth every penny. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it and made 9 out of 10 putts with it from 7 feet when they had the iPing cradle attached to it. I think they chose the Kushin for me because my putter is an anser-style putter, but I have been putting well in the store with the Tyne lately. I'm a retired engineer, so I will be looking for a looooong time before I make a change!! “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...
