cnosil Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 The issue I have with the winner is there’s no ability to get one made to my specifics. With all of the other makers I can get that. Yeah, I’m not an “off-the-rack” guy. I see the face on the winner has been milled, but what’s the “tech”????Depending on what specifics you are looking for, a club maker should be able to make any change an OEM can make for you. Is there “tech” in the putter? Probably depends on the persons definition but no real roll technology. What I actually like about this putter is that it is smaller heel to toe and made it easy to setup behind the ball.

That’s because we all bought Evnrolls before TA took the crown and you’d have to pry our Evnrolls out of our cold dead hands. There are a few of TA’s floating around on the forum though.

Bingo Cnosil, that was the first thing I noticed when I rolled in it Dick's yesterday while I was there taking some in store photos of the TP5 Pix. Anything that's easier to align is going to help and that's why I think it's so good from that middle distance. I wasn't crazy about the feel, but for alignment it's pretty damn great. And again, I think it's important to note, and maybe this is more for those dopes in the article comments, this is not a "be all end all" list and anyone using it as such isn't getting the point. Sure, some putters will perform slightly better than others, but this should be a jumping off point for you, the consumer, to begin your search. It gives you enough information as to not go in blind and maybe make a suggestion or two to the employee or fitter you are working with. cksurfdude 1 Quote In a Hoofer Lite bag TSR2, 10 degrees, A1 setting, Fujikara Speeder NX Blue 50-S Stealth, 15 degrees, VA Composites Nemesys 70-S E722, 19 degrees, Oban Devotion 80-S JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro 4-P, Nippon 950GH Stiff Flex CBX Zipcore 50* (bent to *49) and RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 54* (bent to *55), DG 115 Spinner, Tour Issue Staff Model TG 60*, Dynamic Gold 120 S300 SIK Golf Flo-C Tour B-XS (2022 Model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are interpreting the percentages as make percents and not the percent of players that it was best for with statistical significance. In other cases it is just people who didn’t see their putter on top or in the test and just say the test isn’t right. I have my thoughts on the scoring process and have expressed them in a thread last year, but I am not a statistical analysis expert and MGS can score the tests how they determine to be the best. The putter isn’t bad, but there are a lot of factors that every player need a to take into account when selecting and fitting themselves to a putter. I personally think that we should test our gamer putter as part of the test to see if we see improvements over our gamers; probably only relevant to the tester themself, but since I am one of the testers would be nice for me to know. cksurfdude, PMookie, Berg Ryman and 2 others 5 Quote 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...

It ends up costing me as much as anything else. Too much hassle. Anyway, nothing against the putter at all, just as I stated, I’m not buying a putter off-the-rack.

cksurfdude Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 In an extremely UN-scientific test over the winter I'd gone into a PGATSS and tried a few different EvnRoll models vs my then-current putter ... I ended up picking the ER5 (33", 385g head - which I didn't even buy there, picked up a like new used off Budget Golf). It's nice to see the "validation" that I made a smart choice, but even if it finished DL in the MGS rankings I'd be using it, it's working well for me and I'm comfortable with it silver & black, JohnSmalls and Kenny B 3 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

With the Juno and TA winning this year, it seems that face-tech isn’t as crucial anymore. I know the video you are referring to. I still think face tech is beneficial for long term performance gains. The TM putters did redesign their pure roll insert so there is some claim of an insert that Tries to improve the roll. What we don’t see in the results is miss dispersion/speed control. In these two 30 foot putt scenarios which putter would you pick:1. No makes with all missed putts stopping within 1 foot of the hole both shot and long and all second putts made.2. 1 make and missed putts are within 3 feet both short and long of the hole and all second putts made. I personally would lean toward scenario 1. The make isn’t as important as the lack of distance control. I have as much as 6 feet of difference at the distance. The example now starts looking at the benefit of face tech and fitting. I can assure you that the scenarios I described above are real as they happened to me during the testing. During the blade and mallet testing I had 1 3 putt and everything else was 2 putts or less and I had to make a few 3+ footers for the second putt. silver & black, MaxEntropy, PMookie and 3 others 6 Quote 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...

Can I assume that the testing is on basically flat surface with very little break? What about direction of putts? Are putts made in two directions? I am asking because some surfaces have different speeds in opposite directions. 6 feet of difference from 30 feet seems like a lot to me. I would be disappointed with that.

I would be disappointed with that. I assume that was with your not-so-favorite putter. It is basically a flat surface and we roll the putts in one direction. I have putted both ways on the surface and the speed is pretty equal in both directions. I probably exaggerated a little on the distance disparity to better illustrate my point. We only putt from 20 as the longest, I did have a couple of putts with close to that miss distance. The really short ones were the result of a really bad stroke and the long a reaction to leaving putts short due to a not so hot face. Rolling all the putters does give you a good feel for how they would perform on the course. Some faces are hotter and some not so much. You do start to notice a trend with individual putters. I try to make the same stroke length and tempo with each stroke but sometimes when you see a long or short putt you make adjustments. some putters you just struggle with at certain distances. One I felt like I rolled the ball well at 10 and 20 feet, but it was really hot off the face and either I made the 5 footer or blew it by the hole becuase I couldn't get a feel for that short of a stroke length due to the design of the putter.

PlaidJacket Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Not at all surprised. I am a guy that sucker'd myself into buying an expensive custom built putter. Why? Just because I guess. I putted great before the buy with a $39 putter. I putt just as good with the $ouch$ putter. No difference and nobody was impressed either.

Most sessions are 6-8 putters and the look can vary widely for each putter. At least with blades they are somewhat similar, but with mallets the designs vary greatly. Generally I warmup with one of the collection of putters that are on the wall just to get a feel for the distances. No practice putts before you start with a new test putter so you may be surprised at how far the ball goes withe the first putt.

This one will probably be in my bag for a very long time.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote PXG 0211 12° driver w/Project X Cypher R flex shaft KE4 TC 16° 4 wood w/Kuro Kage Black 60g shaft KE4 TC HyWay 21° utilitywood w/Maltby MPF shaft KE4 TC 22° 4 hybrid w/UST Proforce V2 Black shaft KE4 TC 25° 5 hybrid w/Mitsubishi Tensei CK Blue shaft Lazrus 27° 6 hybrid w/Lazrus graphite shaft PXG 0211DC irons 7-PW w/Project X Cypher graphite shafts CBX2 50° wedge M-Series+ 56° wedge w/UST Recoil 660 graphite shaft Infinite Bean putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Guess who's bagging a Spider X? It is on my serious consider list. I pick it up every time I go to do testing or see it in a store. It just feels really good. I want to do some head to head comparisons against a slant neck #7 and see who comes out on top. ole gray 1 Quote 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...

It puts a really smooth roll on the ball and I like the look at setup which inspires confidence. I may go with a larger super stroke grip however that will be after the honey moon period. Mine is the blue one and it's one sharp looking putter! cnosil 1 Quote Ping G430 Max Driver 10.5 Degree Titleist TSR1 4, 5, & 6 Hybrids Titleist T350 Irons 7 - W48 Cleveland CBX ZipCore 52 56 & 60 Degree Wedges LAB Mezz Max Broomstick Putter / TPT Shaft (Platinum @ 45/78) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Odyssey #7 would definitely be something I wouldn't mine putting to the test. cnosil 1 Quote Ping G430 Max Driver 10.5 Degree Titleist TSR1 4, 5, & 6 Hybrids Titleist T350 Irons 7 - W48 Cleveland CBX ZipCore 52 56 & 60 Degree Wedges LAB Mezz Max Broomstick Putter / TPT Shaft (Platinum @ 45/78) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bardle Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Made it to DSS and rolled this thing. Was basically a wasted trip. I like the weight on it and it feels good on contact but the putting green is so small and shaggy at DSS that I have no clue how good the thing actually putts. They have heavy security devices on every other putter so the weight is weird so I can't compare it either....
