perseveringgolfer Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 My putting is poor.........actually it's appalling. I have worked out I like a milled face over an insert, blades sit well with my eye but dont perform well, off centre hits are short or hooked (yes I can hook a putt lol) I tried the TM Spider X today and it sits really well but the insert is so soft. Any recommendations on a mallet about the Spider X size but with a hard milled face?

azstu324 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I really like my Cleveland HB #11. I've rolled them all and just can't find a reason to look elsewhere. It's got some good weight at 370g without being an oversized profile. With a superstroke flatso 3.0 it's an awesome setup and won't break the bank. The new "soft" lineup is supposed to be that much better. the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get.. russtopherb, perseveringgolfer and jbsdaddy 3 Quote PXG 0311 Gen 5 9°/ Fujikura MotoreX F1 6X F6 3 Wood 14* / Kuro Kage Silver 65X F8 6 wood 20* / Fujikura MotoreX F3 6S RADSpeed Hybrid 24* TS1 4-GW / FCM Precision 6.5 Rifle TSW Wedge - 56/12 EAS 1.0 / Grip master 2.0 MAXFLI Tour CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlH Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The Bettinardi arm lock putter that I'm testing has a really nice small mallet milled head.

dhartmann34 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Have you gone through a putter fitting at all? Getting in the machine can give you an ideal putter type, along with specs... Which in my experience can be game changing.... As in dropping 3.6 strokes a round off of your game. That was instrumental in bringing down my handicap the past few years. Knowing how the ball is going to roll every time is confidence building for sure.

azstu324 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Just a quick return note on this one, if you haven't seen the testing announcement for the Tommy Armour Impact putter, the testers have been announced so it would definitely be something worth following. And per the 2019 mallet putter segment on MGS, it's earned a top spot for the 2nd year. I think it goes for something like $99 USD.
