SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave 1,562 Posted March 7, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted March 7, 2010 That is a big chunk of putter... Notch in the top line for alignment?

Funkyfedora 1 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Between a squareback and an anser 2. It felt great. The notch is for alignment I believe.

Matt Saternus 31 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Huh. To me, it hides its size pretty well. I actually had to go back and look again after I read the hefty comment. Quote Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to post Share on other sites
SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave 1,562 Posted March 7, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted March 7, 2010 I saw a lot of squareback there. Notch system seems quite common (Cleveland, etc.). I had a VP milled and the notch was more of a distraction than a helper.

PoorGolfer 1 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Are older models slotline putters worth anything? I have a friend who has one from the 80's I think and he thinks it's trash. Quote Addicted to golf since February 2008 Best Score: 89 Birdies: 12 Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Saternus 31 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I agree on the notch system being very distracting. Similarly, I don't like the system on SeeMore's and I don't even like "T" sightlines. I just need the putter to look symmetrical (not quite the right word, but close) at address so I can focus on the hole. With notches, etc, I'm busy watching the notch instead of the ball.

jamo 16 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have a Nike OZ Black putter that sort of has a slot to line up the line with, I never use it. Quote Click here to view all of my scores and stats for the 2010 golf season. Link to post Share on other sites

I have a friend who has one from the 80's I think and he thinks it's trash. Not much. I have an old 8802-style slotline putter. Very nice, but not an investment. I agree on the notch system being very distracting. Similarly, I don't like the system on SeeMore's and I don't even like "T" sightlines. I just need the putter to look symmetrical (not quite the right word, but close) at address so I can focus on the hole. With notches, etc, I'm busy watching the notch instead of the ball. I just square the face to the target line and let it roll. One of our regulars swears by the site line, always lining it up with the sharpie line on the ball. Once they are in alignment he swings, usually missing. Trust the metal, not the paint.

MmmmmmBuddy 1,246 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 we have a bunch of retail Slotline putters in the shop. Not a ton of action on them though.

NGage 4 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Wow....this thread brings back memories. A Slotline putter was my first "real" fancy putter. Actually, a set of Slotline Inertial E-Max clubs was my first new real set. Wow....long time ago. Here's a pic of the putter and E-Max clubs: Ok...can't find a pic of the irons, but they had the same gold weight type ports on the heel and toe of the irons. They looked kinda like Ping Eye2 (like everything else in the 80's), but had a black backing with the gold heel/toe weights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if there are any gimmicks, but the sight line/notch pairing never works for me. OTW I really like the thick top line on this one. Reminds me of the older Newports.
