Although it has been released, I took these pics a long time ago and thought I would share.

I saw a couple similar version on the senior tour before they released the line. Is that where you saw it?

Thats where my buddy got it from. Some tourny in AZ I think.

That is a big chunk of putter... Notch in the top line for alignment?

[Funkyfedora 1]

Between a squareback and an anser 2. It felt great. The notch is for alignment I believe.

[Matt Saternus 34]

Huh. To me, it hides its size pretty well. I actually had to go back and look again after I read the hefty comment.

[GolfSpy Dave 1,641]

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.

I know a guy that used electric tape on it when I let him borrow it.

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.

[Matt Saternus 34]

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 have a Nike OZ Black putter that sort of has a slot to line up the line with, I never use it.

Not much. I have an old 8802-style slotline putter. Very nice, but not an investment.

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.

Very nice looking putter. Wonder if anybody on Tour will use them.

we have a bunch of retail Slotline putters in the shop. Not a ton of action on them though. Good putters, just at the wrong price point.

How much do they retail for in your shop?

[NGage 4]

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.

i'm so much of a feel player I can't handle these mechanical-like gimmicks

What Gimmick are you referring to? The insert feels soooooooo soft.

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.

I don't think it is a gimmick. I define a gimmick as something that doesn't work. This seems to work.
