DiscipleofPenick Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I had a Taylormade Rossa blade putter that I used from 2005-2013. I bought it new, and it was when TM first started putting gel-filled grooves in the putter face. Somehow the face got dented and that wrecked the grooves so I had to dump it. Now I've had a Odyssey Versa #7 for about 4 years. Very soft face, and I just cut it down to 32" and put the fattest grip Super Stroke makes on it. You'll have to pry it out of my cold hands.

Siamese Moose Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I have a La Jolla that I got fitted for in 2005. (By Dana Upshaw. I know some of you know him.) At the time I tracked my stats obsessively, and after two months with it my putts per round had dropped by 5 strokes. Who else can say one club dropped your handicap by 5? . I have started a lesson program this year, and at the first session I was getting a bit tired, so we took a break and Steve said, "Let's look at your putting." After about ten strokes he said, "Don't ever let anybody change a damn thing!" I have a backup Cleveland putter that is essentially identical, but I got it only in case something ever happens to the La Jolla. The Cleveland has never seen the course. sirchunksalot and mdgboxx 2 Quote Moose, my cat, is Siamese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puttmaster Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Odyssey Dual Force 662 (with the best putter insert ever made, imo) has spent the majority of the last 20+ years as my primary putter. It has outlasted and outperformed numerous Scottys, Betis, and other Odyssey. Recently purchased an Evnroll ERB2 and put it in the bag last week, but the DF 662 is faithfully standing by.

Crowev01 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I still game a Scotty Newport 2 mid slant my grandpa got me right before he died of cancer in 2000. He used to watch me practice from the truck when I was a kid, and I like to use it because it feels like he's still around. Not really a huge fan of the putter itself, but it has massive sentimental value. I take it out of my bag and bring it into the clubhouse with me so no one steals it. I have tried others, but it they just don't feel right. I'll probably use it for the rest of my life, I'll just have to wait at the shop someday for a week while they refinish it.

CPTBilly Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 From 2000 to 2020, my gamer was a Ping G2i - CRAZ-E. When I sent it in this Fall to PING for refurbish, I put a circa 1966 Version 3 Anser in the bag that I bought used for $20 in 1973, when I was on the high school golf team. The CRAZ-E may not make it back to the bag. HardcoreLooper 1 Quote I was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no lob wedge.

Mr. 82 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 From high school until 2005, which would be about 20 years, I used an old blade putter that my Dad gave me that has no brand. It was a POS, but it was free to me, and I was comfortable with it on the greens. I was working at a golf course in 2005 when I talked myself into getting a PING G5 B60 putter; mostly because they sold it to me at wholesale cost, which was like $87 or something like that. I used that one until a few years ago when I started to go crazy and swap out putters here and there. So I guess that's 12-13 years in the bag with that one. I bought a PING Sigma Stealth Tyne, using credit from clubs I had traded in just last year. The shaft had issues, so I sent it back to PING to have it fixed. While it was getting fixed I put a TaylorMade Ghost Spider putter that my Dad gave me in the bag, and magic started happening on the greens. The Spider has a bunch of nicks and dents and paint chips on it, but man, it just feels so good to roll on the greens. I may play this one for the next 10-20 years - who knows. sirchunksalot 1 Quote G400 Driver XR 4 Fairway 16.5° Fli-Hi Utility Iron - 21° G Series 5-9 irons SM7 46°, 50°, 54° & 58° Ghost Spider S putter Nexus Laser Rangefinder Garmin Approach S20 GPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
