Nice to see I’m not the only guy around here who prefers to line up seeing just a white golf ball. 
 

I passed my PAT on my first attempt with a DFX 2 Ball and I would love to give it another shot. I liked it when I played around with one on Friday at my local shop. Who knows, maybe my impulses will get the best of me...

I agree the look of the 2 blank balls doesn’t work for me. I much preferred the way the triple track broke up the the “blank canvas” of the traditional 2 ball design even more so than the the single line. I’m really leaning towards the 2 Ball Ten Triple Track. It just felt amazing to me and it’s aesthetics were more pleasing. It also didn’t hurt that I was putting well with it. Granted it was a indoors at a store but I was able to putt to a PuttOut and while it didn’t hold every time they were “made” putts. 😜

Thats the nest thing about golf, something so drastically different—Triple Track vs No markings on the two ball—can be viewed so differently by players.   
 

I’m firmly in the camp of not liking the TT visual, but as I mentioned esrlier, i can’t dispute it’s effectiveness for some, that I have watched putt with it.

Definitely not a fan either. I find them distracting.

I'm usually not a big fan of mallets but I bought the Ten S with the single line and initial results are it may be a game changer. Easiest putter to line up I've ever seen.

I've been using CS putters most of my life, and finally pulled the trigger on the Odyssey Stroke Lab CS V line, 35" with the pistol grip. To my eyes it's as ez as it gets to line up, and the insert is like butter. Putting has always been the strongest part of my game, however I can only see it getting better with this club.

I am always trying different mallets but always coming back to the same style of putter. I used the Ping Nome TR for years now I am using a Ping Ketsch. The only other putter that has come close is the 2 ball but not a huge fan of inserts. I think my eye just likes a more rounded mallet with alignment features on top and right up to the ball.  
 

that being said I always read the articles and always want to try the latest and greatest. They just don’t always work for me.

I still have the original Ping Ketsch. The one Ping had to stop making due to patent infringement with Guerin Rife. Something with the grooves.

My Nome had those grooves and I loved them, but after 8 years They got banged up and it was time to replace. Now I have a Heppler Ketsch.

New Odyssey putters with alignment aid - just too much to look at.  I still haven’t found a good replacement for my old Rife 2 Bar Hybrid. Usually use the heavier weights. Any ideas?

I like a heavier putter and the Heppler Ketsch has been great for me but I would also look at Evnroll putters, they are desisigned by Guerin Rife!

I hav3 a Cleveland HB Soft 11, but prefer my Evnroll ER6 and ER2 as they roll so smooth and have some weight. ER2 255 gram and ER6 275 gram.

I’ve fiddled around with the 2-ball TT design in stores and like others have said, I just can’t get past it. However, I do have a clam shell and mark all my golf balls with three lines every time I play ... for me, it just works. 

I’ll also add that if my putt has a hard break and my line is several feet left/right of the hole, I actually turn it over to its all white side and putt that way. More of a feel thing for me on those big breaking putts and no matter the line, it never quite feels right.

I was struggling with pulling putts and decided it was time to get fit. SAM numbers had the best fit for me with 2 Ball Ten S (Tour Line). I was never a line on my ball guy, but have tried it the past couple rounds. Combination of putter fitting (3* upright), Tour Line, and line on ball make it nearly impossible for me to not get aligned properly and start my putts on line. No 3 putts in last couple rounds and average putts down to 31 (from 36.5). Hands down the best roll I’ve ever gotten with a putter. The Microhinge face is a little “clicky” but I’m not caring if the putts are dropping.

I can’t stand the look of the two ball, just have never liked it, it looks almost gimmicky to me personally, but it obviously works for many.

I recently switched from a SC Newport Pro Platinum 2 I was gaming for years to an Odyssey Ten Triple Track. I was having a lot of issues seeing the line, and found the triple track really works well for me, and I like the ‘spider’ shape. Hoping this is it for me for a bit, but I think with my straight back straight through it’s time to switch to mallet tech. 

I returned the TM Spider EX, I liked the look, but didn’t like the feel, or lack there of, I could barely tell when I hit the ball. The Odyssey has a nice sound and feel.

I rolled the new Ping 2021 putters at Dicks today.  Dayuummmmmm  I nearly had an orgasm!  I'm a soft off the face fan so I was slobbering like a stud bull in a pen full of heifers.... 😍  The fetch model (handy for old folks) had the hole covered up and I loved the alignment aids...   Gawd help me Jesus I nearly bought one off the cuff.......   😳

My wife is on bed rest for a heart condition, so I'm the designated shopper. While out today I stopped at a thrift store and found a new BAT stand up putter for $2.00. Lol

I personally don't like the feel, however that alignment aid works!
