I had good distance control but I can't say it is any better than any other putter in the market. People use the term "stable" to describe the new graphite shafts and since it has an LA Golf shaft people would probably say it is stable. I personally don't understand how that term applies; what do you mean by stable? Any putter that fits your stroke would be stable.

Golf2Much Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I'd have to say no, I would not spend $2500 for a whole set of clubs let alone a putter. I can't imagine my putting stroke being able to truly take advantage of the stated breakthroughs.

I personally don't understand how that term applies; what do you mean by stable? Any putter that fits your stroke would be stable. I was only quoting what they said on the golf channel as far as stable. I agree with your assessment. I think it is a gimmick to justify using different materials and then calling it ground breaking. I believe hood putters can putt with anything. Heck Lee Trevino hustled people using a coke bottle as the putter head. GolfSpy_APH 1 Quote Play like a champion today!

Javs Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 So, out of pure curiosity I sent an email to them and asked if they gave any military discount. They offered a 25 percent discount. Still not biting! Then I asked the price if I did not want to change the color and only wanted the standard putter with a length and lie adjustment. They told me they could do that for $1500. Still a no, but heck I already have them down a grand, ha ha. GolfSpy_APH, David Leighton Reid, silver & black and 2 others 1 4 Quote Play like a champion today!

T McKinnon Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I have gone through a lot of putters in my golf life (currently have 4 putters in the rotation) and I'm "tempted" to get another one. My problem with putting has nothing to do with the putter, it is the six inches between the ears that is my major problem. When I begin to have a confidence problem, I rotate to another putter in the quiver and the problem with putting is solved for a few months. To me it has very little to do with the actual putter club and more to do with one's mind. Don't waste your money on such an expensive putter, get some mental help! Or, have a few less expensive putters in your putter rotation when you need to look at something different while putting, helping to put your mind at ease. Heck, I purchased a customized putter last year with custom colors, weights and shaft and it's in rotation with the other putters in my quiver.

Not sure I would go there, would you? can buy a can of spray paint in any color I want for about $3.00 so why would I or anyone else pay $2500 for a paint job? Not sure how Paint that has been around for thousands of years can be called ground breaking technology? This is just one more reason I think L.A. Golf has their heads up their butts.
