Would you pay $2,500 for a customized putter with ground breaking technology?

[ballplayer002003]

HELL NO.  You can put all the tech into a putter but until you change my arms, my shoulders, my feet, my eyes, my brain and decision making skills on the greens it wont matter!

[azstu324]

I can't imagine a putter with more tech, craftsmanship, and personal attention than the Edel EAS.. and for $450, that's pricey but worth it.

Man that's some spensive paint fill..

I purchased the mallet version of this putter last year, going to be honest, it's sitting in my garage gathering dust. The feel of it was not good. Too hard when hitting the ball, felt like you were hitting the ball with something super stiff and super hard. The feel was just off for me.

I'll give you $50 for it

lol I did try and sell it a month or so after I got it, no takers. I think I will keep it as a keepsake.

Thanks for the honest feedback on the putter. Seems you just validated what we all were thinking. Hope you get a buyer.

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.

LA Golf has a new putter claiming to be ground breaking. However, the cost is also  just as ground breaking. 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.

You are completely on the right track.  I believe confidence is as important as anything when it comes too putting.  A good putter fitting goes a long way too.

 I had the opportunity to roll one and it does roll the ball well.   The best description I heard was that it looks like trex decking material and as a result it doesn't look very polished.  

 

Would I buy one;  No.  

It's just more LOW CG putter when we all know that a low CG is good for getting the ball UP in the air and last time I checked that is NOT what you want to do when putting. So I big fat NO for me.

Actually you do want launch. It's just a matter, just like fitting any club, of being fit. Ball launching higher due to low CG means you just need to play a lower loft. 

I suggest watching one of the great TXG putting fitting videos. They do a great job of explaining optimal launch by marrying up CG, loft and the players stroke

Why did you quote me to post this? doesnt seem related to what I said.

NO I don't. I want the ball to roll as soon as possible. Maybe YOU want to launch the ball into the air but I don't and I don't know anyone that does. And that is why when I designed my putter I built it with a High CG to roll the ball and NOT launch it up into the air, and it's why my putter design rolls the ball batter than any putter that I have tried and I have tried dozens of them over the last 212 years. I had a dozen golf instructors try my putter and every one of them preferred my [utter over theirs. My design just rolled the ball better than theirs, which is what they all wanted in a putter.

Sorry about that, I didn't mean to quote you. My mistake. 

[DStar]

There's not a chance I'd pay that much for any club.

I'm guessing the individual parts may be cerakote coloured as you wouldn't paint threads etc. It's an expensive method but not $2.5k expensive..

Ah I see. This is a sales and marketing thing
