LinksgolfFever Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 The putter is good, I am going between my Cameron super select and the Zebra green speed dependent. Honestly for me it has been coming down to confidence. Slower greens I do better with the Zebra, anything faster than 10 I have struggled with it…. golf is great Quote B_LinksGolf "Any day golfing is better than a day in the office" What's in the Bag: Driver: Callaway Rogue ST 3diamond LS: Tensei raw blue 65g stiff 3w/5w: Callaway Rogue ST LS: Tensei raw blue 65g stiff 4i-6i: Callaway '24 Apex CB/Modus 3 130 X-stiff 7i-10i: Callaway '24 Apex MB/Modus 3 130 X-stiff Wedges: Callaway Jaws Raw (matte black) 50ºs-grind/54ºs-grind/58ºz-grind Putter: Callaway AI-one Jailbird mini DB 35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguybadatgolf Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Quick update: I switched back to my old gamer (taylormade ardmore 3) and have found my ability to get the speed right is much better on longer putts than the Zebra. I can start the ball on my line a little bit better with the Zebra but I am prone to leaving it short or far too long once I get past 20 feet. My hunch is that because it’s rather heavy and large compared to the Ardmore 3 I don’t have the same feel and have a hard time trusting my gut on the speed. On putts 15 feet and in I still prefer the Zebra. But if I’m playing a links style course or one with huge greens I might leave it at home. This is just my own mental weirdness and might not be an issue for everyone.

tony@CIC Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 With our move to Florida and my head cold, I haven't played much over the past 4 weeks. Since we got here 2 weeks ago, I played about 4 times and practiced a bit in between to get use to Bermuda greens. Yesterday, I think every thing clicked as I'm back to my original form with the AIT4. Yesterday, I sank a number of 1 putts and missed a few just a roll away and no 3 putts. Had a great up and down for a birdie on a par 5 (our #2 handicap hole). I'm still liking this putter, can't quite explain what it is about the putter that's leading to success but it works. It's definitely staying in the bag - at least until it misbehaves. cciciora13 1 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony@CIC Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Just an update - after playing about an additional doz. rounds since my last update, the AIT4 is performing very well - so much so that I permanently retired my O Works. aguybadatgolf 1 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhammer Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Question for the testers, and forgive me if this has been asked before, but how did the black finish on the putters hold up during testing? Seeing the pictures in the review article of the testing, it appeared that the finish has worn off quite a bit over a short period of time. Was that your experience or just bad lighting in some of the images? Thanks HH Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what’s causing it as I have never dropped it on anything but grass and always have the head cover on.

I even utilize the wings to pick up the ball on occasion and notice minimal damage. I think I had bad lighting with some of the pictures I took.

Deepred Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I'm a definite believer in being able to pick up a ball with the putter even if it only happens a few times a round so the AT2 would probably be my choice. That being said in pictures it kinda looks like two different heads glued together. Lol I wish I still had my black deep face zebra.
