RickyFlowers Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Hello all! I wanted to start this to just talk about putters. This seemed like the perfect place. I myself have gad probably 15 over the last 5 years. I find myself being a putter snob. I really enjoy old generation Scottys before they added removable weights. Those have the best feel to me and they are milled from one solid piece. Old Studio Designs were the best. I'm not into collecting I like to game everything. I am currently gaming a 2019 Copper Spider X. It was one of those putters I always liked the feel but never bought one situations. It took me a while to find one not chipped and scratched up but it is working out well for me.

Golf2Much Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 My backyard shed is full of putters I've tried, liked and then abandoned me! Everything from mainstream (Oddysey two ball...a couple of them actually) to somewhat obscure (a first-generation Brainstorm mallet Happy Putter). I have to say, my favorite is my current gamer: LAB Directed Force 2.1! My putting improved dramatically (almost two strokes gained per round) and I'm more confident when I get on the greens. I liked it so much I actually bought a backup on eBay just in case something happened to the one in my bag!

PrismFlopper Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Currently use a Odyseyy EXO Indianapolis putter. Not gonna lie I was new into golf, the guy let me use it for a round and the way it played and the price he was asking for what the value was, I had to pull the trigger. Now with more experience I looking for something a different, its still a great putter but its a little too soft off the face that I would like.

RickyFlowers Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 I see alot of people saying the LAB DF 2.1. I really think that's a ugly putter but hearing how much it has helped you all I may give it a shot and see. I would love to see a couple strokes gained if a ugly putter does that I'm all for it.

ctg44 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I got a Sik DW 2.0 C series (DW = double wide) with a double bend shaft at Christmas and since swapping out the grip for a Ping Blackout (PP58 I think) standard size pistol grip, I have gotten even better with it. It's a rare round that includes any 3 putts these days, and I usually end up with a lot of 1 putts.

APFA2315 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) PXG Bat Attack with the M16 shaft. Really liked it at first, but I’m increasingly thrown off by the weight and how soft it is.

Big moose Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Odyssey sabre tooth shortened 1 inch with a super stroke slim 1.0 grip. I wanted the heavy version but it was sold out so I put lead tape behind the face, it's the best putter I've ever owned, the putts go where I am aiming. It needs a new grip but I am afraid to change it so I wrapped it with grip tape that is used for tennis racquets.

funkyjudge Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) After playing an Evnroll ER2 (original model) putter for about 5 or 6 years, I was custom-fitted at Makefield Putters and now play one of their V-S model putters at 34” long, 67* lie angle (much flatter than I thought that I needed). It took me a while to adjust to the Makefield VS, due to its heavier weight and flatter lie angle, I believe, and I had some horrible putting rounds with it on my Myrtle Beach trip this April-May, including one 42-putt round. However, I am now putting very well with it and I have slowly grown to love the weight and feel of that putter. The loft of the Makefield putter is only 1.8 degrees and I cannot forward press as much as I was doing prior to owning this putter, but it gets the ball rolling quickly and not “skipping” on the green before it begins to roll. In addition, the super-heavy weight and extreme heel and toe weighting of the Makefield VS allow for a smoother and shorter stroke, which has helped with my accuracy, once I became more comfortable with these features. https://makefieldputters.com/products/Makefield-V-S-Putter-p453584494 Mine has the black double-bend shaft and a custom Sweet Rollz “O’Malley” grip on it, and the weights are set with heavy tungsten weights in the front and rear positions in the heel and toe “wings”, a lightweight aluminum weight toward the face in the center port and a very heavy tungsten weight at the extreme rear center position.
