How many putters do you currently have in your storage area?

[Arnie C]

I have about 20 putters in my collection but out of the 20, 12 of them are in my rotation. My favorite putter though is a Scotty Cameron Sonoma Classic that I had refinished. I also put a Evnroll Gravity Grip that provides awesome feel and touch.

I have one putter an odyssey sabre tooth. I wanted the heavy one but nobody had it so I added weight myself until I got it just right. I also put on a super stroke grip. I am not ever changing to another putter.

Read this today on Geoff Mangum's forum.  As you can tell from what he post,  he doesn't think the putter matters and he also thinks most putting instruction is bad. 

Putters shmutters — who cares? It’s a flat piece of metal on a stick, swing it to roll the ball straight sideways.

Whatever the design — too short, too much loft, skinny grip, lousy shaft, old and rusty … really, put your Big Boy pants on and putt.

If you need to figure out how to putt skillfully with a weirdo putter, well, that’s your J.O.B., so figure it out.

No putt too tough to sink, no putter so ugly it should be spurned.

irrelevant question.  The qualifications of an instructor has nothing to do with how many majors or tournaments they have won.  Often players that have decided to coach really aren't good instructors.

He is not wrong.  I have had my issues on the greens over the years and what I found out is confidence is everything.  I went through a stretch where I could not make anything for a few months, had five or six people look at my stroke including two guys that played on Tour........and nothing.  They told me not to change a thing and my stroke was fine.  What I had to change was my mindset and get out of the thought that I couldn't putt and into the thought that it was a strength.  Had a good friend of mine build my Frankenstein and it has worked for two years now.  The guys I played with in VA had never seen the dark days and all they knew was that I was above average on the greens at worst and if I got hot it was going to be a really good day.

I have been reading a lot of his stuff recently;  just trying to get a little better at all the aspects of golf.  I have started to agree that he isn't wrong.  He is pretty straightforward that putting isn't hard;  basically aim the putter correctly and then stoke it square to the line.  He does dive deep into the science behind his approach which is way too complicated for me.

Ohh man these look nice. Maybe I’ll add another.

[Rob Person]

I wasn't going to chime in here. But I acquired these thrift store items today.

9.99 + tax for the bag, clubs in the bag included.

I have not been able to find ANY information on the webz about the AIMGOLF BP12 putter. Its heavy though. 

so i have my 25+ year old blade, the raycook sr500 mallet, the AI-ONE DB,  and now these 3 putters. 

[Boogy Bob]

I have seven, one dating back to the 40's. A Geo Low putter. My latest gamer is a Cleveland Soft 4 with a milled face. Love it.

I have my gamer - a custom fit Edel. Then I have 1 backup if I get in a slump or need a new look with different alignment. Shockingly, it usually reinforces that the properly fit putter performs better and I need to work on setup and fundamentals if I am having trouble aiming and making short putts with the Edel. Their weighting always seems to produce the best distance control and least 3 putts. 

I used to keep 2 backups, but 1 was more sentimental as I had sub-30 putts with it. Eventually gave up the dream and sold it off (was a cheap TM). 

I got custom fit for my Edel at the factory. Even met David and chatted for a while. Super smart guy. I haven't hit another putter since and I honestly don't think I ever will. 

[JAMGOLF]

I have 13 extra putters. I love Scotty Cameron putters and seem to constantly buy more and more of them. My wife thinks I have a an addiction. I have sold 12 putters in the last year though.  Photo is just part of the collection.

A Zebra ,Ping Anser 2, Bullseye. All OG.

I only have my gamer, no need for any more, it would just confuse me.

[Mrs. Golf]

I was fitted for a PXG  Closer putter with 2 15 ounce weights.  I have 2 Scotty's a Futura 6 and a Golio S5 center shaft.  I use to have alot but sold them all.

How was the PXG putter fitting experience? I really like the aesthetic of the PXG putter line up.

It is now easy for me to own up to the fact that I do NOT have more than this.  I do have more than one.  Whew, I feel better now.

Nick Foles signed my son’s jersey at practice when he was just a little guy. One of the best days of his life.

I currently have 2 with another on its way. I have an ODYSSEY LAUNCH LIMITED EDITION EXO 2-BALL PUTTER 35" beautiful looking putter, more of a collectors item than my gamer, then I have a Enroll EV2 34" with a BGT Fire Stability shaft which has been my gamer, very surprised that this putter has out performed so many other putters that I have owned over the years as I won't go into how different ones I have ever owned that would be impossible to name them all. My next putter that should be here by April will be what I hope will be my last and that is the LAB DF3 Green 34" w/ BGT Stability Tour One shaft. I have always putted very well with center shafted putters as it has been awhile since I last owned one so I thought why not go with something that can only help as Putting is 46% of the game. Pictures later when my gamer gets here.

This thread makes me feel a little better lol

i have 5 putters and 2 in the bag right now

sometimes I hate being a golf tinkerer 

[ctg44]

I have 1 and only 1....a Sik 2.0 C Series DW in the black finish.  It's a mallet in blade clothing and just flat-out rocks.  I haven't had an average of over 30 putts a round in I can't remember how long, and went multiple weeks playing multiple times a week last year without a 3-putt with sketchy ball-striking skills hampering my proximity to the hole data.

[Big moose]

One, the one I'm using. 

[Mrs. Golf]

I use a PXG Closer putter, I have a Meridan putter I won, I have. Scotty futura 6 and a Scotty Golio center shaft

[Rob Person]

I made a big mistake today.  I was browsing in a golf store today and randomly saw a lonely putter just being absolutely shamed to no end. They put it in a back corner behind a staff bag full of new putters.  I meandered  over and moved the bag and pulled it out from hiding. It had a jumbo max grip, a red shaft, and it was a lefty. I plucked a few balls from the practice cup and began rolling it.  This putter was just buttery smooth. Sank 8/10 putts from 16 feet and in. The other 2 misses were by inches. I  got brave and finally flipped it over. It had a nice orange clearance sticker stating  it was 99$. Ladies and gentlemen,  I am NOT the proud owner of this gem. Its an Odyssey stroke lab mallet putter.

I asked the counter guy how long it had been there, and he said he didn't even realize it was sitting back there... 

I asked him to call me in a week if it's still there, and I may go back for it. Been looking for another left handed putter for awhile now.

Do they let lefties play on the RTJ trail?

Thats why I have a normal person putter that I use mostly.  But occasionally I get that itch to go back to right brained putting.

[Donn lost in San Diego]

One.  I gave away a nice David Musty wooden mallet when I learned what face balanced meant, and traded in a face bal Scotty with wings (Futura X), when I found a dandy slightly used bargain, an Odyssey "R Ball" with the graphite 2 piece Stroke Lab shaft.  Would like to shorten it a bit, but don't think the grip is a simple affair.
