Not sure what bottom weights you have, but you can find the weight kits cheap if you look in the right places. Have you changed them to lighter ones?

I have the 15s lowest I've seen is 10. So I was gonna just gonna leave them and get use to it 

[Woodrow72]

After my fitting today , it’s going to be the Edel Array putter 

[buckpillar]

Throwing this out there in case I forget.. its the Odyssey AI CH#1 

[TimmyD001]

Odyssey #1White Hot.   For years.

Ping Anser , yes I know everyone is sick of seeing it but it deserves an applause.

[David Leighton Reid]

My new go to putter is Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11.5.  I have sold my other two putters since acquiring the Phantom X 11.5.

 

[GolfSpy_BEN]

My current go-to putter is the LAB Mezz1.Max

but my White Hot Versa Double Wide is always lurking, waiting to be called into action

and honestly, they could both get traded in on a DF3.0, so

That's one strong ACE Reliever

I like putting with it too much, to part with it. But it also plants a seed of doubt any time I miss a putt I should make with the LAB. There is definitely an element of “why do you do this to yourself” with my putters. 

[KNS6005]

Odyssey White Hot CH7. Just bought this new.. Similar to my old putter which face was damaged.

There is a near 100% chance that another LAB makes it way into my bag soon.

The more time I spend on this forum the more tempted I am to go drop the money on a LAB... I have to see if it lives up to the hype.

I’ve used a blade with a lot of toe hang for years. Switch to a high-MOI face-balanced mallet this year and started making putts.

one of the young pro's at our course just ordered a LAB blade putter, I am going to "steal" it and hit a few on the practice putting green, I will report back...

 

Update, felt really good, interestingly it is not a toe hang or face balance but a "Heel Hang" 1st. and only time I have seen that. It rolled the ball really well and solid, didn't feel heavy at all.

That is interesting, I have never thought about a “ heel hang”!

Even though I love my putter , I like to try new things and see what’s up and coming . I may get surprised one day but not likely .

I always invest more in a fitting than the newest and shiniest club that comes along . For instance, my Ping Anser was bent to 2* of loft ( standard is 3.5*) which really helps me with a better roll in general . One of my friends , works at Club Champion in Roswell  Georgia and after getting my first set of custom clubs to specs , It really made a huge turn around in my game . Not anything spectacular at once per se’ but after slowly getting acclimated to my clubs and I got more consistent.
My newest addition was my Taylormade Stealth 9 wood with a Fujikura Ventus 7 S shaft which replaced my 4 iron replacement ,roughly . That was with my friends direction and guidance. Wow I couldn’t be happier . It’s a solid 200 yard club and it’s making a huge difference on long par 4s and the par 5s.

I let my ego get in the way of what would help me play better and now I realize that ,what we think we need or want isn’t always what need !

I lucked into a used nearly new Odyssey R Ball with Stroke Lab multi material shaft. Face balanced. Micro hinge face.  The R ball is similar to a 2 Ball.  Love it.  Will adjust the lie, I have long arms so my hands are closer to the ground and the toe is too low, the heel is up.  I live near a bunch of stores with lots of used gear.  Been stalking them over a year before this baby turned around, looked at me,  and said, Take me home, Big Boy.

i know eh, I was really surprised, it is centre shafted with two big weights on either end, so strange

There have been a few toe up/torque balanced/heel down designs over the years: Edel, Odyssey, EvnRoll, and boutique brand Machine have all had models.   surprised your not that familiar with the concept especially since their Mezz Max model is somewhat popular on tour and has been talked about a lot on the tour broadcasts.   I guess maybe you don't follow the equipment trends and WITB for tour pros.

ahh, I didn't know that, interesting, yeah I don't follow equipment trends much, I found myself following more 2 years ago when I decided to replace most of my equipment, which is why I started following MGS. All of my tools were at least 8 years old except my driver, putter and wedges, now I am looking at changing out my Rocket Balls 3 wood so have been checking MGS 3 wood 2023 testing results. I do follow WITB though, I find that interesting, but I like following more on the champions tour and LPGA as their swing speeds (average) are closer to mine.

As you know from our past discussions,  putters are my area of focus when it comes to equipment.  I know about other clubs because I test them all for MGS but who uses what on the tours isn't something I really focus on. 

 3 woods are interesting;  some professional players change them fairly frequently and others keep them in the bag forever.   

I don't know if you have looked here: https://www.pgaclubtracker.com/  but it is a pretty good for someone that wants to see who is playing what on the PGA tour.   Hard to find the WITB for Champions and LPGA players.

Scotty Cameron Newport 2. Bought new back in the day. It just works.

[spidergoose7]

For me, it’s the old Scotty Cameron Newport. The feedback is what I always wanted in a putter. I’ve played some soft face putters (not looking at you Odyssey) where everything felt like butter, but you lose some feedback as everything feels great off the face. The consistency and trust I have in my Newport is phenomenal. I can’t see myself switching anytime and am going on 5 years strong with my model.

Ping vault 2.0 ZB is my main go to when my Tyne4 PLD isn't feeling great

[fozcycle]

Currently I am gaming my old Evnroll ER6-R.  It’s a mallet that just works for me.

[putt4dough007]

My go to is a LAB Golf Mezz Max. 33 inches with TPT shaft. This putter is an absolute weapon. Plus, it's green. Sam and the crew at LAB are making the best putters on earth.

I agree with you about the LPGA and Campions Tour mirrors most of us . Actually , the PGA as far as the distances , skill and talent we  grossly pale in comparison. Some guys think just because they can bomb it off the tee , that they are somewhat in the same league with the PGA professionals. Sadly , you are not .                                    
 

 I enjoy seeing the WITB also
