[bama no 1]

That's a pretty putter pal! Hope all your putts are as beautiful.

Congrats to the testers.

Congratulations testers! Very excited to read if y’all will be “all in” on the “Allan”!

Looking forward to hearing about the performance and feel. Love my L.A.B. Broomstick, but intrigued to see how this works for everyone!

Putter fitting in the books boys! Ty was my fitters name and he was great! Super nice. Got set up on a putting green and we started rolling some PXG pills.

We used a trackman to collect some data. Out of the gate the stander sink fit grip felt too large. I have been using a putter with a ping grip on it. The Allen also felt heavy. So we were getting inconsistent roll and a ball that skidded too much. So we switched out the two 15 gram weights for some 10 gram weights. That was immediately better. The skidding stopped the roll was much better. Putts started dropping. Just to check we ten swapped out the 10 gram weights for 12.5s and that was the baby bear sweet spot. 
 

some quick initial thoughts of the putter. I like the shape. It is spider tour’ish in shape. The alignment is simple and effective and the feel is great. I have never liked insert putters. This had the feedback of a milled with a slightly muted feel to it.

in the end we settled on a 35 inch putter. Standard loft and lie with a blacked out M16 shaft.

oh and just because he is awesome. We also hit some PXG irons. I have zero experience with them and that was great as well. I appreciate his time!

 

little look at address. I like it!

 

initial numbers. Coming off a little hot and you can see on the top right the 12 is how far the ball is skidding. 12 inches is a little long.

Ty getting all set up. 

 

showing me some numbers.

wow, im surprised the fitting was outside.  in my honest opinion i think that is how all fittings should be.

I got lucky and it was part of a demo day at a private course in the area. I did enjoy doing it outside..

[Quigleyd]

Order up!!

Congrats testers! Very curious about PXG’s take on a zero-torque putter. Based on the photos, I really like the design! Have fun with this one!

Forgive my ignorance, but what should an ideal skid number be? I'm completely in the dark and have never seen a skid number (granted I've never done a putter fitting, but I've watched some putter fitting videos before).

 

Anyway, what a cool experience, can't wait to follow you on the journey.

[Glenmore5]

Wow....congrats to all of you testers...

According to the fitter less than a foot is good and the lower the better.

Congrats testers! Should be interesting to see if this competes with LAB. Looking forward to the reviews. 

[Alfred DuPuy]

Congrats, everyone! Looking forward to hearing all about your testing. Putt well!

No worries! Obviously more to come!

[Quigleyd]

An unexpected little surprise with the putter order. Ty, the rep added the weight kit and a dozen of the new PXG extreme balls to try out! Very cool.

I will say, in the what basically amounts to 24 hours this has gone on, the customer service from PXG and the communication from them in setting up the fitting, then following up after to check in, then the speed of the order has been exceptional. That alone give me a great reason to smile. 
 

here is the email from Ty!

Hey Cody,

 

It was a pleasure to fit you yesterday. I attached your putter specs to this email, I also added a putter weight kit and a dozen of the Extreme tour balls for you to try. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

looking forward to the putter arriving. Hearing it could be here Friday which would be fast! I am off this Thursday and Friday, so maybe I will get luck and get it out ASAP. 

[cburins]

Congrats testers! I love forward to the reviews! 

[Donn lost in San Diego]

Good luck, I bet you all keep it and run for a long time with it.

My eye procedure was moved up by 2 weeks (YAY) so I will probably go back to San Diego PXG store Friday or Saturday to finish up and place my order.  Thanks Bob P.

Hope it gets there by Wednesday so you can get 2 days with it.

Crazy enough I just got a shipping notice.. that’s fast! No tracking yet so not sure on ETA. 

[Quigleyd]

Looks like the putter will arrive tomorrow! That is lightning!

I picked up the Allen today before heading to the office. Updates and first impressions coming soon!

 

[VernL4]

I just got done with a two-hour meeting with my boss. I have a small road project that I have to start designing. As of right now, I can not do the complete write-up on my fitting that was last night. I can however, say- WOW! It was an excellent experience. My fitter was great and my putter is now being built! I even got a few goodies on top of what I was expecting.

Here are two picture to wet your appetite... 

 

[Quigleyd]

Headed home.. unboxing to come!

 

 

 

 

[Quigleyd]

Let’s open her up!

 

 

[Quigleyd]

I live right by a course. Going to go roll a few putts!

[musicalmedicine]

When your hotel doesn’t have a golf course, make your hotel room the golf course.

 

Not part of my planned testing, but I’m happy to say the Allen passed Southwest’s baggage handler’s durability test.

Any plans to do some testing with the various weights?
