John L Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I have only used 1 putter over that last 20 yrs until about a month ago. I have played the Odyssey 2 ball tour filled putter since 2003 and I have loved it. Recently I bought the new jailbird mini and it feels amazing it is slightly heavier and it is one of the reasons I changed. I have always been a good putter so the change was not to fix anything it was more about the new fresh look and the additional weight. I have noticed one thing that has taken time to adjust to and that is the alignment of puts. With the 2 ball I did not use the line on the ball I chose to use the blank spot and the 3 balls lined up was the alignment process I used. With the jailbird I am finding that i have to find a more involved alignment process It is working but that was my major adjustment.

cnosil Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I like putters so I change when the mood strikes, when I see something I like, or want to try the newest “tech”. Basically some of the same reasons people on this forum change out any club that is in their bag.

RetiredBoomer Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Once I have a putter, I have it forever. If I'm not playing it, it goes into the ancient Hogan staff bag with all the other putters. That said, I've been actually playing with the same Tad Moore Chicopee for most of the season. The TXBexar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukes Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Only when it's been bad...In fact, I've taken to leaving my entire set in the trunk of my car overnight when they've been acting up. But, that's just me! That said, I've used the same putter for more than 10 years and am, just now, considering a switch-out. Don't fix, what ain't broke! Quote Just Keeping It Real...

Josh Parker Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 I typically hold on to a putter for a long time. I have decided to upgrade this year to a CB LAB DF3 from the DF2.1 but don't see that one going anywhere and will most likely keep the DF2.1 The TXBexar 1 Quote Titleist GT3 11* Tensei 1k blue Titleist TSR2 4w 16* Titleist TSR2 5w 18.75* MKII ZX 5's (4-6) w/ KBS Tour V MKII ZX 7's (7-PW) w/ KBS Tour V Vokey SM9 Wedges 50* 54* 58* DF2.1 Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_KFT Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Infrequently. I have played three different putters over the 13 years I've been golfing. My Scotty is in a good place in the bag, but I have been tempted to dabble in the LAB sphere after seeing such success for other forum members. The Link.1 has my attention for sure.

Berg Ryman Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 In the last 15 years, save for a test of the OG Stroke Lab putter, I've used two putters primarily. The Nickent Pipe and the SIK Flo. Went to SIK in 2021 after a long hard look at some stats on the Pipe, and don't think we're making a change for another 10 years, despite being tempted.

bens197 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Rarely. For more than 20 years I played a Ping Anser 2 Stainless with periodic Cameron and Bobby Grace usage. For the last 5 years I’ve only tried two. A Scotty Phantom X 11.5 and a LAB MEZZ.1. The MEZZ.1 will only be replaced by another LAB.

TJ Hall Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Not very often…I’m on my fourth putter in all my almost thirty years playing. So I average a change every about every 7 years!
