I finally managed to trial this on the course this afternoon. Given that I was playing to real greens I put this in the bag to give it it’s first real workout on the course.
I’ve not been a putter tart; I’ve been faithful to my putters, especially over the last 14 years or so. I’ve had Oddessy Dual Force II and a 2 Ball putter in those years and have been using these in the bag right up until this afternoon. I tend to use the older Dual Force II during the winter, the black face giving a slightly better strike on the ball.
Having looked at the Bettinardi BC series of putters since they appeared almost a year ago, I finally took the plunge as a present to myself at Christmas time. They look very, very nice indeed. They are well made and well finished, and so they should be at the price, but most of all I think they had a great balance and feel in the hand.
Having putted reasonably well last year it may be though folly to change putter but I have only changed because I feel this will improve this aspect of my game. The mallet model I have chosen is similar to previous putters used. It is very easy to line up, and when you pull the trigger it is so easy to take it back and then forward through the ball. The ball feels fine off the face, not hard and clicky and not soft and sticky. Just right !
I’m really looking forward to using this on dryer, firmer greens as the year progresses. If conditions are right for Goswick, then this baby will be there to do battle against the auld enemy.
