Insert face or milled face putter on fast greens

On fast greens what is better for feel

Insert putter or milled face with no insert ?

I am using a white hot insert in my putter with AD333 balls and it feels soft and difficult to feel the pace of fast greens, opinions ?

I found that the ball seemed to jump off the face with a white hot insert and so I didn't feel in control of shot putts or putts on quick greens.

Saying that, the pros lay on greens quicker than most things we come across and there are plenty of them playing with white hot insert putters.

Just down to what you can fell comfortable with in the end.

You could well be thinking too much about the golfing maybe-s!

I found the AD333 quite a hard ball - at least with irons and haven't used it for a while. A soft insert, such as the White Hot one, would seem to be quite a reasonable way to get a bit MORE feel with it. But each to their own!

i also have the same issue with Wilson Staff DX3 and other soft balls not so much an issue of the ball, more an issue of ball and putter face, it lacks the contact feeling for good pace feedback maybe ?

When i had an old Ping Anser slotline the contact and even the sound was feedback enough for feel and pace

I use a WH XG Rossie and Bridgestone e6 balls, never have issues with getting a feel for fast greens (even when I played Gullane No.1 a few weeks back - greens like lightening). Personally I don't really think about the feel that much just more focussed on a good sroke, thats how I do things anyway but putting is a personal thing.

I was using a Ping Anser until we had a falling out. I went back to the odyssey and to be honest on the slowish Royal Ascot greens the soft face isn't an issue. Where the heck are you to be on lightening greens in this weather. I took the odyssey #9 to the Grove last year and I was scared off the pace (11.7 on the stimp) so never really put a good stroke on many putts.

I've been looking at the #9 in the milled face to get the best of both worlds but the jury is still out on the necessity when Ascot greens don't get uber quick and I don't play too many scary quick courses. I guess the insert is the ideal solution but think the milled face will help with feel
