Must try putters?

[Richardb1012302]

Going to the shop as a treat tomorrow, looking at a new putter that is different to the fontana kia ma i use at the moment.

Any must trys and any really different putters out there i should have a knock with?

I tried a Odessy Sabretooth backstrike the other day.
I felt wonderful in my hands & would have bought it if I had £109.00

 

[Richardb1012302]

I plan to try as many as i can, and really thats the key with putters i guess. I like the wolverine at the moment tbh, tried a few times and its a nice stick

 

[connor]

Ok on a more serious note. I like the tm ghost range always find my self looking at them

 

[Val]

If you find a shop with any, try the seemore range. Excellent putters

I love my ping redwood! I hear lots of amazing things about the new anser range!

I don't believe that any of the main stream manufacturers make a "bad" putter.

My advice would be to get a proper fitting so you get a flat stick taylord to you.

Tried out a few sticks, and it looks like the Nike Method 1i was the best bet. No purchase as i want to try it again, and try a few more. Also need to shift the Kia Ma fontana, Any idea oh what i should try and sell it for?

I wouldn't be too hasty in shifting the TM, just incase you struggle with the new one.

As per my previos post. I would get fitted and remove any doubt as to whether the putter is right for you or not.

Very nice putter, and very similar to my No Compromise.

Try loads, don't rush in and I'd go to a pro shop with an outside green where you can try anything out on real grass first!

I meant to ask a while back Murph when I noticed it in your sig', how's the N/C play?

 

[Richardb1012302]

I agree, its all about the real grass for a test run. I also think a lot can be told when you first pick the putter up, some just feel great, and others are a big no no.

Looking at more of a simple putter rather than the mallet style.

Unless you already are a good putter I wouldn't discount a mallet. Best by miles for alignment and masking a "poor" stroke due to greater MOI.

Very nicely. Bought on spec, at great cost, and luckily I love it. Very forgiving roll, so easy to judge pace, and I am holing some nice ones from 6 foot odd. Feels a bit odd moving back from face balanced to heal / toe, but I like it. Nice weight too.

I looked at a few Odessey No9s, which are close in looks, but they are not quite as well made, and for me, sit a touch closed. No idea why, as the lie and loft are the same as my N/C. Cleveland also do a version (N/C are Cleveland owned), but that just feels a poor cousin to the N/C.

Worth the money. To me anyway.

Glad it's working for you Murph. Beautiful looking putters.

I nearly had the Never Compromise Connoisseur Robusto Putter ( http://www.clubhousegolf.co.uk/acatalog/Never-Compromise-Connoisseur-Robusto-Putter.html ) but opted for my Scotty instead.

I still keep looking at it and thinking................. Maybe

Hi Gareth, how do you get on with Scotty now has it stood the test of a few months? I remember having serious putter-envy when you bought it!
