New Putter

[Gilesy337]

currently using a scotty cameron sonoma but after 10 years its time for a new putter!!

Any ideas or recommendations?

Another Scotty, Taylormade or Odyssey

I know i should try many and see which feels best but would like to hear what others think?

I admit, I've not used or tried loads of putters but I've got an Odyssey 2ball and it's excellent.

Gilesy, Welcome to the forum, Why are you thinking of changing, I use a SC Newport and its fantastic mate , great feel, would not go away from a scotty, just my opinion...

 

[Gilesy337]

Thank you,

The sonoma seems to have lost all its feel, weird i know but i cant seem to hit consistant puts anymore. It used to be quite consistant but after re-shafting/gripping etc so many times doesn't feel right.

Looked at a 2 ball, my mate had one and recommends them, however love scotty's, maybe a time for a spend.......

Newport 2.5 looks very nice!!!

Yes mate, well worth the money, tried a 2 ball once and although it was good from inside say 6 -10 foot, just didnt have any feel from outside that range,so left putts short or went way past....

I have just gotten a two ball, I previously had a circa 62 scotty. distance on the scotty was excellent, with the 2 ball, takes some getting used too, but overall for me, the 2 ball is a more consistant putter.

I would be biased and say http://www.whitlamgolf.com/ make great putters. I have used their putters for about 3 years and they are superb. I know David Whitlam personally and he takes great pride in his work, I would put his putters as number 1. He is based in San Diego and has awesome knowledge of putters.

I'd recommend getting fitted. I don't really see how you can pick something so personal on someone else's opinion.

None of the recognised names make a bad putter.

I'm in the market for a new putter: I've had many. Looked at the Odyssey two ball blade, the Rife Aussie in silver and the fisher blade wih red insert. Can somebody tell me definitively which is the better for the long term? This is some kind of madness! At least my wife tells me so.

Fraid not

If there was one definitive best putter no-one else would sell any.

I'd say get the help of a pro to help you choose A) what he thinks puts you in the best posture for a solid stroke, and B) What feels good to you.

Try as many as you can, preferably on grass.

Thanks. I've found recently that the golf ball itself affects my putting. The Srizon Z Star feels heavy and solid, a Pro V1 trampolines like a bullet. Combining the ball, the putter insert or face milling, the stroke and the speed of the green... putter science is unknowable.

Some like long putters, others prefer short

Some like heavy putters, others prefer light

Some like blade putters, others prefer mallet

Some like insert putters, others prefer not

Some like C Groove putters, others prefer not

It would be unwise to buy a putter because someone tolf you it was good.

It would be like saying "your favourite colour should be purple because I like it".

If you can swing a putter on line and with your chosen speed, and 'it feels nice' that's the one for you.
