I've got two putters a YES! Callie and a Odyssey Metal X #7

Now the two of them couldn't be more different really:

The YES! is 33" in length and the Odyssey is 35"

They are very contrasting head designs and colours

The Odyssey is a good bit heavier than the YES! as well




But for the life of me, I just can't pick a winner between either of them, I don't wanna get rid of either even though they perform quite differently, I'm much better at lagging putts with the YES! but then I'm more likely to leave putts a bit short then, whereas with the Odyssey, I can race it past the hole a couple of feet but I'm more confident on the putts coming back.

I've took a few pictures to show the contrast between the two. Has anyone else had a similar dilemma before? How did you deal with it?








 
I have around 12-13 putters ranging from charity shop specials to scotty Cameron's. they all get their moment in the sunshine.


currently in the bag is a Spalding TPM1. :thup: whats the dilemma ?

I suppose it's not really a dilemma, I just don't feel right leaving one out, wanna use both all the time!
 
race it past how many feet? 15 more like :)

stick with one and practice with it, I reckon the yes as I have one and they are great :thup:


Doesn't matter how many feet they go past as long as you knock them in! Too bad I can't do that either! :rofl:
 
Why not try and make room in the bag for both? May sound a bit left field but if they both do different jobs, it maybe worth a go :)
 
Landog..............Exact same dilemma-and shape of heads going by your photo.I have a couple of Ping ansers(that I love,and trust!)But SWMBO bought me a Wilson long round backed putter/thingy BECAUSE IT MATCHED THE IRONS THAT SHE BOUGHT ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!(yes,I know--go figure that one out)But the thing is ,if I take it out in place of the Pings I seem to hole a good few putts with this especially after getting it cut down to 32"(matching the Pings)I'm still a bit unsure about the bright pink grip that the pro put on for a laugh tho'.
JImbo:cool::p
 
Play the Yes and sell the Odyssey to a Sci-Fi enthusiast so they can hang it with their Tie fighters etc :)




Ok just me, but I cant find much to admire about the spiders/spaceships etc (worst though is the 2-ball design which just seems cheap and wrong)


But as its conforming I can't argue much if it works for you
 
I have an Odyssey Tank #1 which is heavy and a blade. I've a Ping Anser 2 from the mid 80's which is a solid face but much lighter and my Odyssey milled faced #9. Three of the most different but I've used all of them in 2014. I do tend to be a putter tinkerer and so if I was the OP I'd use whatever gives you confidence on the day
 
I've just purchased a #7, there's something about that putter that feels right.

You got it in the end then :thup:

I've had mine probably a month now and it's just fantastic and it's already helped me in making many birdies and even an eagle in its short life :clap:
