Recently picked up a custom TM Spider X and it’s going straight into the bag.
Dislodging an evnroll ER2B, which had dislodged a custom Edel putter.
The Spider just feels mega and rolling it on the PuttOUT mat just feels mega easy. Roll on courses opening again
Nice looking putter that spider, out of interest what was the reason for not sticking with the evnroll mate?
i’m a serial changer. Have always liked using a mallet and love the spider shape so lockdown boredom saw me find the ability to custom colour a Spider X (as wasn’t a fan of the copper, blue or white). Got delivered this week and it’s blown me away
I've got a lot of putters, half a dozen of my favourites below.

That is a beautiful putter and also a very sad story, howeverI'm a fan of slightly asymmetric mid sized mallets.
My all time favourite was a Gauge Design (Japan not the US Dave Whitlam version) Tera. I used to have three of them....in fact I'm pretty sure I had the only 3 in the country. One I sold, the other got stolen out of my bag. The other one I had for over 15 years....it wasn't permanently in my bag, but as I won our Club Championship with it some 10 years ago there was always a small corner of my heart reserved for it. Then, one fine summers day last year, I was practising with a couple of putters at the club....was loading up the car when someone came over to chat...distracted by the conversation I shut the boot and drove home.
At about 70mph on the A12 a car drew alongside me and the passenger was gesticulating at me and winding down the window, above the roar of the road and wind noise, I heard him say....."there's a putter on your roof"!!! I instantly realised what had happened....found a place to pull over, praying that the remaining putter was the Tera....but alas no it was a shitty Spider X that I'd been experimenting with (that I could do nothing but push to the right) that had got lodged against the roof rack that was on the car. I did turn around immediately, retrace my journey back to the club and then back home again seeing if I could spot the club anywhere but nothing could be seen. Plenty of places it could have fallen off before i got to the A12 as my club lies down twisty county lanes...its either lying rusting in a hedgerow or some dog walker has found it and not thought that it might belong to someone at the golf club just up the road.
So now I play a Scotty Special Select Flowback.

When I saw first saw the title of this thread I thought it was "What is your flagstick of choice" and couldn't believe it had 27 replies. I only looked in to see how a discussion on flag sticks could be so protracted.
There are some quality old flat sticks in there! Cheers for sharing. Do you still use them out on the course? Or just collect them?

The thinner the better and preferably WITHOUT one of those stupid lift-up devices. ??? ?
Based on the hole in one thread, maybe a "What's your favourite flagstick?" is needed ?
Yes Tiffany, after a few years mucking about with rubbish ones. She seems to like me, although to be fair Sandy is still waiting in the wings for any signs of doubt.
