Hey guys

I was just wondering does anyone have any experience of these, I know they are owned by Taylormade and don't think they are around anymore. They seem to get nothing but positive reviews of the few I can find on them, I have never seen one in the flesh or tried one but really like the idea of the face squaring technology as it could really help me with my forward press that tends me to miss left. I know they are not the prettiest thing but whatever works right? The donna below is what I was thinking of:

Not tried that one, but had a couple of Victoria 2's. Rolled the ball really nicely, no complaints at all. Only reason they went is that they had the Stealex shaft in them which was difficult to extend and after a fitting I've gone to a 37" putter. If they could have been easily extended they'd probably still be in the bag.
 
I've had two but I can't get on with them. They look lovely but just not for me. I found the sweet spot to be very small and the ball either pinged off that or felt dead. I just couldn't get any distance consistency with them which was a shame as I really wanted to like both putters I had. Plenty people like them though but they are a club I feel you would need to try out to see if it suits you.
 
I was gonna buy the Olivia. Not on anything scientific, just cos it's my daughters name :) ugly as sin tho!


the putter, not the daughter :rofl:
 
Tried 'em, don't like 'em. Thought the ball pinged off the face too much. I just couldn't get on with them. My son had had one for years.... he's a rubbish putter!
 
I've had several (4 from memory) and they certainly rolled well.

The last one, from a mate (top of the range Dianna i think), was nearly a keeper, but I couldn't be arsed getting it reset to standard loft and the C-Grooves got too 'involved'

They are excellent value for quality! David Howell used/has been using them for years!

From what I understand, they only 'failed' as a business because the 'driver' of it was determined to break into the US market but was under-capitalised - and the driver of that strategy was not sufficiently controlled by fellow Directors!
 
I used to have the Yes! Callie. Great putter and had it in the bag for quite a long time. Can't compare to my refurbished scotty cameron mil spec though

If you can get one cheap then go for it...
 
Never liked any of them and didn't like the feel off the face with their C groove. All of them looked ugly and didn't give me any confident feelings. Are they even still making them? I thought Yes in the UK went under
 
Fantastic putters. I've had the Yes Donna you have in the OP and if you can get past the looks it flat out performs. High MOI, soft feel from that yellow insert thing and nothing rolls better than a yes putter in my opinion. Crack on.

I can only echo this which was exactly the reason Amy left the bag, you'd get very random rockets that just don't seem there with any of the TM, oddy, Cleveland or rife putters I've had
 
I've used a few over the years and still have a Callie F in the garage - great putters that were very prevalent on tour at one point. Shame to see the demise of the brand.
 
I vowed never to get rid of my Tracy II. Miss her loads ever since having my head turned by a Scotty. 😢
 
When I worked at the pit, I was given three putters to sell by a guy who was trying to become a pro.
A Scotty Cameron, taylor made toro Rossa and a yes putter. They were all £25 each. I still kick myself not buying the Scotty myself. The yes putter I could not give away and currently it's best use is as a poker on me fire.
 
I have a "yes" putter C-Groove Dianna with variable weighting. The weight at the heel of the putter is loose and I do not have a proper tool to tighten it. When I try to do it I cannot get it tight enough to stay and it "rattles." Any suggestions?
