Okay This putter was purchased on Ebay for 70 dollars in poor condition with no expectations going into my first trip to the putting green. I brought the little guy out to the course for a spin and the first putt I lined up was a 15 ft. slipper downhiller and KACHING! This putter continued to make putts, causing me to play a round of golf (which I originally hadn't planned on) and finish the round with a year low of 24 (2 chip ins). So I immediately booked a reservation for one. Your name sir? Coronado Mid Slant Pro Platinum.

 

This putter is immaculate now and the feel is amazing. The weighting is absolutely perfect and much heavier and smoother than expected. The paintfill was an accident and I will be resending it into the CS for a redo because of their not honoring my request. Other than the puke colors on this putter it is SUPERB and I recommend trying one out. You can find them for a very low price on Ebay.

To the two above: go to my controls. scroll down to bottom of page and then the my attachments. delete old pix and then your good to go.

 

 

To the OP: Try different things out before throwing money at the problem... I love my old pings to death but I tried them out and they felt right to me. I got a YES! Callie off ebay and it doesn't feel right to me... So anyway, good luck finding your gamer...

The Designed by Captain Morgan is definitely one of the nicest looking blades I have seen. I have games many blades and this blade looks like a solid putter. If only I could actually putt with a style like this. If I could, this putter would be in my collection!!!

Z-Man,

While I'm sort of passionate about my Napa's I must say I find your Byron blade to be a real beauty. Very nice. I'm hoping my next one is a Polombi. Geo will hopefully have something ready around April first so I'm leaning in that direction.

To the original poster, there are endless possiblities out there when it comes to heel shafted blades. Just about every builder has made one at some point and each one is good in its own way. I own around a hundred different ones right now and I like the feel of my Napa's the best, but there are many other options as well, from forty years old, to current models.

I recently gamed an American Classic VII and found that to be a great blade. The reason I stopped using it is because my stroke was too poor to use it. When my stroke was on, the AC VII performed incredibly well. When my stroke was not so good, my results were horrible. For those who have a pure stroke a blade is perfect.

I'm a little slow today and was just wondering what this picture has to do with the OP?

That putter was made in very very limited numbers and is not one that you can just go out anywhere and pick up. While Mr. Mills did in fact make some great putters, sort of pointless to point to one that is basicly un-attainable. Not trying to crash the party here, just saying that is a very rare putter.

That Napa hasn't been in production in almost 10 years. The ACVII putter was made in very very limited numbers and is not one that you can just go out anywhere and pick up. While Mr. Cameron does in fact make some great putters, sort of pointless to point to one that is basicly un-attainable. Not trying to crash the party here, just saying these are rare putters. :rolleyes:

All putters are attainable for a price. As stage said, the Napa has not been made in 10 years and the AC VII was limited in 2005. Neither putter is on the shelf or obtainable through Titleist. The Mills blades are also not available as retail. I am not sure if David is willing to make a blade but you never know. All one has to do is ask Jay Green. I have seen a few Mills blades available recently so this is a viable option, as are the Napa and AC VII. Let's not downplay the availability of any out of production putter that does not have Cameron on it.

Well I guess I beg to differ. That Mills putter pictured is a putter that there could very well be less than twenty ever produced and would more than likely bring a price many times that of the Cameron's I pictured. The Cameron's on the other hand are really very easy to find and for less the $400 in many cases. If you would like one of either, give me a day or two and I will find both if you would like. In the same two days I would love to see you come up with that Mills.

Not real sure why there is the need for these offhanded replies. I sort of getting sick of it real quick. This site is being ruined by this BS.

To take my post and copy it almost word for word is about as childish as anything I have seen in recently. I really don't understand why you just don't hit the back button if you have nothing positive to add to the discussion.

I would like to add for this SA reply, that the OP made reference to a Napa in his first post. Reading every post and not just the ones you don't like helps before jumping in head first.

Nobody said that the Mills was not a rare putter and would take time to find. However, there are other Mills blades, several of which have shown up for sale recently. Anyway, you don't know what is for sale until you look for it. That said, yes, Cameron putters are readily available and for a lower price because these are mass production putters, not handmades. Let's compare apples to apples, shall we. Now getting to the Napa and AC VII, I owned an AC VII and it is a fine putter. Is it one of the best blades I have ever used, certainly! I have owned, or currently own, several classic blades from Wilson, Cleveland Classics and Cameron. However, you started it by replying to nateobot's post. The OP did not ask about whether a putter is very limited or not. The OP asked about options. The Mills is an option for a gamer. While I understand your passion for Cameron (been there, done that), you whine when people post something that does not support your love for all things Cameron. If you are getting sick of it, sorry. That is not the intent but allow people to represent the putter world. The putter world, if you have not seen, does not revolve around Cameron and only his offerings. If the site is being ruined then I submit it is because of people who have little tolerance of a brand they are not gaa gaa over. This is a big world of putters, let alone golf clubs, so try to learn about all of them and broaden your view. If Cameron is all that you want to talk about there is a site that you would simply love.

I am looking for a new gamer, heel shafted, simple but beautiful.

So far Ideas include SC napa, and Miura km350. I would love

suggestions, Pictures would be great. As of right now Miura is in the lead.2008putter-km350.jpg

Talk about twisting the original post. Give me a break. The OP said that he is already aware of the Napa and Miura kn350. He wanted other suggestions. For you to resuggest the Napa is a waste of bandwidth, he already has target that as an option. That is precisely what we are trying to give. No mention of price or need by date was given so options are offered. Just because you don't care for an option does not mean you need to launch into a tantrum. We are just trying to help the OP. :)

Sorry, I misread the thread. I thought it was showing off pictures of heel shafted putters we wanted.
