Cally Tour Blue

What went wrong?
Bought a Cally Tour Blue TT#1 (classic Anser style) 34" for 198$ CAD earlier this week in the discount corner of my golf retailer. Played twice with it and...it's amazing. Sank a few 20 footers and first putts (except) all ended up within 2 feet. And it is sooooo sweet feeling. Not soft like inserts but so responsive on sweetspot hits. Incredible. As always, feel is hard to describe. Drop dead gorgeous (to my eyes at least). Also found that the contrast of colours between the head and the ball really helps focusing. Another major factor for me: hands down the best putter I have ever encounter. Pingman and Pistol move away! Firm and tacky with just perfect form...for my hands at least. I'M IN LOVE!!!

Yet, you barely see or hear of them (3 different models were made, a Zing style and a Piper ???), so I take it it was a commercial flop. So my question is, why? Was it because of its original price point, with potential buyers not willing to shell big bucks for a putter sporting a traditionnally hacker's heaven golf manufacturer's name? Was it a color issue?

Thanks.

I have one as well, and I like it well enough. Callaway was a bit ahead of the price curve at the time...except for the 2 ball, if you want to get more than $150 at retail for a putter it had better say Scotty Cameron on it.

I had a TT1 for a good part of a year and it was a great putter, I loved the feel and I even liked the bluish color. I think what hurt was the fact that it had little backing if any by the Tour players.

Weren't they asking like high $200's into the low $300's for those when they came out new??? I liked the looks of them when they did come out, but I thought the feel was horrible.

$299 new...I bought my TT3 new. I was not a bad putter at all. But I just was not in love with it.

Yup too expensive. The finish is also not desireable. It seems to be a paint type finish that chips. If anyone has stripped/buffed off the blue finish can you send me pics. That is the only thing preventing me from picking one up.

As a side note the grip is really heavy (70grammish), it results in a really light swingweight.

I demo'ed this putter (TT1 and TT3) along with a bunch of others over the summer when I was looking for a replacement for my 2 Ball White Steel. The feel was nice, the look was nice, it putted nice, etc. Basically it was a "nice" putter, but in my opinion a putter with a $300+ price tag needs to be exceptional.

 

Also, for a discontinued putter, I would have expected a discount on the price.

 

Thanks,
