Current gamer is any of a multitude of Bettinardi BB2 models, including a prototype, BB2-H, and a DASS copper insert. They are heavier than the Cameron and fit my game better.

 

The 1995 gun blue and 1996/500 copper Napa putters are outstanding, except for the weight.

 

I had a remake of an 8802 including leather that I loved before picking up my Bettinardis. Still a classic and nobody else can seem to get that satin "fog chrome" finish just right.

 

I owned a Designed by Arnold Palmer for a short while. Butter soft, but I was afraid to play it too much. Sold it for much more than I acquired.

 

My absolute favorite though is the Cleveland Designed by Classic in beryllium copper. Going back to the days when I had BeCu irons, wedges and putters in the bag, this putter was always money! Just a perfect look and feel. I've bought and sold over a half dozen of these in 10 years.

I recieved my black 8802 MJ SE Milled putter a few days ago and it is bar none the most"butter" of all my blade's with a close second to my MacGregor MacGregor Milled VIP Ironmaster Limited Edition Blade. Very Nice, still a few on ebay i see too. Best Spin Milled finish i have seen outside some of the Tour Napa's, Mendralla did good on this model!!

Arnold Palmer AP30 R. I think it was made in the 60s. This is a shorter blade length with less offset than the 8802 styles. It still has the original stepless shaft. I have been using this putter for the last 12 years. I am a 5 handicap and putting is the strength of my game as my ball striking is erratic. This putter has the best feel, best feedback and rolls the ball truer than any putter I have ever tried. It is best on fast greens.

dqb,

 

I commend you on doing a search instead of starting a new topic

 

Yeah, but when a topic is over three years old, it's ok to start a duplicate-ish version anew. ;)

 

What's impressive to me here is in this time, stage1350's "Current gamer is [still] any of a multitude of Bettinardi BB2 models..." For me though, my favorite blade to game is the JAS Tess. Feel is nice, weight is nice, forgiveness for a blade is more than nice. Favorite that I have is the lefty Cleveland Designed by Classic in beryllium copper with original leather grip. Don't get much perdier than that. :wub:

:hi:

having owned most of them...original 8802, Designed by Arnolds.. etc etc.

 

My Tour Napa is the sweetest, but ofcourse it's shafted with the green headspeed from the 60's.

I've "migrated" from my OC Napa to the SB8. It is right in between my Napa and my BB16H.

 

The offset is lesser than the BB16H. The angles seem closer to the Napa, a bit more angular. Headweight is great at about 345. I find the 356gram BB16H a bit heavy.

 

I still would want a BB2 though to eventually replace the Napa.
