Nice little Yes! collection

[md_mueller]

 

Whether it's a placebo or not, I've been hooked on the feel and roll of Yes! putters since 2005, and the Callie and Dawn have been in my bag for the vast majority of rounds since then. Over the past 6-7 or so years I've picked up some of the harder to find models both to try and collect. The fully milled Tour models that Yes! began putting out near the end of their existence are some of the nicest looking and feeling putters made, and I'd put them up against anything in terms of quality.

Sorry! Just saw that I accidentally posted a draft before having a chance to add pics. Original post updated :)

Don’t like the Nicky?

[md_mueller]

I've never actually used one! Though I suspect I'd like it more than the Sophia due to less offset. I typically play best with a plumbers neck and the heel shafted blades end up very inconsistent on actual greens for me.

I love the Donna and Natalie ... 2 of each

I still game my Callie Forged. Fantastic putter. It feels as good as anything. This makes me want to seek out some tour models. I wish this company was still around.

Great collection!

You may be the biggest Yes! fan I've seen...and I thought I was myself. I've owned a Tiffany, Callie i4 Tech, Mollie Tour (most prized possession, honestly), and Nicole.

[Rob McHugh]

I still take my forged Dawn out; I agree with you about the quality. When they came out that was their pitch - best materials and quality control made in America. :-)

Had one for a while and gifted it to a friend. Such a great feeling putter, remember the first him hitting one and being shocked at the difference vs my standard Callie. The tour models don't have that same feel since they are steel, but they have a very nice milled feel that varies pretty widely from shape to shape. The Nanda almost is old school ping like in sound/feel.

[md_mueller]

The Mollie tour/moi is another one I've never used. Only time I've actually seen one in person was on a putting green with Troy Merritt. I think it says something about the quality of putters that several tour players had them in the bag as recently as last year. Blixt and Fitzpatrick are two more that come to mind. Seems fairly unique in this period of golf, other than perhaps some cult Nike items.

Very nice collection. I did more reading into Yes after getting back into golf recently and I can say they were probably ahead of the times with face tech on a putter, would have been nice if they were still around today even under a major brand.

 

I scooped up a regular Callie with no alignments and Callie i4-Tech. Going to reshaft the i4 and regrip the regular Callie and just keep them as practice putters or maybe throw in the bag for a round or two. I do really like the look of the i4 at address.

[WVP]

Wow, what a collection. Looks like you don't have a favorite grip? All kinds of models there...

I regret not picking up a Mollie Tour at some point. Still have it as a saved ebay search!

Love that Nanda and Donna 2.

[brianhorne8]

The i4 is a great putter. I gamed it up until last year and only kicked it out of the bag because my putting really suffered last year and I needed to look at something new. It'll go back in at some point because it's just so good and I prefer the shape.

[MattM97]

Yeah it is quite nice, will see how I get along with the insert, I usually don't like inserts but luckily that it's metal contacting the ball and the TPU is behind that so it's not like mush. I do like the feel of the regular Callie a bit more but look of the i4.

 

Now do you happen to know the shaft size of the Yes putters? Just wondering if I have to buy a new shaft or reuse one when I pull from another putter.

[md_mueller]

I always go back to the Iomic standard size. The Iomic grips that came on the Dawns seems to just *fit*, but I'm always trying new ones to see if it helps. I'm not sure if it's because the grips that came with the Dawns are slightly different than what Iomic sells these days or if it's just super worn from 6-7 years in the bag and I'm used to that. I too have some saved searches still, and Mollie may be on that list ha!

I always loved the Yes! tour putters, I still have two of them. Doesn't TM own this brand now? I always thought they might bring it back as a premium 100% milled line.

[brianhorne8]

I wish I could say confidently what size it is. I have to believe they're whatever's standard, because they look the same across the board and compared to my old Odyssey Dual Force, but don't quote me on that.

[JoeHatesSnow]

I used a Valerie for many years and then was lucky enough to find a Mollie. I love them both but the Mollie is the perfect putter to my eye.

[md_mueller]

I believe Adams bought them pretty soon before TM bought Adams. I'd hoped for the same from TM, but sadly it seems like it's been too long now. It seems like it would compliment the mallet Spider lines of TM to have a fully milled premium brand under the same umbrella. I can't say I know TM's sales are of their TP line, but I can't imagine they're great especially at the price they come out at.

[MattM97]

I believe TM took the technology they got from buying Adams for the Yes putters and put that towards their inserts they use now. Obviously not the same kind of insert or face technology but TM believes that inserts is the way to go for their putters.
