I cleaned out the golf closet and have quite a few head covers I'm trying to get rid of along with a Vokey wedge and a few Nike T60 fairway woods. Not that I'm going to expect a lot in return, but those funds will go toward whatever 8802 style I can find next. I was pretty proud when I scored the two Rife putters for a combined $115 within the past couple weeks.

I'm hesitant because I'm pretty sure I won't even be gaming these putters. I really had no reason to buy them, but couldn't pass up on such great deals on the style putter I've learned to love.

I'd love to buy a Napa, but just can't bring myself to drop that much coin on a golf club.

I've been doing quite a bit of research on Wilson 8802's and have scoured eBay for a few months now and just can't pull the trigger on any of them. I've also been trying to look locally (Austin) and in the Dallas area.

Thug Hunter keep collecting. I need someone to talk to about 8802 style putters. I actually putt with a 8813 from 1965. Had it refurbished and cant take it out of the bag. You know I have my share of putters and have tried to change but never putt as well (or at least that is how it feels). I am myself looking for a high end original 8802 and a designed by arnold palmer. Need those since they started all these copy cats.

The Yes Sophia Tour looks great. I have that and the same odyssey black tour 8 as yours on the radar (trying to get a new one but watching one on ebay which looks nice).

I played with a guy that plays the Sophia and hit a couple putts with it. It felt pretty good. I keep checking garage sales in the area I patrol (it's in an older golf course community where a lot of ole timers have played golf but haven't played golf in years) hoping to find a Designed by Arnold Palmer. People ask crazy prices on those putters.

I ran into Ben Crenshaw a couple months ago while I was working and asked if he had any 8802's he'd be willing to part with. He gave a smile, but that was it.

I've got a few and my 3 favorites are the Old Master W802 (gamer), the Wilson 8802, and a Cleveland Designed by . I've got a Bimini and really don't care for it. The carbon steel heads are far superior I think and anything with an alignment mark,at least for me, is a no-go.

I feel this way as well, although I will say I can tolerate a sight dot (however inaccurate they all seem to be in regards to the sweet spot).

I'd love to pick up a Napa Valley but the line on the flange just makes me shudder... otherwise a beautiful stick, though.

My macgregor custom cb5 has a line on the top, and I like it for short putts...but don't care for it for longer putts. [quote name='HandsomeMatt' timestamp='1414155134' post='10343453']

[/quote] I will use the whole face to putt according to distance. Closer to the toe for more touch on shorter curving putts and more to the heel for longer lag or just off the green. I've stripped the chrome and nickel off all my carbon steels and then gun blued them, requires oiling but usually I get them a little beat up and then refurb them.

a bit surprised to see the old master always mentioned... played that waaay back in the day, early 80s and still have it in the garage. kzg also has the ds2. yamada razor is another that isn't mentioned frequently

I used to collect 8802s myself, my collection is even smaller now... http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/672878-and-then-there-were-2/

My gamer's a Flanigan Bilt, complete with custom frosted sight line and my wife's name on the flange, beat my Bettinardi anser style and Odyssey versa 7 into the bag.
Check out the Kronos golf Darcy putter, to some it might look even better than an 8802 style

Any thoughts on the Royal Collection 8802 style putters? They can be found on eBay for about $100 and they're milled 303 stainless.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

I currently have;
-Rife Bimini Tropical
-Odyssey Metal-x #8 \ PT-82
-Walter Hagen WH003
-Miura KM-350 (my gamer... and my love :heart: )

I've compiled a list of about 60 blade putters.

Unfortunately i lost my job so i had to put it on hold but have every intention to restart

You're in good company my friend. I was laid off by my employer of ten years but I held out and got a job that paid more and had better benefits. Something better will come along. Then the 8802's will come.
