I thought it would be my Scotty Circa 62, but I've bought myself a new Bettinardi BB32 and it looks like it's exactly what I wanted

Switching to facebalanced was a good switch, that's for sure

Pretty sure BB 32 isn't face balanced. 1/4 toe hang. Just got mine at 400g, 35.5 inches SS 3.0. Beautiful wand.

400g...wow that's heavy! I hate to ask but is that head weight or total weight?

[Ckingolf]

Futura X 37" Dual Balance !!!

[richk7]

I'll be playing a very cheap old putter until I can afford a new one. Just god rid of a Method 001. After trying some of the newer Ping TR mallets at Dick's this weekend, I really want to give the new Ketsch a try.

[/quote]Believie it or not, it is head weight. Fit on SAM puttlab and worked great with my swing. 1 degree loft, 1 degree flat. If it feels too heavy, can always counterbalance. So far I LOVE it. Getting fit has done wonders for my confidence.

I'm impressed, I didn't think it would work, distance-control wise, but hey; to each their own!
I'm happy to hear that it works for you.
Lesson here is; GET FIT!!!

Fastback Newport Select CircleT

It changes everyday =p Right now I'm hoping it will be the Metal X Milled Versa #7 with SS 2.0

Those are 2 beauties T-MAC, bet that Handmade feels incredible.
[/quote]

Yeah, the handmade feels like butter. It' DFM-1014 on the TP Mills website. David only made 2 of them. I've had one for awhile now and I tracked down it's twin last year and finally persuaded the owner to sell it to me, so now I have them both. The other one is still new.
Here are the rest of my Mills crew. I'll only game the TradII and my gamer handmade in 2014 though.

[Erock]

Ping Nome S Belly and a Rife Barbados with SS Fatso Lite Grip.

[chupunstick]

Just made the switch to a BWB versa #7, loving this thing! So easy to align and roll

[lmh_3]

Not sure what will get the nod, going to bring four with me to roll before my round tomorrow to try and get an idea. I'm thinking it will be the MXM-V, MXM, ProType ix, or White Damascus ix. All are the #9 HT.

[Golfnut801]

Odyssey #7 versa wbw, with superstroke slim flastso grip.

Well I have to decide from these:

I've got my Studio Select Newport 2 in the bag for now, waiting for my Studio Stainless Newport 2 to get back from the Custom Shop for a little refreshing... Somehow I like the feeling of the Studio Stainless better.

That putter definitely feels nice in my hands. Nice and light. Don't know how it will roll on real greens though yet since we're still snowed out.

Going with my DH89 in the bag and my Cameron Studio Select NP2 ready to step in on a bad day.

[Fourmyle of Ceres]

Normally putting is for me, if not exactly a "strength" of my game, certainly the one thing that i can count on to not be as bad as my full swing or short game. That said, over the final few months of 2013 the 3-putts were coming with alarming frequency. I identified a couple of bad habits I was falling into that were leading to some really bad putts in the crucial 2-5 foot range.

So I got a 35" Daddy Long Legs counterbalanced putter to replace my collection 32-1/2" to 33" conventional ones and spent a little time practicing my alignment and setup. In just a few rounds I felt like I really got things back on track.

Not for every round but quite often I keep detailed distances on my scorecard. I decided to go back and look at the six rounds I had gather before making the change. Here are my Strokes Gained-Putting relative to the PGA Tour Baseline for a period back in October and November when my putting was getting really out of whack. Keep in mind that negative numbers means how many strokes worse I putted than a PGA Tour player facing the same set of first-putt lengths.
-4.575 -6.53 -0.825 -0.925 -3.4 -5.665

Now here are my Stroke Gained-Putting from five recent rounds since using the Daddy Long Legs.
-1.76 -6.095 -3.04 -1.525 -2.105

Can you see the trend? Neither can I...for these five rounds with the Daddy Long Legs I've had two good rounds of -1.8 and -1.5, one bad round with -6.1 and a couple of in-betweeners. With the conventional putters I had two good rounds of -0.8 and -0.9, three bad rounds with -4.6, -5.7 and -6.3 and one in-betweener.

Fact is, it's pretty random looking. The good rounds tend to come back-to-back but otherwise I just bounce around between one stroke and about six or so strokes worse than the PGA Tour baseline no matter what putter I use.

DLL is still going to stay in the bag for 2014. No reason not to use it and I like putting with it. Just kind of disappointing that the stats show my excitement over "better" results are mostly in my imagination.

[hdgolf44]

My Gamer: PING Karsten 1959 series - Zing model -- 34" with a Superstroke Slim 3.0 grip

My Backup: Yes! Callie-12 standard finish (i.e. silver/grey) -- 34" with a Winn Jumbo-Lite grip.

[playa]

I have added a Tear Drop TD select 41 to my trusty Betti BHBB 12 The Hawk. So it's one mallet and one blade. I'm trying the Tear Drop this week but amtoying with keeping the Betti in the bag as a backup.

[JWeg]

Bettinardi signature series 7. I love this face balanced blade. I hate looking down at a mallet. Problem solved and it has been going in the hole more which is always a plus.

[caniac6]

Ping Anser 2 patent pending. An oldie, but a goodie.

[Carrots]

34" Acushnet Bulls Eye. My love.

Ditto for me. The 35 inch bullseye will get the go ahead when my low back tightens up.

[/quote] Interesting, I have a Ping 35" blade that allows me to stand wo putting too much pressure on my back, as my back weakens after a round or two. It's a great go to putter when the back starts screaming.

[kizdoc]

Already put this new putter in play and maybe the best putter I've ever played with.
