What putter did you just buy ?

Needed a toe hang putter. Fighting a face balanced putter for years really affected my play. So I found a Ray Cook SR100 (#9 Odyssey shape) with a TM Pure Roll type insert to experiment with. After using a gift card on Amazon, I got it for $17.

 

Last 18 holes with old putter - 38 putts. Last 9 hole round with old putter - 18 putts

 

Yesterday, first round with cheap new putter - 31 putts.

 

This Ray Cook may get quite a bit of run. Especially since the wife just let me get a new to me driver and 3 wood

How's that Exo face feel?

 

IMO it feels slightly softer than the current microhinge.

Just got a Piretti Matera on a whim. It's really good looking, but I haven't gotten used to the heavy 375 g head yet. I've been using an old ping anser 2 for years and they run really light. This thing feels like a brick on a stick to me and my feel is way off at the moment.

 

really awesome looking head though

 

In my opinion the heavy heads perform much better with a heavy grip as well. Gives the putter more balance and does not feel so head heavy. For me the secret to a smooth stroke is more weight without the putter feeling heavy. That is the philosophy Stockton goes by and I think it is very effective. I had a 375-gram putter built with a 100-gram grip and a 30-gram weight four inches from the top of the shaft, under my lower hand (NOT at the very butt end of the club, which is how many CB grips are designed.)

 

It works really well for me. Good luck!

 

That's really interesting. Do you know of a way I could DIY that? I hope I can find a grip that I like that's heavier, but I always end up putting a blackout ping grip on my putters. Right now it still has the stock Piretti grip. Very interested to try this out. Thanks for the info!

Just got a real putter and can finally toss that 30 year old garage sale putter aside. Got a fitting and picked out a bettinardi 2016 BB1 at the Bettinardi studio. Cant wait to finally have some confidence standing over 3 footers.

 

how was your experience at the bettinardu studio?

It was great. Although I don't have anything to compare it to, I can only imagine that is how a high-quality fitting should go. Tweaked things and adjusted the putter until it was just right, very easy going, enjoyed a beer during the fitting, and got to check out some sweet putters and headcovers in the hive. Can't wait to go back.

Just picked up a #7 Tank O-Works black, 38 inches as a demo for a good deal, it looks unused. I am determined to try to teach myself crosshanded putting with this.

I love your recent pick ups. I recently got my first custom from bettinardi and am already talking with them about my second. Very addictive! I just appreciate the quality of all their stuff. Congrats!

Ping Sigma G Kinloch C. Angus the Greyhound illustrates the level of excitment the purchase generates on other members of the household. Need a dog that likes to fetch! Putt, fetch. Putt, fetch. Putt, fetch. Sounds like a fun game to play with a dog!
