What putter did you just buy ?

[Carolina Doc]

Odyssey Tri Hot 5k Double wide.  Has a very nice feel to it.  Got it at a really good price, so will give it a go and compare it to my Scotty Camerons that I've been playing for 20 years.  I'll keep you posted how it turns out.

Finally got around to some pics.

Shaft and grip not OG but still delighted... more of a collection piece than a gamer at about 300g, but who knows?

What a beautiful find! Looks like a version 6? I don't think I have ever seen one of those for sale -- super cool!

Pre-ordered a Hammy.  New shipment arriving soon.  I played with one for a couple years way back and ended up giving it to a friend.  Want to play around with one again.

Putter battle this year- Taylormade GT Spider Max, Odyssey AI One 7s, Odyssey AI One Double Wide double bend, Jailbird Mini AI One. 
 

Looks like the Jailbird Mini will come out on top, I’ll keep the Double Wide in reserve. 
 

Love the putter at address, love the 3 dot alignment. Feels quite nice to me and my front to back dispersion has been better than I hoped. The AI tech seems to deliver for me.

"Hi LAB Golf, yeah this is Scottie Scheffler. Can you please send me 10 of whatever Willy Z and Adam are using?"

Thank you. Unfortunately, it may be the first one up for sale.

Early testing has the Mills as the frontrunner.

Are they that light? Are you sure about that?

Nah, it was just a guess.  It seems they are somewhere between 305g and 325g (and different heads over the years are probably different weights). Mine maybe feels a tad lighter because it's been reshafted and I think epoxied so no ball bearing.

 

Interestingly, a comment at the end of the thread puts Anser 4 (SS) heads at 302g with the short hosel.  That's very light given it was sold throughout the 1990s.

Great balanced feeling through the stroke. Feel off the face is so good as well. Went in for a driver regrip and walked out with the Ally…. 

[LeftyCanuck11]

I just picked up the Ai 2 ball and I’ve been using it on my putting mat.   I’ve never been so confident with a putter.  I can’t wait to try it out on the course.

Now that’s a blast from the past, almost 20 years ago.  The addiction to golf equipment was in its infancy for me then, and it’s just gotten worse over the years…

 

More times than I care to mention I’ll google some spec, or club building question and click on a link here and  find I’m reading my own post from ages ago.  Thanks younger me! 😂

Okay. I love the lighter feel of mine. All these massively overweighted putters that are produced these days make me scratch my head. I do not like the massively overwheighted 350G (or higher) putters.

About 4 years ago I switched to a BeCu Anser that is light compared to today's standards (504 g total weight at 34.75" with a PINGman blackout grip).  Best I've putted in my life.  It's been in the bag for 4 straight years.  Before that putter I was buying 5 or 6 per year, easy.

Jumped on the L.A.B. train..Big fan so far

Just picked up an AI Milled Eleven.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X5.5, 33", came with extra set of weights (35g each). Been a long standing Newport guy but figured it was time to give this a shot, so far in the basement it's been a pleasant surprise, can't wait to get it out on the course!

I think you can "feel" the putts better w a lighter putter. But that's kind of a feel thing I guess and subjective to each person.

Agree.  Where I've noticed the most improvement with the lighter putter is on long putts and just overall pace control.

[ajbillings]

When I did a Ping remote fitting they seemed to recommend a heavier putter for slower tempos and lighter putter for faster tempos. https://ping.com/en-us/fitting/our-process/putter-fitting

Super subjective as mentioned above..but I was previously leaving putts short and went with more shallow milling and heavier and my miss is no longer short. Agreed on having slightly more feel with a slightly lighter putter though

They'll even test within the range if you do an in person fitting, I was fit into the quick range and told 340-360g was my range, we tested 340g first cause that was the head and was solid, added 10g of lead tape and that ended up being the sweet spot. For fun we tested a heavy head and definitely saw lag issues. 

 

Ping has for sure done their research on this but people can be skewed outside this and other parameters.
