T.P. Mills Putters - Which one is your favorite?

[apocalypsem3]

After much thought, I ended up ordering Professional Series Softtail. I was debating between Tradition and Softtail... however, I thought Tradition, although beautiful, looked too much like normal Anser type head that everyone else has. I think softtail has distinct look to it (with high toe) and looks unique compared to other Anser type of putters.

 

Obviously, if you go custom you can get any shape and form you want. But if you were to buy Professional Series, what model would you buy? Why?

[apocalypsem3]

Yup. It was either Softtail or Tradition for me. I might have to pick up Tradition sometime to satisfy my urge.

[glenwayputters]

Personally, I believe that most people will like the Klassic model better. It is the least intrusive of the models.

 

The softtail requires a very consistent stroke with a very "gated" motion to putt well with it.

If Klassic is more of back and forward type of putter, Softtail is more of gated swing putter.... then what swing does Tradition suit the best?

[KDMullins]

The Softtail is definitely the sexiest IMO, but it does require a more consistent stroke than some of the other models.

Agreed. Softtail does look sexier than other models. On the other hand, I also like the mean robust look of Tradition.

i am a plumber neck guy and like the klassic/tradition looks, but i had one of the stainless centershaft #1's and a plumber #1 carbon and they were better feelwise to me than the ones that suit my eye better.

 

but they're all great sticks...

My favorite is the proto number IV style.

[sync71]

My favorite is the softtail, that is one awesome looking putter. The klassic is a close second though for me.

[Ryun]

Definitely soft tail....

 

although lately I have been craving a klassic for no good reason

this is a left handed "version" of the putter that Drew is talking about.

that putter is coming to my house this week, should have it by wednesday and is going to be for sale shortly after I get it. It obviously is the proto for the new production model and is completely handmade. They had a time programming it, but it should be a very good seller.

Is the above putter going to be a production line? If so, when?? More $$$ to spend.

I'm a Fleetwood fan...seems I putt the best with it. I have a black carbon one right now, need to add either a stainless one or maybe oil can?!?

 

I thought I'd like the Tradition or SoftTail more, but I definitely putt better with the Fleetwood...any idea why Jay?!?!?!?

[MikeJohnson]

I have a Number One centershaft and picked up a centershaft Tradition last week. Should be in the mail, maybe arriving today. I got the Tradition because I putt best with a centershaft. Cant go wrong with a Mills either way.

[apocalypsem3]

Is production line Tradition head only come with centershaft? I would like to get a Tradition that has shaft placement like Softtail (midshaft I believe? Correct me if I am wrong).

Jay, put me in line for one of those when they are available, maybe with a little more offset in the hosel. Sweetest putter I've seen in a while!!

[developtech]

I know this belongs to someone on this sight but I have a severe case of lust over this one:

You have to love a plumber's neck Tradition!

 

Jay, what would something like this cost as I am saving my pennies and have birthday coming up? Also, is there any system for fitting a Mills? I have a Bettinardi that had to be bent 2 degrees flat while at the same time having a Ping 2 degrees up with the same stroke and shaft length.

 

Thanks,

James

I believe you need to go with custom option. And if I am not mistaken that will be around $450.00. Correct me if I am wrong.

They're all beautiful. I went with the softtail, though. The lines are so unique. It kind of reminds me of a Camaro from the late 60's.
