Nike Method Origin Putters: The Official Discussion Thread

[Medson]

Love everything about the putter except the grip. Weird shape and feel.

[NikeDD59]

Does anyone know if having the lie angle adjusted to 2 degrees flat is possible? I plan to take my Rors to golf mart to have the lie angle changed but wanted to see if anyone here has had the work done before? Thanks

Anyone know which grip would be closest to the standard method matter grip? I want to replace the grip on the origin with the matter grip but have been unable to find one. Spoke with Nike and the only way to get one is to have a store with an account order one, but most stores won't order a single grip. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Discount Dans should be able to order you one. That's how I got mine.

Thanks for the info! Was able to put an order in with Discount Dans. Looking forward to getting it on the Origin.

Can anyone confirm whether the shaft in the non-RORS B2|01 is a .355t or a .370? I haven't got mine in-hand so I can't check for myself.

 

Going to pop a YSC stepped shaft in there so I'd like to be prepared and have a shim ready should I need it.

[snagy2000]

Looks like I will be sending my RORS back to Nike on Monday.

[george49]

Tried the B2 and B1 both regular and counter flex options. Like all 4 put not at the price of Cameron. I need Patience...

[CarlSpackler910D3]

Anyone from the new haven area of connecticut know where I can try one? the golf galaxy and dicks near me doesn't have them. The golfsmith in norwalk doesn't either.

What was the reason? How long did it take Nike to process your return?

[snagy2000]

Mine was never played on a course so they took it back as a 90 day golf unused equipment return. Took about a week to get my money back. They were a little confused at first because they hire idiots as CSRs who had trouble understanding the return policy for golf equipment. Great at returning shoes and apparel, but not equipment it appears.

Hartford GolfersWarehouse has 2 B2-01's and 1 B1-01

[GolfGrouch]

A little off-topic but does anyone know where we can buy the Method putter grip found on the Rory edition?

[snagy2000]

When's the fire sale on putters begin? Asking for a friend...

[Jmurph424]

I foresee these tanking in value and then in a couple years going back up.

[GolfGrouch]

For it to appreciate, there would have to be a demand spike. Why would that happen in the future? Nike tour pros are abandoning the Origin like the Titanic and Rory probably putted the worst in his lifetime with it.

Actually, that statement is false. By the numbers posted in a different thread, Rory actually putted worse with his Scotty than any Method putter. I forgot what thread it was in, but the numbers were there. Surprising, really.

 

It's a few pages back from the end of the Rory testing a new putter thread in the tour and pre release section. *****

[steelman83]

Just traded my Scotty studio select fastback for a brand new b2-01 am so glad I did it. Freaking love this putter.

[scottb15]

RORS origin back on Nike site.

[Flagrant]

lol

[mcmac]

RORS origin back on Nike site.

 

They have some incredible deals going right now. The Rory Origin is just one of them. I also picked up a set of Vapor Pro's (left handed) for my son-in-law for $240.00. 3 - PW... couldn't pass it up.

 

I had to log off before I burned a serious hole in my wallet : )

Hi, wondering if anyone can give me some advice.. I am new to golf, been playing for about 3 months.. I have a fairly cheap set of clubs I am using which is fine, but I am going to buy a putter for myself..

 

I am debating between 4 Nike putters

 

B2-01 w/ Counterflex

 

B2-01

 

S1-12 w/ Counterflex

 

S1-12

 

I am looking to buy one of these, well because they will be fairly cheap where I can get them from.. $100 for the B2-01 and $60 for the S1-12, no price difference between Counterflex or non Counterflex, so pricing is not an issue when it comes to that part of it..

 

Really my main issue needing advice is do I get the Counterflex or non Counterflex grip/sytem? Any comments on both either the plus's or minus's to each? Can the counterflex grip be changed need be? Or does the Counterflex system require a different grip? Any advantage or disadvantage on either?

 

Thanks in advance

[willy18]

You can't really convert one to the other. The shafts and grips are different. The best thing to do would be to try them all and pick the one that feels the best. Everyone's preference is different so other people can't really tell you what will be best.

In addition to Willys advice, you will want to know what length of putter feels best as well.

I have the B2-01 in both the 34 and 35 inch... there is definitely a difference in feel when swinging the putters. I really like B2-01 putter however.

Good luck and make sure to get your order in before they are gone! I see that some of their clubs are starting to sell out.

Thanks for the replies, I had went to PGA store and got sized for a 35 inch, so im good with that.. I think I will just order 1 of each and return whichever one I dont want..

 

As for them selling out, tell me about it... Yesterday I had the Rory edition sitting in my cart for $100, went browsing some other items, took to long, it was removed from my cart and someone bought it and was now sold out..

I have a family member that works for Nike, I can purchase from the Nike employee website.. Currently all the Origin putters are $100, every other putter is $60.

Man, that's awesome!

[jnorm007]

Just went down to the PGA store to check them out... HATED the S1-12, really like the B2-01 Counterflex.. I think i prefer the feel of the Counterflex to the original, although I will say it is quite a heavy putter.

[BlackM00Nlight]

Curios if anyone has tried or sent a method origin to be refinished black. I think black would look sharp with the blue popping out. Paint fill the sight line blue as well to match the rest.
