No I couldn't get used to it. I game a Scotty Special Select now and am down to 29 putt average. I find I putt best with a blade on course. 

Thanks. I putted with a blade for 30 years. Despite the cold tech I Don’t know if I could get used to the look.

I pulled the trigger on one from there outlet store same specs as my scotty mallet.

 

I've been putting really well all year, better than usual but curiosity got the better of me and I had to try one.

 

I'm really struggling with the DF 2.1 I just can't get comfortable or repeatable over the ball, having to setup with the ball more forward than usual is really throwing me off add in the built in forward press and I'm not feeling it.

 

I've given it a good 6 rounds and and heaps of practice at home I really wanted it to work as I liked the whole concept behind it but I'm just so inconsistent with it.

 

I would like to try the mezz1 with the less forward press grip and it looks like the face offset from the shaft is a lot less.

Still love mine...almost impossible to go back to "normal" putter afterward as they feel like a snake twisting in my hand.

I tried the DF and found it to be really a good putter but just couldn’t get over how incredibly big it it’s. I mean it takes up one slot in my bag for the shaft but covers two of the holes. It is an awkward carry in the bag.  It is a great putter, rolls nice, holds the line and miss hits are a non issue. But wow- that thing is a beast. The Mezz.1 is where it’s at. I need to get fitted for that one.

Still gaming my OG DF Reno, but upgraded to the LAB 2M 3" grip when it was released. It took some commitment with distance control on mid and longer length putts, but it is as automatic as it gets. No issues on fast greens, even with the big head. Fitting for lie is pretty integral to the tech.

 

I find applying forward press in my stroke awkward, so I prefer the built in forward press. The depth of the Reno does promote a little more forward ball position for me different, but I prefer it.

I had one. I used it for a little while but could never get comfortable with it. Obviously it's really ugly, but the length of face, the soft feel of the face/grooves, and the face I couldn't use my preferred grip was just too much. It is also really huge in the bag and on the course.

 

Regardless because of how unique it is, it won't work for everyone. Golf for me is fun, so I play what I like.

the DF 2.1 with stability shaft felt pretty good initially, really smooth. However, I much prefer blade / napa and when I changed back into those and picked up the DF again, I felt like it just had no weight and no feeling to it.

 

The grip is quite light and spongy, which is nice, if you can get over the shape, then it's a really good stable putter. Feels like a super light "one piece", i guess that's the intention of the shaft and in this combo it really works.

 

Going to try to sell mine, as I much prefer the weight and feel of a blade putter.

I'm back in the DF with my Scotty blade as a back up. Only have 3 rounds with my new DF but so far I am liking it. I'm actually using it with an Evnroll mid lock grip and it feels much better than it did with the weird oval shaped press grip. I struggle with long putts but I have made a lot more 8-10 footers than I recall having done in the past. With a blade, I typically am the reverse.. lag putt much better but hardly ever make any medium range putts.
