PXG Putter Feedback

Recommended Posts

I picked up a battle ready bat attack last week off a member and its very weird. Looks great and love the weight of it....but that face is weird. Instead of rolling off the face like a milled putter, it seems to grip the ball like a wedge

 

I rolled about 20 putts with it on the practice green and I was all over the place. Its too bad bc I was really looking forward to it

Give it more time. The face isn't causing you to be all over the place. Something about the putter (center of gravity, hosel style, alignment, etc) is the cause of that.

My putter came with the large Lampkin Sink Fit, which I like during the demo. However, now that I've spent a few hours rolling putts I think I might swap it out. The grip is large and heavy, and I'm wondering if something lighter would make the putter face a bit more crisp vs. thud. 

 

Has anyone swapped grips and noticed a difference in sound/feel? Does anyone know if PXG changes the weight configuration to accommodate the heavy grip? I believe the Lampkin weighs in the 120g range, so I'd assume changing a grip to something in the 60g range would result in a noticeable swing weight difference. 

 

Let me know which grip you're using and your experience changing grips.

They don't change the putter based on the grip. I hate that big, heavy sinkfit. I rip the lamkin off and put a ss on. But I also prefer a headweight in the 350-355g range and no heavier.

 I’m guessing it must be the weight?

I have the Spitfire and I also got the weight kit.

When I went to another course to play with hard fast greens, I swapped out the 10g weights (which it comes with) with the 5g weights and it made a difference in the speed of the putts.  I was able to make a pretty aggressive stroke on the ball with the lighter weights in it.  I would continue to tinker with the weights to see if you can get it to work for you. 

I have been very pleased with my Spitfire.  It has made me realize that I am not very good at reading greens.  The ball is going right where I am it, and that is also the problem 🤣

Thanks, I’ll definitely get a hold of my fitter for some lighter weights.

I stopped by PXG today to roll a few balls on Qintic with my new One & Done. This was a free follow up to ensure things were dialed. I asked if I could try a few different weights so they just gave me a set for free. Pretty cool and totally unexpected.
 

I have a Stability Tour shaft and new Super Stroke grip going on tomorrow. I love the alignment the head provides and excited to see how it will perform in its final form.

I received my slant neck Closer this week and gamed it for the first time this week.  Love the look and the roll, putted really well.  The only thing that bugged me a bit was the sound. A bit more tingy than what I’m used to being a long time Scotty user and most recently an Evnroll user.

 

Told my mates the only thing keeping from being perfect was the sound.  I wanted to put some cotton in it but couldn’t get the play screws off, only the weights.

the Spitfire rolls but the sound throws me off. 

I had the same issue with mine

Took me a while to get use to it

When you are on the green and putting, everyone in the group knows when you hit the ball and if you hit it good or not. 

That has its plusses and minuses depending on who you are playing with.

Blackjack seems great so far. Very muted soft milled carbon type feel off the aluminum face. Very unlike some of the clanky loud PXG putters of prior generations. Removing the front heel weight seems to Balance out the extra weight of the hosel. Sits dead square with no sole plate wobbling open or closed at address. Now to decide if it’s worth investing in a LAGP, Fuji, or BGT Polar shaft upgrade!

Does anyone know what tool will unscrew the smaller screws in this putter?  The regular Callaway and Titleist tool will remove the weights but I can’t find anything to remove the smaller ones showed here.

Not sure why you want to remove those screws. That holds the tungsten in.

Understand now. I tried that putter and know what you are saying. Would be interesting to see what you can do.

I just don't think I could game that thing...and I'm rolling an operator...it's just too much. Looks like pxg made a deal with directed force. Directed force gets the skeleton, pxg gets the guts.

Haven’t rolled either.  Pro Shops in the area still hit pretty good with COVID financial woes so stock is low.

Did this muting attempt work? Or does the type of ball used make a difference? The heel-shafted Closer sets up so well and I love the roll. Did not notice any ting sound with a chromesoft, but I don’t play that ball.

I finally traded in my Closer for the Mustang.  I love the way the closer sets up but I just couldn’t get passed the sound.  
 

it sounded like I had a ceramic club head, the mustang has a better feel and sound to me.

I'm the opposite. I thought the sound and feel of the closer was better than the mustang.

So the mustang is that much different? I can’t stand the sound of the Closer. Plus the face seems really hot to me.
