2 ball ten

[jomatty]

I took my new putter out for a couple rounds this week and I really like it.  The first time out with it I got to the course late and didn’t get to warm up.  On the first hole I had a tricky 15 footer, strainght down hill, and made it for birdie on its maiden putt on real grass.  A good way to start that gave me some serious confidence.  
 

Alignment is one of my issues and I like the two ball design for that, but have just never liked the feel of the putter.  The ten/spider shape is much more to my liking.  Using the 2 ball tour lined is really a good set up for my particular shortcomings as a putter, and combined with a line on the ball, really helps me start it on line.  
 

It is the first putter I’ve had with the micro hinge insert and I wasn’t sure I loved it at first.  As I used it more I started to gain confidence though, as the ball kept going in the hole (amazing how that will change your mind).  I’ve been alternating between a Scotty golo and a Toulon Las Vegas, and the insert was relatively easy to adjust to, although I did struggle with the longer putts some.

 
I know a lot of people are not fans of the stroke lab shafts, but I like them, and really liked the overall feel of this putter.  I imagine that will be something people either love or hate, as it does change the feel, but I am digging it.  It came with an over size  grip that I planned on swapping out, but I’m not messing with it until it cools off 😂.  

In conclusion, please let this honeymoon period last!!!

Rolled the 2 ball ten at PGA SS was very impressed. One putter in the rack that would make me switch. Love the stoke lad shaft too. Just feels balanced and swings nicely. May go back again and try it. Brought my ProV1 balls with me and it felt amazing off the face.

Just went back to PGA SS. The 33” Slant neck 2 ball ten will be my next putter. Love the feel off the face and the putter just flows.

I went in thinking I was going to pick up a 2ball ten slant neck with sight line.  The putter is large and felt like it wanted to sit closed when placed down on the ground.  It rolls the ball nice though.  Then I tried TM's new Spider EX with the new insert which I actually preferred much more.  Going to go back next weekend to PGASS and give both another run and make a decision.

Can’t see how the 10 would look closed to anyone. If anything it sits open with all that weight hanging on the back. Maybe you found a dud...

 

I liked the Spider EX a lot more than I thought I would. The alignment looked too busy in pictures but worked well in person.

I also tried the new Spider and it was good, but felt like the stability of the ten was better for me.

Could have been, it was the only slant neck with line in the place.  I agree the Spider looks a bit busy in terms of alignment, but the feel off the face was impressive.  The flow neck was a bonus.

I went in to Golf Exchange looking for grips, and walked out with a 2 ball 10s.  Made everything on the green and on their perfect practice.  I know it’s a rookie mistake buying a putter this way, but I loved everything about it.

 

The new 10s do seem to sit more square than the original.

Right after I ordered the 10 I started seeing pictures of the new spiders. I was sort of bummed I didn’t wait to try them both before pulling the trigger. I was relieved that I got along so well with the 10 when it arrived...I haven’t seen the new spiders in person though so no way to know which I like betterI haven’t seen the new spiders in person though so no way to know which I like better

I pre-ordered a 33” 2ball 10s and really like it so far. I’ve played a blade putter my entire life so it’s been an interesting experience but so far, so good. Didn’t feel like waiting for the Scotty 11.5 slant.

[getitdaily]

Whether you go ten, spider tour, operator or another of the "spider tour' shaped putters, that design is just so stable. So many options in that style. Match up the hosel type and insert type you want and then just get after it.

When did you order it and when did you receive it?   I pre-ordered and still hasn't shipped yet.

I needed about two rolls on the indoor green at the golf store and i was sold

[Backsidefloater]

So is the 2 ball just an alignment aid to get the balls in a row? Or is there more to it? Not like the 2 ball is new.. I'm just an idiot

Yess... to all taylor made especially putter buyer out there... please check your putters before purchase. I went througg a whole rack ata golf store of spider Xs last year... they all had some kind of crookedness defect to them. Very strange but could happen.

I really loved the feel of the new spider insert.  My Platinum EX with flow neck was delivered yesterday. It will be a shoot out between my OG 7s.

Anyone consider between 2 ball tour lined vs triple track? which one do you prefer?

I just picked on up today and will be heading to the course tomorrow...will report back soon!

[gioria126]

I picked up a 2 ball TEN tour lined yesterday and had a round this morning. I like the microhinge star insert feel, stiff enough, compares to white hot. Not as responsive as my SC Flowback5 but close to. The alignment is very easy and the ball rolls perfectly. My normal issue is short but today I pretty much passed the holes all the time. Very good at mid / long range lag putting. Only one 3-putt. Now I need to practice more to start making biridies 🙂

[soap1984]

I have never seen a slant neck sit closed it must have been defective in some way. Mine sits open 

[minhjn]

First round and I was absolutely unconscious with this thing. I made a lot of long putts. Don't think I hit a bad putt all day really. If I missed it was the read. Loving it after one round

Anyone knows if 33-35” all share the same shaft & grip? I know from the spec on website it states all heads are 365g. I’m thinking to shorten my 2 ball TEN tour Lind from 34 to 33, as we don’t have 33 here. But I’m not sure if this will make it to be the same as 33 from stock. I tried 2 ball TEN triple track S in both 33 & 34, felt 33 fits me better.

Wondering the same thing about heads weights. I would be needing a 33”. 

[soap1984]

I think they all have the same grips as the longer length models. I have a slant neck and a s neck which come with a pistol and oversize grip, respectively, and the slant neck with the pistol feels quite a bit heavier. Both are 34 length.

The head weights are all 365g for all length. Also the grip is the same as well. The only difference is the length of the shaft, and “maybe” the grip weight (something looks like a bullet, see below photo) they put in the butt end of the shaft. I didn’t know whether they put different ones in different length, but mine is 30g in my 34”. Anyway I simply shortened to 33” and put back the same weight. After putting in indoor mat I feel the distance control is better now. Will try couple rounds to see how it goes.

Did not know that. Thanks man.

This putter tempts me. . I struggle so much with my alignment and this will cure me, lol. 
 

What struck me about these putters is from address it somehow doesn’t look massive. Almost looks like it’s super thin, it’s weird. But damn they roll so well. Going to take my Spider in for bait tomorrow.

if they offered the tour lined 2 ball for lefty i'd get it...I rolled the 2 ball slant at carl's and it was really easy to line up and very stable.  I'd consider getting the regular 2 ball and having a line painted on...but not sure it is worth the hassle.

[Fourpar18]

Putting has been the WORST part of my game but today was a different day...enter the Two Ball 10!  Super easy to align and if I missed it wasn’t by much.  Loved it and I think I have a new putter in the bag!
