Putter options - wide blades

[Jamie_Tee]

I've ordered from Sink golf and only have good things to say.  The quality for the price is amazing.  Look much better with the "SG" stamp rather and "sink" in my opinion. 

 

I've got one of the wide bodies, but centre shaft.  

 

Get it stamped with something cool and forgot about resale value!

My first venture into what I consider a wider blade.  One of the best feeling putters I’ve owned.

Just put the Scotty Squareback 2.0 in the bag and I do like the feel of this putter on the bermuda greens I play.

Seeing as you're in the UK I would suggest the Sink Golf Wide Blade. https://www.sinkgolf.co.uk/collections/all/products/303-stainless-steel

 

Price isn't bad at all and Olly can customize the head if you want or mill you a custom one.

I posted this on the other thread but since they’ve been mentioned here…

 

I had some emails and a phone call back and forth with Olly, as I like the simple silver look and as plain/uncluttered as possible.  There were options for a custom one but  in the end went for the standard 303 SS head with no paintfill and a different grip.  It arrived yesterday and I’m really happy with it.  
 

Great service from Olly and a great product as far as I’m concerned.

 

On a side note - the Sink Golf website fails to mention how high quality the headcover is, very solid, a good secure fit and a strong magnetic closure.

If you are willing to go old school, Nike Method 004.  I gamed one for a few years.

Have you had a chance to play with it yet? Be interested to know how you get on with it, as I do like the idea of getting one.

Briefly.  On the mat at home with e12 balls it feels pretty much perfect.  I had it on the course yesterday and with a harder ball it felt pretty firm.  I’m coming from an insert putter and wanted a firmer feel so that’s fine, and I need to get used to it.  With it being fairly solid (stainless steel not carbon) I guess feel will depend a lot on the ball.  But I’ve found it nicely balanced and easy to make a smooth stroke.

Ball will have a big impact on putter feel especially with a milled putter. But that's a good thing cause you can switch out balls depending on mood or course conditions.

Thanks.

 

To be honest a firm feel is a good thing for me. I’m not a huge fan of soft inserts, and I don’t like to feel like I’m ‘hitting’ putts, so a firmer face is good. 
 

Sorry to keep asking questions, but does the head feel quite light or on the heavier side during the stroke?

That’s exactly why I got this one, I didn’t like the sense of having to hit the ball with my previous putters (Odyssey Exo and Ping Sigma).  With this one it feels more like a tap to get the ball moving, with less “backswing” required to get the same distance.

 

I think it feels on the heavier side during the stroke.  Certainly heavier than the Sigma (B60).  I think also a heavier feel than the O-Works 1W and Cleveland HB 4, although it’s been a while since I had both of those so I’m relying a bit on memory there.
