Fowler was a fantastic putter circa 2014-2018 and he used a Newport style Cameron. 
 

 

 

 

He was good with it.  Then he got really bad with the Cameron.  Then he got really good again using the jailbird.

Mostly sure, but Rickie improved a lot with the JB, so there’s something to it.  

I dunno could be you know, an instructor…. Rickie was made fun of quite often here with his equipment. I think this is more a coincidence than anything. But everyone go ahead and buy one….👍

I thought he putted well when he had the SC circa 62 in the bag.  Man, that’s been a long time…

Maybe that’s the putter I was thinking of?  He was rolling it great.

👍🏻.  Probably won’t arrive until November, but point stands

I remember I did well for awhile 7 years ago with a Ping Scottsdale TR Senita B counterbalanced.  Cool to see counterbalance is becoming popular again.  I ordered the versa JB through my contact for a friend.  This year I went from Sacks Parente to LAB to Makefield.  I think I need to just play golf for a while and stop tinkering.  This one will just need to pass me by.  But I might jump on the LA Golf shaft bandwagon soon…..

If I got invited to play the Masters and they told me I had to putt with a tampon hot glued to a yard stick, my only question would be “what’s my tee time?”

Damn right!!!

Hmm.  Can’t see that happening…..

I can totally see (though I don't share the feeling) the mentality of not wanting to jump on the bandwagon but c'mon. What site are we posting on here? I'm in because it's the most "proven" putter design change in forever. Three wins with three different players in three weeks??? Beyond coincidence. All great players playing great but the design clearly has merit and the only way people on this site find answers is by trying things out themselves. That's golf. Also, Ricky tweaked the setup with the added lead tape. Ricky has been working on his clubs for a long time and Cobra is totally with him on that so changing his putter to something that works isn't just guesswork. He knows what he's doing.

Curious, was the Jailbird originally offered off the shelf in the 38"-39" models? Does it not change the putter completely with the additional 3"-4" in length? I mean 3"-4" extra makes a huge difference (insert all jokes and puns here).

The release has a heavier head than when it was released.  Combined with the length and heavier grip makes it counterbalanced.  You could grab an original release, use lots of lead tape, extend 4-5” and put a 17” SS grip on it to make it similar to those on tour

A few wins and a putter becomes iconic?  Looking back, I guess Luke Donald was probably the catalyst for the Number 7 Putter style.  Maybe Wyndham & Rickie do the same for JailBird.

I’m not sure about being “iconic” but the hype is definitely there right now!

I totally missed the window or I would have probably given one of these a shot. I'm taller and like the idea of a taller putter with a longer grip. Rocco messes around with setups like these too.

 

Wondering how the 17" 3.0 would work on a Stroke Lab 2 Ball. Thinking it would make the head feel crazy light...
