Interesting tech, like how it's detailed for each putter. The pyramid grooves could be make or break for people on feel.

[SEP1006]

I like the Battle Ready 1's much better mainly because they are black over the chrome/satin look.

[getitdaily]

Interesting. Did they go away from tungsten? Nothing overwhelming. 100% prefer all black.

[getitdaily]

Can't tell what they're doing with weighting.  You could easily see where weight was with the og br line. Now they have the black material that looks like heavy weighting but it's not as prominent as the tungsten on the br line. 

 

Odd release, initially...

[Cactus Jack]

I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

Some of their blade style putters like the Closer have an awkward pitch while some of their mallets feel a bit dead/dull. My guess is the goo will normalize the acoustics. The new face pattern is a bit concerning. I'm reminded of the original Cleveland SOFT profile, which was so soft it provided nearly zero feedback. 

 

I'll swing by their HQ this week for a closer look. 

[TheMoneyShot]

Wonder if they will offer a CB style in one of these? 

[Go_Blue!]

I wish you could get custom sight lines. I have a BR1 Closer and want a top line sight line instead of the flange line

The apache has your name written all over it...

[scott406]

Would love to try one of these out but it does not look like you can buy it form the website

You have to "schedule a fitting"

 

UPDATE:

You can buy them on the website now

Every putter has a "buy now" link

 

 

Also prefer the black

Hopefully the silver is muted enough so there is no glare on the greens

New grips too (with an upcharge)

It looks like some putters are available to purchase on the site and others aren't...strange.  You can buy the Brandon for example but not the Hercules.

It is on the radar ….

I love the look of these!  Especially the blackjack!  Would be very interested in the differences between these and the Gen 1 and 0211 series.  I usually veer towards the weirdly shaped mallets like the blackbird and 0211 lightning and found the lightning surprisingly good!

[Mr. Grumpy]

Was really hoping that they would offer the milled versions that were posted a few months back.

this, the ones naked free of sight lines look so so good!!!

[getitdaily]

So these are fully steel. No tungsten.

The Black on the back is not tungsten?

Wow

 

 

I am going to wait for the Battle Ready III that have all of this polymer goo in the putter and the tungsten weight in the back

You know it's coming (in 6 months probably)

According to the spying golf site...all steel with the hardened goo

The Apache looks intriguing, I've been considering modifying a Phantom X11 into an armlock putter but the Apache could scratch that itch while being purpose built.

I will probably try the blackjack at some point. 10% higher moi prob means that putter getting close to, if not over, 5000.

Just bought a OG BALattle Ready One and Done... I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. I like the all black look better and I already know where to expect from the face since I used a Brandon for a while. 

 

I do sometimes wonder if anything with extreme face milling or texture could cause issues if you happen to hit a dimple the wrong way, etc.

Played the original One and Done for a while. Great putter and super easy to line up.

 

Been playing the Battle Ready Gunboat since it came out. Also easy to line up and I do like the heavier head.

Zero concerns! PXG's milling produces one of the best rolls off the putter face IMO.

Moi values of all the new line

Blackjack over 5500. Apache over 7700.

Lol the Con line on that, just say you can't find one.

Yeah, that was funny. That site is a UK site, so I guess they're not as big there. But I did chuckle at that too.

[getitdaily]

Thr new blackjack is really good. Rolled it today. 

 

It looks a lot cleaner than the oh blackjack.  The back is slightly wider.

 

They didn't have the Apache so I'll go back next week and roll it.

Note from the guy at pxg yesterday...no more gunboat. I didn't ask, but I wonder if the raptor was a "one and done" model...

The Raptor was one of their better looking shapes.

I liked it a lot. It also seems to have been a shape that would have benefited from the new injection goo boosting moi.

 

But maybe it just didn't sell...
