New Nike Method (Proto) Putters from the Sony Open

[GolfWRX]

[JayJar Binks]

Like the clean bumpers on some of these. Hate the red foo foo jewels on the retail line. Hopefully they clean that up with the new weights being on bottom.

[TRoc9892]

Looks like they took some of the shapes from the Core line and brought them to the normal line. Love the clean look with no alignment aids.

[TheMoneyShot]

Very clean looking. I wish the retail ones looked more like those.

[MarkFromTheUK]

The 003W looks beautiful. First Nike putter I have ever liked the look of.

[GC70]

Will we ever see these?

[GC70]

I like the 001-W or 006 proto

[mach 1]

The rep did say that they are going to release the methods with the removable weights but don't know when. As of now they are still in the prototype stages.

[ufgatrs82]

The lack of weight in the heads is the only thing keeping it out of the bag. Give it weights and it may kick the Newport 2 out.

Does the black line behind the face of the putter resemble a sound slot like scotty cameron's beached putters? Anyone know?

Is this one face balanced or close. Sure looks like a long neck. Anyone know?

[UncleKevin]

Hope they release that 001-W.

The PGA store here carries the methods with removable weights already

That's the polymer that's flowed in behind the face and makes up part of the metal/polymer grooves in the face of the putter.

[Ace32]

Yeah the 003 looks sick I still love the sight dot on the original 001

[Stretch]

I'll take this with a single sight dot, please.

If anyone hasn't tried a method yet, go try one. they will blow you away

[espressoo]

It might only be me but I'm simply not impressed with any Nike putter offerings? Nike probably has more available funds in R&D than any other major brands and can probably get any designer they want yet they don't offer anything appealing IMO. Even the finish looks a bit dull. I have to hand it to SC and some of the smaller putter manufacturers like Bettinardi and etc. It's all the same designs but they at least make their products appealing and desirable.

[JGalls]

Love that first long neck

[wldchld22]

It's the materials they use.

Personally, I would love to pay $300 for a method made at the oven out of better stuff.

I have a 006 midnight and it is close to being a great putter, but something is off. It almost has a cheap feel, like its lesser quality than an odyssey

[chiguy]

The 001-W looks fantastic. I've not yet tried a method, though this sure is making me want to.

[schneidm10]

I know it's something small but the oven engraving is cool. Kind of like the tour only on Scotty Cameron's.

Exactly what i thought. Something just not right. Tinny. Cheap.

Method # 5 was heavily considered before purchasing a metal x dart that replace a white ice dart last spring.

Mass produced corporate bottom line bean counter i really dont get/like/love golf kind of decision making if i had to guess what or where the issue is?

Cheers

[johnny5gti]

been using my 003 method for awhile now..the new one looks great!!
the method just rolls great..once you get use to the roll characteristics its awesome

[ChrisGio315]

Had a chance to hit the 001W yesterday at a local Dick's Sporting Goods and the putter is great. It looks to be a bit bigger than the old Method IMHO. I like the new white grips on the newer methods too..

[TheMerryTex]

The weighted versions that have been out for a bit now are very nice. I think they feel way better than the older method core putters.

I love my 003 and 001. For some weird reason I always come back to these putters.

The Oven method putters are a little softer than the retail offerings IMO. I wish I would have never sold my LE Method a few years ago.

Nike is going to have a big year in 2013. Putters looking good.
