Nike Golf’s Ignite putters offer a soft responsive feel with a full-face polymer insert that is 85% lighter than steel. The full face polymer insert enchances feel and increases the putter head's MOI (Moment of Inertia) for a truer roll. The weight savings realized from the polymer face is redistributed to the heel and toe for more stability in every stroke. Each putter face is CNC milled flat to precise tolerances to enhance accuracy and predictability across the clubface. Four different putter styles are available to accommodate player preferences.

I love the Nike Ignite putters, i tried the larger one (bottom right of the picture above) along with trying a few other putters. I managed to sink more puts with this one than the others. Its 4 dots show weither or not your clubface is open, closed etc, which is good for the players who may push their puts etc.

I have been searching for a putter that provides me with consistent distance control. The best for me was the Futura Phantom mallet, but somebody stole it and I was reluctant to spend that much again. I also was not completely with how it lined up with it's floating toe.

 

I tried almost every putter in 2 major golf stores, and have tried the Hogan Hawk(pretty good) and Yes Tiffany(never got comfortable with it). I went to these stores 3 times with the idea that I would buy an Odyssey, but just didn't like the feel of the white inserts or the light weight of these putters.

 

I liked the feel of the Nike unitized, but not the price. As an afterthought, I grabbed the Ignite mid-mallet. This putter looks like an oversized version of the Odyssey White Hot XG 9, but had a much better feel to me. I was amazed at the feel and distance control that I had with this putter. I left without buying it, and returned about 4 hours later. Once again, the putter felt right and gave me the control that I have been seeking. This time, I bought the putter.

 

I have played 9 holes on 2 different courses since my purchase. Both courses have fast greens with lots of break. The Mid-mallet has performed very well for me- 3 birdies and several other 1 putts. There have been almost no really bad putts. This putter appears to be very consistent.

 

It would be a mistake to eliminate this putter from consideration on the perception that it is inferior or of a lesser quality. This putter is the best that I have found for me, and I have tried many, many putters. The only criticism that I have is the cover is very small and flimsy. I can live with that as long as the putts keep dropping, however.
