Did any of you that went to the oven see any white method grips laying around..
[/quote]
No! I looked up and down that whole place and didn't even see a used one in the garbage. I asked David durning my fitting and he said that glover was the only one that used one, and I don't remember what he said about getting one on my putter. My neighbors daughter sales Nike golf clothes in Texas and she can't get one or find one for me.

[GMoney76]

Damn it! Anyone know where Glover lives? And his garage code by chance?

MNNikeguy tried as hard to get a white Method grip as I did to get the blk tour putter cover. Both returned empty handed.

[PapaJohick]

Oh ya so, isn't the 05 method what most here are looking for? I dunno maybe it's smaller or not the right shape exactly but its pretty dang close to the golo

[GMoney76]

I'm enjoying my ultra slim super stroke at the moment so maybe a new mod90 or mod60 w a red/white ultra slim and have the standard shipped in box? Can a guy order replacement red method grips or the midnight's?

[awil]

Sign me up for a mcow4 looking to have something similar to my squareback

First of all, there is no realistic chance that dalehead Anser will become a massively produced milled OTR putter. Scotty Cameron won't do it for 009, Bettinardi won't do it for BB0, Byron Morgan won't do it for DH89 because ... well he's a one-man shop. I don't know if there is manufacturing limitation to mass produce the head shape or there is this secret code in the industry. Again, I'm talking about high-end milled putters. Nike's strength in putter is the groove, not mass producing some challenging head shape. Never thought it would happen, and certainly not surprised when it didn't.

Secondly, I personally believe it makes no sense for Nike or any OEMs not named Cameron to allow consumer customization. Scotty Cameron putters are an art. All major OEMs are about top lines and bottom lines. Customization is really really bad idea when you try to scale up any product.

Thirdly, MOD 30 does not look like a 001 to me. It seems to have a very squared heel, not slanted like 001.
[/quote]

I'm a little confused. How many Scotty 009's do you think that have been made total? Do you actually think Scotty makes these 1 by 1 like a prototype name means ? Same goes for Bettinardi BB0? If they (Nike) wanted to bring them to the public they could. As far as making them a retail line I never said that had to happen although it would be nice. They (NIKE) could listen to the golfers here at golfwrx who like the style of the Rory/Tai Proto and release a limited run. Just like they did with the 001 that has The Oven Stamp. They could pump out 500/1000 no problem and they would sell, that's all I was saying. They make 10-15 different putter models but you say they can't make a 006... why? If they are all milled out of a single piece of stainless they will have a higher price tag, that's all. If it's too pricey to bring the 006 to retail then have a limited run of whatever # say up to a 1,000. They would sell very easy. With all the wasted spending OEM's make on clubs over the years that fail and goofy heads that last for 3 month cycles. If they are willing to keep taking risks on gimmicks why no bet on a sure thing? That's all I'm saying. JMO

[/quote]
I think the MOD 30 has a chance to look really good. I always liked the 001, but I like a sight line. This seems close to that. I'll pass judgement when I get to see it.

I'm not a lefty, but I'll try and defend them here. How can you make a putter like the MOD 30 and not have a LH version of it. Seems like a better putter to do LH than the MOD 60. (unless I read the catalog wrong..this could be irrelevant)
[/quote]

Hey Shakey, thanks as always for all the information and by all means you guys did awesome on your posts from The Over. Can you find out or do you have any guess as to when the new pro combos will be out left handed? Definitely sucks having to wait until probably March for these..

Also to The Over guys who chose the new pcs, have you guys got them yet and did they come with blades?

Though decision on whether to wait for the new pcs for the polymer in the pocket cavities or just get the current set for cheaper now.. I'm still around a 20 handicap but have made vast improvements working with a coach and am replacing most of my original gear...

Any advice helps but again thanks to all who are supplying info!

For the two of us wondering, this came from Nike Golf about LH Pro Combos:

"They're available through a custom order. Your local retailer or pro shop can place it for you."

Doesn't tell us much, such as release date or what kind of customization you can do but it's something. Glad it's an option, hopefully with a custom order we'll be able to go all splits, add blades (at a later time if these come out in Nov. for us lefties), etc.

[wldchld22]

The more I look at the modern days the more I want to check them out. Even the billy barue with method tech!

Haha right RJ? Just the two of us in the world of lefties wanting to play Nikes.. Where did you hear that? Hopefully not too long after November..

[wldchld22]

Ok. I've been looking an researching and hoping someone can break this down or me. How are a 009 and even a protoTai different from the current method midnight 006?

They look the same in pictures buy I have only seen the mm006 in person. I have long been a Newport 2 guy. I have been tempted to experiment with a Newport but this method tech would be great if I could find a head I like. The mm006 to me just seemed too small compared to my beloved bbnp2

Thanks for the photo. Sad no MB in the short irons.

[mack_n_rolla]

"RM006" is coming out for a limited time. The iD program is also being considered for the VR forged line for '14.

If that is true, I will have to do some saving now to acquire it. Hopefully not crazy limited.

[ButterSwing]

Looks like the Titleist 735cm will be the last true combo set featuring true blades coupled with a progressive cavity back design...one of the best sets ever designed imo!

[tommy89]

Is that it? We've waited for that?! Hello Miura

If accurate and it comes with the black swoosh cover, a purchase will be made!!!!!

[Swopes30]

Do any of you in the know; know if the new putters mean they won't be selling the original 001 anymore?

I have not heard of Nike discontinuing this line as of yet. I sure hope not though.

I think it will be available until all current inventory is sold through.

I was just able to order a 003 for a customer.

[GMoney76]

If the iD program is available and you can fill the swoosh , lettering , and lines... That's awesome. The pic from golf digest does these a bit more justice as you can see the 'forged' and lines better. I knew they would grow on me:)

Can the oven trip folks shed some light on the wide sole wedges? Are they that good and would it make sense to have wide in 52,56, 60 or just the one you use from the sand the most ?

[nick.woods76]

guys making a big fuss about the putters...

I think the irons look amazing as do the current wedges

Cant wait to see pics of the covert forged

If you find out they are discontinuing the original method line that includes the 001 please let me know. I may buy another backup if this is true. Thx!!

The 001 is the only original method that is still in the 14 catalogue. I did not include it in my post because I think we all know what it looks like. I am assuming that what shakey said is right on all of the other models (selling until theyre out) but for the 001 I think it will still be readily available. Of note though, none of the method midnights made the new catalogue so maybe a rory 006 is on the way. Fingers crossed.

[madaboutgolf]

will stick with my original pro combo's i think..
