Like the 00. Just ordered one. Will be delivered tomorrow

played a round with it yesterday and I am impressed. Nice feel and sound, and easy to line up. Didn't think I would like all the lines but they work.

This is good to know, thanks. I have an Odyssey V-Line which has a similar alignment aid. Can't wait to get my hands on a 00.

so how is this petition for the 006 going? sucks that i just got a newport select...

[greenknight9]

^I was just thinking about this too. It sounds like they didn't focus on their new putter line or the new PCs at all during their Innovation Summit. Understandably so if they wanted to establish buzz about 2014...but I would have thought this would have been a great opportunity since neither of the above mentioned products got a ton of PR, which is unlike Nike.

Hopefully they still have some surprises for us...they have their sales meeting early next month and the PGA Show is coming soon as well.

Has anyone been able to find the Mod 90 in a store? GS in Charlotte and Chattanooga said they weren't stocking them, and GG seems to be on a special order only basis (per their site).

[JanKo]

Why do they always add some unnecessary "design" (red) stuff? These putters could look way more classic pretty easily.

[rollerd11]

This is disappointing. The 001 is great IMO but for a lot of people Im sure a sight line would be desirable. I just saw one on BST the other day with a line. However Nike won't release that or give anyone the option to chose a dot or line. And they have the Rory proto that would be a great release and compete with the other high end manufacturers for that 009 or DH89 crowd. But again no, they release toy looking putters. Just disappointed is all.

You can't see any of the red from address.

Now the drivers, on the other hand...

GS in wisconsin had 0 nike putters this weekend. I've seen them stock them before, so I was surprised they didn't have anything there.

That said, they also didn't have the new pcs that were released at the same time. I'm not sure how many retailers have the pcs on shelf just yet.

I have yet to see any in Dallas or on the north side of DFW at the major retailers and I've tried to find it to go demo. The guys at GS had no idea it was released, much less that it existed. If anyone knows where to find one in Dallas to demo, let me know.

I believe the Golf Mart in San Diego has the 00, 30, and 60. I rolled the 00 for awhile. It was really nice and loved the feel. Not enough for that price though.

We just got the PCs in, but we haven't ordered any of the MODs.

[wldchld22]

I agree. Maybe because these are in addition to the current lineup and not a replacement? Is it true we can expect a real upgrade to the method line come spring time?

No shops around me want to carry Nike putters because they don't sell especially at this price point. Nike has a LONG way to go before they can demand that kind of money for a putter. I really want to roll a MOD 90 but chances are slim i'll actually see one. I think $149 price point would be much more realistic and help these things sell.

[scratchswinger]

$350 is about $150 too much. Wait a few months and they will be going for $150 on eBay.

that gets the price right in there with TMAG and ODYSSEY +/- $50. if anything put the lower line "CORE" putters around $125 and the top line METHOD putters around $199.

[nova6868]

You can get them now for around $250. I think that's fair when compared to other milled putters, most of which are $300 or more.

[JC671]

Saw the MOD 30 & 90 in my local shop. The curve is just as pronounced as in the pics, but from address the 30 looks good. They feel a bit heavier than previous methods, which I prefer.

agree. Heck I spoke a GG in my area and they said $349 lol.

[scratchswinger]

They have them at local shops here for $350.

That is a horrible price point IMO. I cannot see Nike moving these at $350 at all..

One would think, I was there one day and they had about 12 putters (the entire line) I went back a week later and there were like 3 left.

I hope for Nikes sake they sell like hot cakes. I just do not see them being successful with this line at $350.

Geez. Map on the putter is $299. Price gouging.

[greenknight9]

350 for these these is outrageous. I thought 260 was steep for my method midnight 006. This can't last long, surely they aren't selling.

[justasgood]

I picked up my Midnight 006 brand new for $140.00..Cant stand it.

[mgodfrey]

Tried to check out the new Mod 60 (currently game an 003) but GG in Pittsburgh did not have any.

[Scotty1140]

I like that Nike is trying to think outside of the box a bit, but I'd agree that $350/$299 is craaaazy for these. There are certain custom putters available for around the same price point.

[greenknight9]

That price must be why a lot of retailers don't have them on their floor currently?

[shakey]

^^ that's it for my store. We had a lot of success with Scotty when it was $279 and then $299. Still pretty good at $349.

But that's been it. We tried the Black series Odyssey at $279 and the Anser line at $299. Dead. Both of them.

We sold a few Methods at $249 when they first came out but mostly through special order. I haven't had the first serious request for a MOD yet. We have sold the heck out of the Core series though.

The Core methods are good and priced accordingly. The only way I could see Nike charging $300+ for a putter and getting people people to buy them would be to bring out LE of Tigers and Rory's putter. I think Nike would be able to move those pretty easily IMO.
