I use the Tad Moore Tour Classic with the copper insert blade putter and it is by far the best putter I have ever used. I have tried the mallets and SC blades (Newport 2), but they don't feel the same in my hands when I stand over a putt. Good putting boils down to feel and the more we try to make it mechanical we loose our sense of feel on the green. Thats why when you miss a putt and you rake it back and hit it again, it nearly always goes in. Its because of FEEL. Thanks again for a great review.

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:46:27 +0000 http://thesandtrap.com/uncategorized/yes_sophia_putter_review/#comment-16235 I started using this putter and without any hesitation can say that I have knocked off at least 3 maybe 4 strokes per 18 holes just because of the way this putter feels. It took literally 5 puts to get the feel of the putter. Obviously being a 2008 model this putter cost me only $75.00 in 2009. I will be glad to sell my Odyssey putter to some unlucky person!

Nicky in favour of the Sophia because it has a heavier head and additional sight lines. This putter is excellent and will help you drain putts that otherwise you'd be happy to lag close.

I have been putting with a Wilson 8802 putter for the past 7 or 8 years and love the look of the putter, but it wasn't heavy enough for me. I was looking for a "modern" version of the 8802 and something that had some more mass to it. Just playing around with the Sophia I can immediately feel a difference. I paid $139 for this putter and there are no others that even come close to this price. In fact the only other putter that has this classic blade design that I have come across is the Scotty Cameron Napa, which is significantly more expensive. I recommend this putter to anyone looking for a classic-style putter that isn't gimmicky. I just picked up the Sophia and can't wait to play with it.

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 14:44:24 +0000 http://thesandtrap.com/uncategorized/yes_sophia_putter_review/#comment-6618 I own a Yes "tracy" like the one used by Goosen to win the U.S. Opens. I just purchased a Marilyn to try a mallet style putter. I am about a 2-3 handicap. I was looking for a putter to help me drop about 3-4 more putts per round to break into the 60's consistently. These putters just give you a chance to make more putts. It took three putts out of the equation for me. The question is how many one putts can I have with it? It will not make the stroke for you, but I can always tell a huge difference in the contact of a Cameron, Odessey, Rossa, Ping, or any other preferred vendor on the market. Sometimes I navigate back to an odessey just to feel how much difference the Yes actually makes. I have had a variety of other putters, nothing else comes close to the Yes line. Alignment is no problem. If you can line it up with other putters then the Yes! putter will be no different. I really think the c-groove will work for all skill levels. Mid to High handicappers will benefit from a truer roll....even with mis-hit's. Again, it give a truer roll everytime off the face. Other vendors have began to manufacture the faces with roll inducing technology. They are all pretenders. Nothing compares to the c-groove technology. Everything else is a mute point. I won't ever use another putter. I sold my cameron's and everything else. Please, don't believe it and continue to use whatever you are currently using. I love having any advantage I can get over people I play with. They think I hole so many putts because of my skills level. Little do they know. If you aren't using a Yes! then you are playing from position of disadvantage. I own a Yes "tracy" like the one used by Goosen to win the U.S. Opens.
