I went from a B61 to a B60. Both nice. Then I tried an Ally 3 (face balanced) for a while. Now I'm working with an old Anser with a long shaft (over 36"). All the others were 35". I haven't strayed much from Ping over the years, but I have on occasion and always come back.

I've had a Ping PAL 4 since the late 90's and it's been a great putter for me. Just feels right.

Also, Ping has great service. I emailed them asking about how to get a head cover and a few days later there was one in my mailbox at no charge.

The magnesium bronze Ping Anser 3 from the early 90's has always been my favorite. I used one from new up until just last year. I got the exact same style just with a softer metal. The speed of the greens now, compared to then, was causing some feel problems for me. The ball would just rocket off the face of that putter. Now I have a few more options when putting. I actually felt bad when I took that putter out of the bag. I will still use it if I play a course that I know will have slow greens.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

You cant go wrong with the original Anser. Great putter at a great price. Im personally fond of the old J-Blade as well. I used to have an old bronze-headed J-Blade and I loved that putter. Within 10', I almost never missed putts with that thing.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

I have the Craz-E G2i mallet at 33" and love it. I have the opportunity to maybe purchase the same putter only being the G5i mallet. Can some of you that have the G5i that maybe upgraded from the G2i tell me what you like better about it. Mine has the blue insert and I don't see that in the G5i.

Thanks, boxcar

I have the Craz-e and really liked it but my putting stroke really called for a blade so this year I went and tried out a lot of different putters and loved the Redwoood anser from the moment I picked it up. It's in my bag now and I couldn't be happier.

I used a classic anser 2 for years, then used a karsten series anser 2 for about a year. They're both like 1 and 1a in my book.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
