I really like it

He does use a #9, but not exactly. He uses something similar to the XG #9, but it's a tour issue type thing, and is made especially for Phil.

Oh okay so I need him to do a Charlie Hoffman and throw is putter in the lake and then swim in after it to get it.

Damn

It's the White Hot XG #9 but I believe it is customized specifically for him. Maybe the black series is more similar to his.

It'd be a lefty model, though.

Watching Phil put is like and instructional video to me. The guy gets his arms down there and gets over the ball.

It helped me recently getting down lower and "lenghthening" my arms. Watching Phil sparked this change.

Not sure about his putter model....looks like it has roots on the famed Wilson model (I tried one of those for a brief while.....results were ugly for me).

It's a number 9 and it's like powder coated or something. I like mine just the way it is.

Re: What putter is Phil using?

I bought my XG #9 sorta-kinda because of Phil being a fellow lefty. But mostly because every time I went to Martin's and practiced with it I sank almost everything.

And it continues to agree with me on the course. I've had mine fitted.

For specifics on his exact putter:

Phill goes back and forth between the 9 which is only 33 inches and a special blade he had designed from odessey.

I believe it was 33 1/2" and now he's using a 35" putter. You know, because he "grew" an inch or two due to his stretching (i.e. he has slightly better posture now).

Re: What putter is Phil using?

his is really just a blade wilson 8802 style. I switch between a yes sophia and a wilson forged special blade putter and they are both killer. I almost like the old wilson better... :)

Phil's putter is 29"

No, it's not. I deleted your post the first time you said it because you're wrong. The quickest of web searches would have told you that, too.

Read it on Phil's site if you'd like.

Why the move to a longer-shafted putter? I've known that I've become a half-inch, inch taller for a few years... through some of the stretching and stuff [but] I hadn't really made an adjustment to that. I just thought [after the Masters], 'Gosh, I'm not putting well and now is the time to make an adjustment if I'm going to go to a longer putter.' So when I came back and started working on it, I just started with a 35-inch putter rather than a 33 1/2

WOW, That is impressive work there. However in a sense we're both wrong. I played against Phil in college and at that time it was 29", no joke. Not trying to be a smartass-that is the truth

Uhm, your public profile here says you were born in 1985. That makes you 22. Phil was born in 1970. He's 38. You must have been quite the child prodigy to have played against Phil when you were four years old in college.

Besides, you said "is" 29 inches. That's current tense, not past.
