Welcome to yet another topic created by me. I don't like my putter very much, and am looking for a new one. The most I'm willing to pay is $150, maybe $175.

I'd go with a used Cameron or a new Ping. I can't suggest a style because that's up to you. But Ping has awesome fitting tools. For example they have a fitting putter with a telscopic shaft. You can set the length to what feels exactly right, then the head will bend up and down to level the toe to the ground no matter your adress position. Then you look and the club and there are your specs. You could use that to spec any style or brand putter, so check it out.

I love my Ping G5i craze-e, easy to align and hard to mishit.

I'd suggest the Odyssey White Hot XG line, specifically the #9. The best deal is the Ping Karsten series which is $89 for some great putters.

Okay, you seem to be close to my handicap. I went through a few putters before I ended up with a Odyssey White Hot Sabertooth. I lost my original oldschool blade putter which I was pretty good with but went through a few trial and error periods with putters. This putter has saved many strokes for me. It's right in your price range so give it a try!

I would say give as many as you can a try, having said that, for your price range I would look at Odyssey and Yes! Golf putters.

Gonna be a lot of opinions on this one.

I like most of Odysseys white hot XG putters. Used a Rossie for a long time. If you like the insert I think you will find one at a good price point that will work for you. Although I liked the Rossie, I Switched over to a Yes! Tiffany.

The Yes! hit great in the store, but I found it to be very unforgiving and innacurate on mis-hits. But, when you hit it right, it was a dream. That putter pointed me towards the putter I use now, a Rife 2 bar Hybrid (center shaft).

The Rife is easily the best putter I've ever hit with. It's out of your price range by $50, but I'd at least look at one. Also, I saw a post in the sale section for a Rife 2 bar mallet for $160 shipped. That's in your price range and I'd look at that as well.

Good luck!

I love my Rossa Monza Spider. Can't say a bad thing about it, though some people may find it too large for them. Its hard to mishit a putt with it.

My dad has an old Ping Anser, and I love that, so I might go with a Ping putter. I also forgot to mention that I don't really like mallet putters, but thanks for the suggestions.

If you like the old Anser my guess is you would like the Karsten that was suggested earlier. I know it's cheap, but it gets great reviews and would be available in any length or lie you like.

The Rossa Monza Spider is a great putter, you should give it a try. It so effortlessly follows through its own shot. Best weighting system I have EVER felt.

These get great reviews, but I would definately call this a mallet putter and the op said he wasn't really into mallet putters.

I was going to suggest odyssey but considering you like the feel of the Ping Answer, the odyssey may have a feeling that is too "soft" for you.

Check out the Yes putters. I putted with a Yes Sophia....let me tell you...it had a nice solid feel to it. If I hadnt come across the odyssey black #9 Id still be using it.

You might prefer the Yes Tracy II or Callie....give em a whirl and let me know what you think...

I suggest you try the Ping Karsten Series Anser or Anser 2. Both are about $90 new and both feel great (to me). I bought the Anser myself.

      I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.

      With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.

      So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
