Seems like you would have to have the George Low Wizard 600 (and variants) on the list. I believe the Wizards made by Ram can be had quite inexpensively.

My apologies. I thought you speaking about the more 'low technology putters'. You were referring to the 8802, style. Don't forget the Scotty Cameron Napa Valley.

Thanks for all the replies.

Scotty Cameron Nappa

Haha, oops, don't know how I left that off the list.

Can't beat $4. Is it a forged putter?

Wasn't that Jack Nicklaus' putter, the George Low?

I should've gotten that when it first came out. Now there are only a few on ebay. Such a beautiful putter.

Ray Cook Classic Plus II

Yeah, I have the Odyssey Black Series i#9, love the style. I just want an 8802 style blade to go along with it.

I have a Dunlop putter in that style. Picked it up for $15 at Wal-Mart. Hope to get started on stripping it down and refinishing it soon.

Sweet, are you going to refinish it yourself?

The Nicky really feels great. It looks more like the Calamity Jane. I've never tried the Sophia before.

I'm going to try it. I figure that since it was only a $15 investment to begin with, if I screw it up, I'm not out much.

Pretty sure, I think it is circa 1967ish. The Tommy Armour version is more sought after than the Tourney, but the Tourney is still pretty sweet.

Yes. I believe the Sportsman George Low Wizard 600 is what Nicklaus won many of his majors with.

Do you know what type of finish yet?

I'm still researching finishes. I'm leaning towards bluing, but I'm not really sure.

See my signature:

About three months ago I took it up to a local golf store to get it regripped prior to putting it into my bag; upon talking to the guy in the "golf repair" section, he yelled out to a guy in the back, "Hey George, come look at this putter!" Then both guys told me what a beautiful putter it was. I've had it in my bag since mid-August.

    • 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.
