Anyone use the Craz-E putter from Ping? Like it? Hate it?

Anyone use the putter and stop? Why?

Looking at this putter, I have an Odessey 'knock-off type' blade putter now and was thinking more of the "mass" with a mallet-style.

Thoughts, observations, etc.? THANKS.

I have the Ping Craz-e G2i that I have had for about 4 years and I love it. Just try to test one out and see if you like it before you buy it.

Thanks DezNutts ... and I'm sorry ... I have putted with the Craz-E putter in the stores. I like it, it feels more weighty than the blade, good pendelum feel. But I was soliciting opinions from players (such as yourself) who have used it in actual play.

I had the Craz-E G2i for a few years and it was a very solid putter for the time I had it. Eventually I got rid of it for my Scotty because I wanted to go back to a blade putter. You really can't go wrong with the Craz-E, very good putter with great feel.

I have one. It's an awesome putter. I changed it this year only because, after doing some research, I realized my stroke worked better with a blade. I'll never get rid of my craz-e though. It's just so nicely balanced. I also changed my grips on both my craz-e and my redwood to one of those oversized grips from Winn. Awesome grip. The grip also added a little weight to the putter which, for me, made it even easier to control.

I guess I could have described why I love it.

1. The feel when I putt is very nice & soft 2. It gives me confidence 3. I became a better putter once I bought it 4. I like the unique look of the putter 5. It has yet to let me down

I have been wanting one of these for a while. I'm intrigued by the Karsten series version as it doesn't have an insert.

I just got one of these an installed the Winn jumbo grip on it. I love the way it feels so far but I am still getting the speed and distance down as I use to putt with a Scotty Newport 2.0 and I was all over the place with it. I guess I like the feel of the heavier putter head over the blade. Maybe I shoud dig out the old Zebra Mallet putter and add a few washers under the plate to get a bit more weight on it.

I recently got one and like it so far. It improved my putting quite a bit. I really like its alignment line, a lot.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
