I am regretting selling an old T-line putter of mine from the 70s which resembled a basic 8802 blade style model but with alignment marks.
I am aware of the Yes! Sophia and Cameron Napa putters, but am wondering if there is anything else out there of that style that I may not know about.

Thanks very much in advance!

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I used to have an Odyssey Dual Force 882 putter. I think the new model they have closest to that style is the one that Phil uses, the number nine.

I picked up a new Maxfli Crossbax 1.0 on ebay as a backup putter, can be found for around $30-$60. Appears to be a strait-up Wilson 8802 copy, with a slightly heavier head. You could also look for a Ping Tess model.

I just finally bought a left handed tour special I forged...been considering this for a while but couldnt find lefties. an all original grip very good condition for 35 bucks i couldnt pass up. unfortunately pulled the trigger a bit too late before it could get to my house and i take wifh me to D.C. so i have no response on it.

but from my high interest in this traditional style blade i recently found on golfsmith. the snake eyes sv1. It come just as a putter head but at $25 Its affordable enough to build your own putter nicely and still have extra money left over compared to some prices. people tend to write off snake eyes now that its owned by goldsmith but reviews of this putter tell me otherwise. Some say "like rolling marshmellows off the face"

only thing keeping me from trying this putter was its offered only as right handed. Probably golfsmith can only afford to research soo much and make soo many kinds.

not long after figuring out the tour special forged I

bought a yes! sophia from rockbottomgolf.com for 40 dollars! steal!

it was a putter ive been wanting for a while. i was a bit disappointed though.

the hosel is shaped a bit weirdly. its well behind the leading edge of the putter which i assume takes out the possibility of hitting the hosel. but i doubt that anybody uh sing this still putter has this problem. if they do they need to change putter styles, or hit the practice green more.

the alignment dot doesnt line up properly. its in the middle of the "c-groove" insert but that leads to the insert also being lined up incorrectly.

i thought maybe the dot was inside of the sweetspot to aid the path arcing but why would the inserts still be off center? i thought maybe since the grooves curve they help spin the ball a bit in order to help putts where the face doesnt close fully.

but this putter its a good putter. takes time to get over some of the visual cues. but if you trust it, sink it, and bag it you will be a happy golfer. this putter is better than my tour special in feeling softer and holding the green as well as precision distance control on mid-long and longgg putts. but the tour special has better feedback and possibly better lag.

its a toss up but hey why bag one, may start a blade collection.

next the 8882 BLK (black) putter since its the newest now offered in lefty.

rife bimini is a beauty.

cleveland design by arent often in lefty, and a bit pricey from what ive been able to find.

idk if mizuno bettinardi has any wilson blade style putters but id consider if they have one

im a much better putter now because of my Tour Special Forged. my best putting season by far.

      Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.

      Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
