right now i am using a 5 year old dunlop putter that i got when i was 13 (just to fool around with on one of those fake practice green things) and i just dont like it very much anymore...i can never seem to line up the putt correctly (it is a blade style putter)...i am looking for something like the odyssey white hot/steel 2 ball putter, but i cant spend $150 right now on a putter, as i am looking for a new driver as well...does anyone have any recommendations for a good knockoff/clone that plays nearly as well as the odyssey? thanks for your advice, you all have been great in helping me these past few weeks

i'm not real keen on the newer putters as im pretty much in love with my cameron newport2. but before i invested in a scotty putter, i used the odyssey whitehot #4. it has a really soft feel and i liked it a lot. im not sure if they are still selling these but you can bet they're cheap and if you can find a used one in good shape you might want to give it a shot.

sshashid87,

I'd look into buying an old Ping Anser or Odyssey gently used on ebay. Shouldn't run you more than $100 in great shape. Take it to a shop to get fitted and you will be in business!

If I were you i'd just go to a big golf outlet and putt as many different types as you can. Once you know how you like it ballanced (face for me), and you know the style (blade/malott short/medium/long) you may want to have someone there to make sure your eyes are in the right place over the ball. I think you should be able to get fitted for a putter but you may have to pay extra for that. Once you know all that info, I am sure you can find a sub $80 putter that fits your needs. I just picked up a $39 putter and it is doing it's job just fine.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
