Currently I am using a very old Pete Cooper putter. Most people don't even know who Pete Cooper is and even fewer know he had a brand of golf clubs. The putter is very basic and I love it for that.

This isn't my putter, but it is as close as I could find. Just imagine that club face on both sides, and 55+ years old.

I do a good job putting, but I think a new putter could really help with those close misses.

Here are the ones I have considered so far. Please let me know what you think and anything else I should consider.

Also, don't pay attention to cost, because I might be getting it free of charge.

i had always been looking for the perfect putter and i really wanted a T.P. Mills...well, i couldnt afford a new one, and had a great opportunity on something close to a "real" Mills...i bought a Mizuno T.P.Mills Workshop IV and it is fanfreakintastic. its more og a mallet style, but man, are those close misses a thing of the past. and distance control has improved tremedously. i am a 88-93 golfer and one of my biggest problems was when hitting my approach from 100yards or further out...i was always on the green, but as far away from the flag while still on the green away....so my first putt too many times still left me with a killer 10'-15' footer...

now my lag putting is amazing and i am on my 5th consecutive "no 3 putt" rounds...

Hey... I can't give advice on the putters, but you're going in the right direction. I was using a similar looking putter for a while; mine was a Patty Berg Wilson. Moving to a newer one - I went to Ping Anser - helped very much. If nothing else, I felt far more confident over it and could hit it farther with less effort (necessary with where I was on greens at the time).

You don't mean Harry Cooper do you?

I've never heard of a golfer named Pete Cooper, but I have heard of one named Harry Cooper; Mr. Cooper was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1992.

Look into some yes putters, or maybe some taylormade putters. Its whichever suits your needs. Im really into the blade putters so i like the Yes Sophia or the Taylormade Rossa Imola 8.

I see there is a Northwestern Pete Cooper Model 100 putter for sale on ebay ($12.99 "Buy It Now" + 7.00 S&H;).

Still, if there ever really was a real golfer named Pete Cooper, it would be nice to find out who he is/was.

getting your new putter is a lot more complicated than you think. to many times people buy into brand names... I am one of those people. My scotty cameron has great feel and performs well but I didnt take the neccessary steps when purchasing the putter. it all comes down to your stroke, I happen to be a straight back straight through putter which does not really mesh well with the vision cameron installs when he creates his putters.

have someone look at your stroke... it will help

Go find some putters that look good to you. Try them all. Ignore the brand. When you find one that you can aim properly, and then putt so it rolls end over end, and finally feels good to you, buy it

Driver- Geek Dot Com This! 12 degree Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 Stiff
Adams Tour Issue 4350 Dual Can Matrix Ozik Xcon 5

Hybrids- Srixon 18 deg
Srixon 21 deg Irons- Tourstage Z101 3-PW w/Nippon NS Pro 950 GH - Stiff Srixon i701 4-PW w/ Nippon NS Pro 950 GH-Stiff MacGregor...

i think the putter is the most personal club in the bag. it isn't something you change when a new model comes along, which you do more easily with drivers or irons. putting is al about confidence, pick one which gives you that the most

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
