I am looking to replace my Nike Ignite 001 and I've taken a look at the Scotty Cameron Select Newport line and some of the Odyssey putters as well. I am more of a blade guy but any and all suggestions are welcome. As a bonus, this is a birthday gift and budget will not be much of a concern.

Also considering switching to a Super Stroke grip, most likely the 3.0, anyone have experience with this switch?

I can only comment on the grip. I have a Taylormade putter, and switched to the Superstroke 3.0. For me, it gives me much more control, i.e. the stock grip being on the small side, had a tendency to move in my hands unless I gripped it tighter than I like to. The 3.0 being thicker, lest me grip with a softer pressure, yet I have good control on my putts. Not the cheapest grip @30.00, but well worth it to me.

I'm looking to switch to the Super Stroke for the same reason. I have a tendency to grip the smaller grip tighter and I am hoping the larger grip allows me to ease up a bit.

I really love my Odyssey Metal-X. Great feel but not TOO soft like the White Ice. As for the grip; I put the 3.0 Super Stroke on there and it totally took the feel out. So now I have a Winn midsize grip and it works very well for me.

Picked up my new putter about a week ago and I went with a Kenny Giannini G-4 No Neck. Decided to roll with the stock .580 Giannini putter grip and I will make a decision after a get a few rounds under my belt with it.

Thanks for the feedback!

How are you liking your G-4?  I have G-2 Chubby and I think it is amazing!

I LOVE my G-4. Part of it may be mental because I have a ton of confidence with my putter, but my putting has drastically improved this summer. I've played and practiced more which obviously helps but I don't think it would be fair to overlook what a proper fitting and confidence can do for your game.

I stayed with the stock grip and I don't see my self going to the SuperStroke.
