Okay, I'm a fan of the limited edition stuff. 
I've purchased at least one "limited edition" driver in my life. I've got 3 different pairs of limited edition True LinksWear Shoes. So, I would say I'm pro-limited edition golf equipment. But for some reason, this one just doesn't do it for me. 

Firstly, this putter (regular edition) is now selling everywhere for ~$199. But this version is 500 bucks. The other issue is it just doesn't seem unique or interesting enough to make me say "Wow".

Am I wrong? What do you all think? Would you be interested in a Limited Edition Dustin Johnson Masters Inspired Putter? Let me know.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I don't get it at all, just seems like an overpriced Spider. But I don't collect golf stuff, so maybe there is something about this that a collector would want.

What will this putter mean to you in 1, 2, or 3 years from now? Will it hold it's value?

No.

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

I like DJ as much as the next guy. But in a couple years are we going to be looking back at his Masters' win as "One for the ages"? I don't really think so. 

So, unless you are just the biggest DJ fan out there, or for what ever reason the 2020 Masters really meant something special to you. I don't feel like this Spider is "Special" enough. 

Oh, and one other thing. 
The Taylormade Spider putters are notorious for the paint chipping. If you buy this putter to be used on the course, it might be kind of sad to watch it's paint slowly deteriorate over time.

I’m not fond of the look either. Looks like the tail end of a 50’s Chrysler.

I gamed a TM Ardmore, similar to the one Tiger used for a bit, and the red paint started chipping off prematurely. TM definitely has paint issues, imo.

    • Our home course would be very interesting.  It is short from the black tees (around 6000 yards) and very few holes are considered not reachable in GIR for golfers who drive max 250 off the tee.  But there are two difficulties.  Only 3 holes don't have an OB though admittedly in some cases it is just behind the green.  The harder part is almost all the fairways slope away on both sides from the centre meaning if you hit a draw or fade, you are likely to wind up at the edge of the fairway or off into the rough if you bounce in the wrong place.
    • I assume the 3 iron in your iron set would do the job.  If you don't have the club, you should be able to buy it as a single club
    • Day 45 (16 Jun 24) -  Happy Father's Day all - got in a few swings with the clubs, focused on alignment for chipping and pitching.  For me if the target it 12noon, I need to have my feet somewhere around 11 for a solid dead on line pitch/chip.  Worked from about 5yds out to 25yds.  Worked through a series of clubs - 54, PW, 8i and 6i - noting flight patterns of each.  
    • day 94. Realized I’m getting a little too handsy. Worked on getting the club into good places and much shorter, slower swings to learn the movement. 
    • 16th was a bit of loss of concentration and 18th looked like a low percentage putt from get go. I thought he ran out of mental gas those last few holes.
