Anyone play one? I'm really considering buying one. Either the 2 Ball or the 2 Ball with. 

Golf in the summer, curl in the winter.

I don't, but I did buy a 2-ball putter as a birthday gift for a friend a few years ago.  Maybe a decade ago.

What are your goals for the club?  That might help determine if it's what you want.

Get way better at putting. I feel like from 2.5 feet I have a ten percent chance of making a putt, and obviously it just gets worse from farther out. I think my lag putting is okay, and my stroke okay as well (I pull the odd putt, but usually the roll is good). I think my alignment is terrible though. I have a lot of trouble visualizing a line. 

 

Recently I broke 90 for the first time with an 86, but I had 39 putts (and IIRC only one one putt which was a lucky one from maybe 30 or 40 feet). I also had a three putts from about 6 feet which is obviously terrible. But I think it highlights that if I'm not knocking it within a foot and a half I'm in deep danger of three putting and unless I am knocking it right in really close I'm not getting any birdies.

For me, when I pull the putt, my right hand gets involved too much. I think that's why some start using an alternative grip, to keep the dominant right-hand more neutral. I don't play the number 10 putter but have demoed it a few times in the store and really is quite impressive how the moi helps keep the head  stable. With your alignment struggles, I could see it being a good idea for you to get fitted for one of these putters and have them work on your alignment as well.

There are a couple of putting drills in this thread below. Have you ever been fit for your putter? The most important thing is to be able to aim your putter on your start line and then start it on that line. A fitting will help with both.

Here are a couple of more great threads on putting.

@boogieliciousposted some great drills for you.  And for me.  I'm terrible at putting.

Before you spend money on a putter, let's see if the putter is at fault. 

Also, counting number of putts is not a great metric.  Having really bad results, consistently, from where you should be getting better results, is.  So the three putting from 6 feet is bad and if it happens regularly, is something you want to work on.  Three putting from 45 feet, if that came as the result of a GIR, isn't a bad thing (it's something you'd want to eliminate, but if you're a double digit handicapper, it isn't a terrible result).  And if that 45 feet came as the result of a bad short game shot, then the fault is less in the putting (at least, for that hole).

I have an older 2 Ball and love it.   I'm still waiting for it to break so I can get to Erie to be fitted for an Edel.

I really like the way this putter rolls the ball and lines up.  I like the lined version in the middle of the two balls.  It would take a lot to get my Rossie out of the bag but I do really like the 2 ball ten.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
