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.

    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
    • Day 30, 1/30.  Six minutes this morning hitting a few more range balls, indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Did this before leaving the house.

    • Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
