Anybody use this? Thoughts/Review?

I tested this at a local shop and it looks really good and feels extra soft. Is this putter made for more of a flat putting style? I current use an old Teardrop td21 and it sets up well to my stance and stroke.

I love that putter, but it doesnt quite fit my stroke. If you're an open door/closed door type of putter, then its great for you.

what does open door/closed door mean? I don't think its right for me either, but it feels soo good off the face. It also seems like it would help me on those short puts, within 5 feet. For some reason, i tend to pull these putts :(

ive only tried the black series, not the black series i, but i really like them too, i would get one if they were reasonably priced.

it worked really well for my simple, pendulum, straight back straight through stroke..

When opening on the way back, sqauring it, than shutting it through is the major crux of your stroke instead of back and through in a kind of pendulum motion. The heel shafting is desinged to help with that so that you can pivot around it. But im not that kind of putter, so I would be inconsistant with it, even though I think its a superior putter. I havent hit them all, but that whole black series line seems pretty good.

i love the feel of the original black series (the ones with the all steel face) and am kind of mad that odessy doesnt make the #9 style or the 2 ball in the original black series because those would be great putters

I think open door closed door is misleading- it suggests a 180 degree arc.

I think this picture(stolen from TST's Detour review) best illustrates the style

      Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
