Playing around with some putters at the local big box golf store about a month ago and was sorta in the market for a mallet putter. Tried a bunch of them and settled on the Wilson. I figured for the price the if I did not like it, I wouldn't go broke and feel like I threw money away. Now I have only used it for a couple weeks, but I have to say, this putter works as good or better than any other mallet putter, I have tried. Not trying to push any product here but I have a buddy who uses one also, and he is very happy with his (Blade putter). Just putting it out there if anyone is in the market for one. Don't let the price fool you.

They ARE good putters. I bought my father "The L" model. He really liked it.

I should mention that the putter had a bit of a special meaning for my dad. He was retired at the time I gave it to him, but he had worked for almost 30 years for The Chicago Transit Authority. For those that don't know The CTA operates the subway system in Chicago and The L is what most people call it, because in Chicago the subway is actually an Elevated train system ... i.e. The L.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I have a Wilson mallet putter that I got pretty cheap. It has a face insert of some type that makes it feel like I am striking the ball with a marshmallow.  I don't like it.

In a golf market where people happily drop 3-500$ on a putter which is unlikely to lower their scores much if at all, the Infinite line is a hell of a value. I like the Grant Park myself.

I actually bought the Bucktown and  went back and bought the Windy City. Have two Scotty’s sitting in the closet. My Futura 5 is slightly lighter than the Bucktown but i have an easier time lining up the Bucktown.

I have been pondering the Infinite Bean for quite a while. I don’t need another putter, but I still want to try one of those.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
