Edel Moonshot Putter

Edel moving into the L.A.B. Cost range.

I am not spending $699 to 3 putt greens.

and yet Scotty Cameron is still $499

you can still get a Ping or Odyssey for $299.

I bought an Edel putter ten years ago, paid for both it and the fitting.  I'm glad I did.  The best part of it isn't the design;  it's the fact that at least I know my equipment isn't the issue when I have poor putting.  I can see, in a different life, being something of a club collector, so at least I'm not getting a bunch of putters every time I have a poor performance putting.  Although I'm probably getting a new putter cover, my current one is showing signs of age.  I just have to find one I like.

I have an Edel putter too and I like it.

This one, however, is a "rare" putter. They are only making 25 of them. 

Personally, I don't see the point of this particular "rare" model. I'm not sure what putting, Edel and the moon all have in common. This one's weird to me.

Normal Edel putters are $250 to $350.

I don't see the appeal of a rare putter either, and I'm not sure I spent $700 on putters total, unless we're counting the fitting fee for my Edel, and even then just barely.  I do have a few putters, maybe one could be described as rare.   I have a Ping Anser I started with;  that was the one I used when I first broke 100.  That's not the rare one.

I have one from a brand called Fisher that a friend gave (or sold?) me.  That was the one I used when I first broke 90.

The first bought-new-for-me putter I ever bought is when Cleveland had the <$100 milled putters.  I forget the name.  I own a semi-mallet of those.  At least, I own it in theory:  my mother really likes that one and uses it.  

I also have one from Maltby that I assembled back a dozen years ago or so when I thought that was the cool thing to do.  It's a fine enough putter.  I think my brother in law might use it if he takes up golf. 

I have a Mantis putter.  I think I got that from either a TST outing or as part of a TST member review.  I think I used that to win a lot of match play events at my club.  In fact, I think the last round I played with it was my club's match play (our match play event and club championship are different events) finals a decade ago, as shortly after that my Edel came in.

I don't think I realized until just now that I've owned six putters.  

I don't know what I'd do with a seventh of any sort (maybe a clone of my current Edel to leave somewhere else?).  A rare putter, which seems to cost as much as I have spent on putters since taking up golf two decades ago, would feel like an odd purchase;  I'm not sure what I'd do with it.  Playing with a rare item wouldn't feel right to me, but maybe I'm weird that way.  Leaving it on a display case would seem weird too, but I'm not much of a memorabilia collector of anything.
