I just got one (Craz-E) over this past weekend and was only able to 'test' it on two courses. I faired much better playing with it on the second course as I got use to the feel of the head and weight of the putter which is something completely different than my outgoing Mizuno TP-Mills blade which I liked very much.

I didn't need to get a new putter as my stats indicate that I'm putting 1.70 putts per hole which is not too bad. But I was in a store this weekend to look at the Ping Karsten Series putters that achieved the Gold rating by Golf Digest. At $100 it was something I was definitely interested in looking at. But after stroking a few putts with the Karsten it was simply no different in feel and look as my Mizuno that I had so I thought it would be a waste of the $100. I then saw the i-Series Craz-E and normally I'm not a fan of the mallet alignment putters but I tried a few strokes with it and was instantly impressed by the weight and feel of it. The putts I made were also alot straighter and on the line of my intended target everytime versus the others. The price of it too was irresistible at $139. So I picked it up. Again, I'm mostly impressed with the way the ball goes along the intended target line and the feel of the heavy head.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
