Putter Question

[tmoult]

So over december i bought an odyssey white hot xg 2-ball putter, i was really pleased with it. Now not so much, i find that for short putts this thing does just not work for me. I tried the scotty cameron Red X2 and loved it, i really like the alignment aid. Problem is im 16 years old and im not sure i want to pay $300 for one, plus i live in Canada. Do you know anywhere that i could maybe trade or sell my white hot, so i can buy a used X2 thats in decent condition. How much would this cost me?

Thanks,

Ebay
Craig's List
The SandTrap

I have noticed thou....

No matter what SC putter a guy is selling it is always *Rare*......

[tmoult]

Haha they are rare, because they are so expensive. Im not sure about ebay, my dad had a real unforutunate event when he tried to buy some clubs off there last time. Id love to find one of Sandtrap but i haven't seen any threads.

Bah don't give up on the odyssey. I haven't hit a putter i liked more than any odyessy. Try one of the odyessy blade putters. http://www.golfsmith.com/products/OD1040

I may not be the best man to talk to about it, but either way you're getting a quality putter.(I LOVE odyessy, it was my first putter and it will be my last).

I like it, my 2-ball works great for long, but when i get close i just find it hard to trust.

Well, I've always found the short shots hard with any putter mainly becuase of the pressure of "Oh yeah thats an easy shot". I wouldn't give up on the 2 ball just yet. Just practice some nice short shots and get a good little swing in it.

Go to this thread:
Scotty Camerons

and get in touch with the gentleman on there with the list of putters. He may want to trade or know of a way/place for you to upgrade.

BTW 1280 hits on ebay for SC. they aren't that rare - some individual ones are but I can't see all 1280 being rare!

Where in Canada do you live? I live in Calgary and I have a 33" Red X that I can part with. I love it, but I want to try a blade putter.

Is $150 in your price range?

If you'd like, a seller that I've bought from several times has a new one up for $150.

[tmoult]

I actually live in Calgary as well.

Any other ideas?

Scotty C's are certainly really nice...no doubt about it, but I wouldn't give up on the 2-ball just yet.

I find that on the short puts you mentioned....it's all about my left wrist. Maintaining a firm left wrist and aiming it along with the putter will drop those knee knocker putts consistently.

Good luck.

I would agree on ebay. You can usually find one that is fairly new or so slightly used that it looks new and not pay a fortune for it.

I have bought some clubs that were new in the box off of ebay and have not had a problem with it and not too high of a price.

Have you tried the Odyssey Sabertooth? I test drove one of those last week for about an hour and really liked it. I didn't want to like it because it looks so funky, but it just felt great. Long putts, short putts, whatever. I am really fighting the urge to get one of those.

[tmoult]

I like Odyseey i just find my 2-ball and its insert are starting to become annoying. I really liked the Red X, if you a bad stroke it will feel bad any the putt won't go where intended, but a good stroke makes everything seem perfect.

[jonanator]

The Red X does feel great on a perfectly struck putt, the feel is priceless!

[tmoult]

Haha yeah, i always think it will help teach me a better stroke, and not get by with my odyssey on a poor one. When i tried the Red X, i could really tell when the stroke was perfect.
