F2 Hamilton putters

[spyderwerks]

I did a few searches but couldn't really turn up any info here, so forgive me if this has already been discussed.

But, I actually watched a few minutes on and off when the F2 Hamilton putter infomercial was on the Golf Channel this morning. Yep, there was recently an imfomercial thread also.

Just wondering if any of you have, or have tried the F2 putters? I'm curious about the HM4 or the HM6 mallet models. I know much of the info on the infomercials is at least stretched to almost BS, if not already in the BS catagory. I would like to hear some comments of actual owners and users.

I'm happy overall with the 2 putters I swap out and use currently, but I'm always on the lookout for new toys, and the pricing is not overly rediculous like many of the 'major brand' names I use/have used .

Hey Spyder,

I bought a used one on ebay for 35.00 and it stays in the bag. I like a heavy putter and changed the weights out first thing. This is a prototype and does not have the F2 badging on it, just says Hamilton.

It has plenty of feel and swings true. The part about off center hits rolling straighter has worked for me a few times. The insert is very hard but feels great on a ProV1X that I play. It is a well balanced putter.

I am a "feel" player and this putter just feels good in my hand.

I prefer a mallet putter vs. a blade and have not been disappointed in the putter.

Is it magic? no Does it work with a good swing? yes Does it feel good? to me yes
Would I pay $100 bucks for one? no Would I pay $35 for one? I did

Overall, I have reduced the number of three putts to about one every four rounds, but as they say results may vary.

Thanks for the reply. Like you, I consider myself a feel player also. If it doesn't look and feel just right I'm just not gonna play it well.

I really don't know what caught my eye on the F2 putters, but something in the style and looks I like. And after thinking about the supposed insert technology I though, 'well, if designed correctly that does have merit'. My one concern is that for the last few years all I have played is center shaft model putters. It would probably take some getting used to the visuals of the offset hosel design again. However I do see on the F2 website they now have a HM6 model with the double bend.

I also prefer a mallet design. Usually I play the Cameron RedX2 on the quicker bent greens I mostly play. I'll usually switch to the TM Monza Corza on the grainy slower bermudas. I like the idea of the heavier weight in smaler head design the F2 may offer.
