Sort of excited: did I score a major deal?

[immts007]

So I took my daughter to the range and putting green this am, and on the way back we stop at Play it Again Sports for my bi-monthly equipment browsing. I'm looking at putters, since lately I haven't been very happy with my Bobby Grace FLS. I've been thinking I might like a blade rather than a mallet - there's the usual bunch of junk; dunlops, black knights, zebra's etc... then I notice a ping grip on a putter with a cover on it, I pull the cover off and it's a nice blade. The price is $39.99 and I think "that's a little more than I want to spend, but this looks pretty nice." I take it up to the register and the woman behind the counter picks up the putter and starts to ring it up, and then starts frowning. I ask her why, and she says "Oh nothing, one of our newer hires screwed up on pricing this putter, but its going to work out very well for you.

How good a deal did I get???

Appears to be a good deal, but isn't it a bit too hard to align with???

I don't know... I guess I'll find out... I've been playing with it here in my living room and I seem to consistently hit it a little right of target.

I'm wondering if there is a way to paint some alignment aids on it that come off if needed and not affect the value? Also, is there any way to tell what year a particular scottsdale anser was made?

Found the answer



Nice to know that I could turn around and sell it on ebay for twice what I paid for it. I think I'll keep it though.

http://valueguide.pga.com/ is pretty cool, btw.

I thought those putters were rare, since ping makes their putters in phoenix now (rather than scottsdale where the company originated from.)

Either way its a great putter, I had almost the exact same experience when i found my gamer, and its stuck with me through everything

I would say you got a great deal!

Last year I bought a mid 1980's Taylormade TPA III putter on ebay that was brand new still in the original plastic. I payed the guy $100.00 for it but he doesn't know I would have went up to $150 considering the price of today's putters and this one was brand new and the one I wanted.


Maybe I'll start browsing my local "Play it again Sports",,,LOL!!!!

I've decided to use a sharpie to put some sightlines and an alignment dot on my anser. any tips or guides for determing the sweet spot with any sort of precision?
