Nickent Pipe Putter

[NM Golf]

I searched but found no review on the new Nickent Pipe Putter. Has anybody else had a chance to try one of these out? I got one from my father and is it nice! It aligns better than any putter I have ever used. After I started using it I immediately noticed that I started the ball on line much more often than I had with my two ball. It looks a little funny at first but once you get used to it man the putts start to drop. Check it out if you have a chance, mine made the starting lineup the day I got it.

Not much of a review from GD, but they have it on this years 'Hot List'.

And to say it looks funny is probably the understatement of the week. Actually, all things considered it is probably the kindest thing. Lets just say this putter has a great personality.

I should have made myself clear I meant no Sand Trap review, there are plenty of other reviews out there. And yes it IS very funny looking. In fact my dad has had this putter for a few months but I wouldn't try it because of the looks. If you can get by the looks it really does work.

Don has this one. I think he has some thoughts. I'll send him this-a-ways...

Is that the putter with the PVC pipe on the end? I don't think i could ever use that because of the way it looks.

It looks like a PVC pipe but it really isn't.

I've putted around at the pro shop with the pipe putter, but couldn't get past its looks. There are quite a few putters that would do the same thing without the poor looks in my book.

If it works, more power to ya.

I've used the original Pipe putter (the full mallet) on the course, and I have the two newest blade models for review. I've only putted with them on carpet, so don't take this as a full-scale review.

I was actually surprised at how nice the new Pipe blades set up. The pipe-like protrusion makes the putter very T-like. The long part of the T makes the sole much longer than a typical blade-type putter, which helps the putter set up very square. The blade Pipes feel very solid on putts that are struck near the center of the face. If you hit one way out on the toe or heel, it doesn't feel good, since there's no mass out there at all. But, then again, if you hit your putts way out on the heel or toe you probably aren't good enough to care.

I'll hopefully be able to get out on the course a few times in the next couple weeks to get a full review up on the site. Check back around Super Bowl time!

I think a significant portion of putting is confidence. Some weird putters inspire confidence, some take it away. This may be one or the other for you.

This month's Golf Magazine has a review of it along with some other putters.

A fine putter. Better for alignment than my Odyssey 2 ball blade for putts over 10 feet. Good solid sound.
