Anyone use these putters or try them out? I've really been considering picking up the black series i with the insert in it but I fear the lack of long distance control with an insert. I heard that the insert was pretty firm since it's a tour insert but I want to know if I should just get the milled version. Currently I'm using a cheap milled putter but the feel of it is amazing. My problem with it is that the face is too narrow so when you hit the slightest bit off center, it wants to twist. I do love the feel of inserts but I'm afraid of that loss in speed control. Let me know your experiences and what you guys think. Thanks!

I've used a black series I #9. Overall it was a great putter, the insert was soft put I still felt like I was in control over speed distance though not so as much on the 20 foot+ putts. Having said that I ended up with the SC in my signature. I liked the shape and weight of the putter coming from a YES! Sophia, however I just didn't want to take the time to adjust tot he insert (I'm sure I could have) and went with a milled putter. Putters are such a personal thing though so I would still try it out.

i too play the black series #9. to date, its the best putter i've used because its easy to line up short putts. I'm also considering a SC Newport II as back up.

I have the first model of Black Series(metal insert) and I love it. The distance control with it is not an issue. And if you're hitting the ball pure it feels so sweet.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
