Seems like you would have to have the George Low Wizard 600 (and variants) on the list. I believe the Wizards made by Ram can be had quite inexpensively.

My apologies. I thought you speaking about the more 'low technology putters'. You were referring to the 8802, style. Don't forget the Scotty Cameron Napa Valley.

Ray Cook Classic Plus II
(picked up for $5 at Play it Again Sports!)

I have always liked this style of putter but prefer to play with the modern variation (Odyssey #9)

Thanks for all the replies.

Scotty Cameron Nappa

Haha, oops, don't know how I left that off the list.

I love my Macgregor Tourney IMG5. Got it for $4.

Can't beat $4. Is it a forged putter?

Wasn't that Jack Nicklaus' putter, the George Low?

My apologies. I thought you speaking about the more 'low technology putters'. You were referring to the 8802, style. Don't forget the Scotty Cameron Napa Valley.

I should've gotten that when it first came out. Now there are only a few on ebay. Such a beautiful putter.

Ray Cook Classic Plus II

Yeah, I have the Odyssey Black Series i#9, love the style. I just want an 8802 style blade to go along with it.

Sweet, are you going to refinish it yourself?

The Nicky really feels great. It looks more like the Calamity Jane. I've never tried the Sophia before.

I'm going to try it. I figure that since it was only a $15 investment to begin with, if I screw it up, I'm not out much.

Pretty sure, I think it is circa 1967ish. The Tommy Armour version is more sought after than the Tourney, but the Tourney is still pretty sweet.

Yes. I believe the Sportsman George Low Wizard 600 is what Nicklaus won many of his majors with.

I'm still researching finishes. I'm leaning towards bluing, but I'm not really sure.

See my signature:

About three months ago I took it up to a local golf store to get it regripped prior to putting it into my bag; upon talking to the guy in the "golf repair" section, he yelled out to a guy in the back, "Hey George, come look at this putter!" Then both guys told me what a beautiful putter it was. I've had it in my bag since mid-August.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
