Tinkered with them at a local golf shop. Hard to tell in there....there practice area makes every putt seem to find the hole.

Would love to try one on real greens.

I tried one out earlier today. It looks like crap, and it makes a sound not unlike that of a an unsecured 40-pound weight falling off a barbell when it makes contact with the ball, I still made puite a few putts on the practice green with it. Even so, I can't get over how awkward the whole package is.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

I've been using the IC 2020 since last July or so (the largest one that looks like a big branding iron). I demoed probably over 50 different putters over the course of several weeks before plunking down $180 on the 2020 (wanted to be very careful). The demo/practice greens in the stores might have been hole-friendly, but the putts off the 2020 for me seemed to drop more often.

It felt a bit weird at first because with the head flat on the ground my hands were behind the face and I could not get any distance. Once I learned to make a slight forward press and lead the face it's been very effective. It's definitely much easier to line up: the hype about the green color with contrasting alignment marks actually seems to work for me. I've been very happy with it.

That forward press is a move that I like as well. Could help to eliminate any scuffing of that huge head on the backswing.

I played around with some of the IC putters again today. Couldn't decide if I liked the big or the mid mallet the best.

They are garbage putters.. and way over priced.
If you like the Nike the OZ is a lot better and I believe sells for cheaper.

I wouldn't call them junk.

I have spent about 4 hours total putting looking for my new putter. The IC blade was one of the best for me, along with the Ping Karsten. I agree the IC is expensive, especially with the Ping Karsten line at $89

Karsten line is a solid value. Imagine being able to custom order your custom fitted wand for the low low price. Pretty sweet. PING does custom well.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
