Nike IC putters....anyone using them?

[Dub]

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.

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.

You can get unitized for pretty cheap out there too if you're looking nike. I got mine on clearance for $50CAD brand new at golftown and love the feel of it.

I guess I asked the question because I see them in all the stores but have yet to run accross anyone putting with them on a course.

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.
