Looking into a new putter

[bogeyhitter25]

I will never buy a putter that isn't Odyssey. If you want a mid-mallet check out the Mini Marxman putter, as well as the White Hot Tour Rossie and the White Hot XG #9.

Have a look at the PING Karsten series, theyre all works of art

I dont know about works of art...but they are very good putters..

I used a Karsten series anser 2 for about 5 months. Those putters are amoung the best values in golf, IMO.

Ok, so I stopped by a local shop just now. Demoed the scotties and they are all very firm, too much so for me. Though they only had the fastback, squareback, and blade newports. No Red Xs. I really liked the Ping Piper H and B60. Rifes just felt wrong for me. It's probably down to one of the pings or an odyssey.

But the Red X is a different putter altogther from the Studio Select line. You really need to try it if you're looking for a smaller mallet.

I too like the Odyssey putters...I haven't looked for putters lately, but i believe that Odyssey has heavier weighted putters, I think...Isn't it the Black series putters heavier? It's been awhile since i've checked out any putters.

And for a softer touch... the orginal red x with the insert would feel better than the new red x3 or x5.

Also, you should give the taylormade rossa line of putters a try. I like the fontana.

A friend of mine uses a redwood Piper, he swears by the thing and putts crazy with it.

Yep. I also tried the Fontana, but it didn't feel as good to me as the pings and odysseys.

Tried redwoods out too, felt a bit firm to me.

lol I spent a lot of time on the demo green this morning after class.
