I think these clubs are made by Hippo but they are known simply as JD 500. Thats John Daly. They were on sale at Big 5 sports this summer. I bought them so I wouldn't have to use my father-in-laws mis-matched set anymore.

New club on the way for Christmas:
Rossa Mezza Monza 35" Center Shaft putter. Tried out a bunch of clubs at Puetz Golf last night and low and behold my wife makes me buy the one I liked the most on ebay today. I can't have it until Christmas. How sad.

That is a bummer man. Makes it tough.

I have problems with those really big mallets. Mental block or something. I play a mallet, a smaller one, can't think of the name at the moment, but I think I'm going back to a blade. I'm just not sinking putts right now. Of course I know I need the practice, but I set up a mental block. Nasty thing, the mind, isnt' it?

Well I got my "precious" Mezza Monza Center Shaft putter for Christmas and after a little work on the carpet started hitting a quarter on the carpet at about 8 feet fairly regularly. Well, now I notice a tendancy for me to open the clubface on the backswing and the grip is too small... smaller than I'm used to. Anyway, I think my hopes were a little too high for this putter. Part of me is reluctant to take it out to the course and scuff it up.

I had gotten fairly accurate with an old Titleist sp-203 my father-in-law passed on to me. Anyway... I'll quit complaining now.

The small grip may suit you. For me, the way it goes is this: big grip encourages a wristless stroke, but a small grip produces more feel as I grip it more in the fingertips. I use a smallish grip now and have simply developed a stroke without wrist hinge, so I have "gained" feel.

Lots of the good putters putt with the "door on a hinge" stroke: open clubface going back, close it going through. Keeping the putter perfectly square all the way back and through requires some weird manipulation of your wrists, turning them in and out. Even Pelz's "square the entire time" stroke opens and closes slightly.

Thanks for the heads up on proper stroke and the info about grip size reletive to feel. That is good to know. We'll see how it turns out. I'm going to spend a lot more time on the carpet before I make a final decision. Price wise Odyssey's White Hot series looks good. They have some nice looking putters. I'd buy about ten right now if I could afford it. Money keeps me from Ho'in clubs too much.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
