Alright so I'm goin to buy a new putter. I have a mallet but want to try out a blade. I went in thinking the oddyssey white hot xg #9 was going to be the one, but the guy at the shop recommended the Rossa Daytona. It felt good and the insert was nice and soft. I would like to hear feedback because I really dont know too much about this putter. Thanks in advance! Oh, if you have another recommendation in mind around the $120 range, feel free to let me know as well.

The TaylorMade insert is one of the best, if not the best, insert out there. It gets the ball rolling real quick and true. It doesn't push it on the ground like most and then start rolling.

I considered the Taylor made suzuka but chose the odyssey white hot no9. I liked the taylormade but the odyssey just felt a little better for me. The TM putters are priced very competitively.

I have the 08 Rossa Daytona with the AGSI system which I like very much. I found in my case, putting accuracy is a little more sharp than with my other putter (Odyssey) however, distance control did take some time to adjust to. The AGSI system is suppose to impart a more true roll with less skid, which in turn suppose to produce better accuracy. I believe this system actually works, but controlling the distance for me was a bit of a challenge at first. By this I found that I had the tendency to run putts well past my intended distance with more frequency, but with time I did adjust and do believe that I am making better putts.
I understand that the 09 model does incorporate a softer insert which suggests that the feedback on the 08's were probably consistent with the experience I had. Take one out for a practice round if you're able to, or at least make lots of putts with it before deciding on the most important club in your bag. I hope this helps, and good luck!

I prefer the blade putter and have just recently switched to the Nike ic 2010. It has great feel to it and the ugly color scheme has a purpose. The dark green disappears into the grass while the two white lines are highlighted. I am legally blind and find this putter is an amazing improvement over my old Ping A Blade.

Oh, I hate the grip and got it regriped to a larger one.

I think it is definitely worth a good test drive.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
