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.

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
