For that price, I'd say Odyssey if you like a soft insert, TM Rossa Core Classics if you like something in the middle, or the CG classics if you like a firmer putter. To be honest I really like the $25 maxflis they have at golf galaxy.

When you find it, you know it. Doesn't matter if it cost ten dollars or ten day's pay. I found a diamond in the rough for $70-80. People have made me offers, and one guy tried to trade me his $300 cameron. It's just an odyssey dfx 5500 blade. It's got a more rounded sole, most of the model are more square. This was after weeks of looking, tried prolly 100 putters, all price ranges. The very first time I struck it, I knew. Like butter. If you don't get that feeling, don't buy. The putter is the most personal club in your bag; you don't buy it, you marry it.

Hey, I am currently looking to invest in a new putter. I am looking to spend upto $175. Putting is the part of my game i need the most work on and I feel that I need to get a solid putter to start getting a solid stroke on the ball. I was wondering if some of you experienced players could throw some advice and suggestions my way on brand, model, and types of putters I should consider. Also, I am 6'1" would a 33",34", or 35" best suit me?

Go to Golfsmith (or wherever) and try blades, mallets, long, short, etc. until you find one that feels just right -- then buy that one. That's what I did with my first favorite putter (a Yes Tracy that I lucked into by sheer accident while I was waiting for a friend who was hemming and hawing over which new irons to buy). If they start dropping on the goofy green carpet from 25 feet away consistently then you have met your new best friend.

i suggest that you try the taylormade monza spider putter it has a huge head on it but has the smoothest stroke i have seen. if you dont like your putter that big there is a smaller model. (the itsy-bitsy spider)

well, i cant say enough good things about my SeeMore FGP (MSRP $185 NEW). Although the design is not for everyone. some like it, some hate it. Ive sunk more 20-30 footers during the past 7 months Ive had it than i had in a couple of years prior to getting it. i like trying out new clubs but Im almost certain this one will stay in my bag for YEARS to come

I picked up a SeeMore FGP for the first time a little while ago, and I am totally on board! I always thought they were kind of weird looking, but that putter just felt perfect when I picked it up. I never understood why the majority of people prefer offset putters. The zero offset of the FGP looks perfect to my eye.

same here. and just like you i was using the Odyssey XG9 before i started using the FGP. i dont know what it is about the FGP but my putting has been on fire ever since i picked it up a few months ago. im pretty sure the FGP will stay in my bag for years

I browsed FGP's on eBay for fun, and now I am the proud owner of a 34" FGP Black!

It was the exact model, lie, and length I wanted from reputable seller with headcover for $65 including shipping! In the pictures it looked like it had been used about two times. I couldn't believe the deal, and I hope it is in as great of shape as advertised when it gets here. Woohoo!

that is a good deal. i hope you like it. personally, i didnt care for the FGP Black, so I ended up selling it (sold it for $85) and i bought the new FGP Stainless instead. completely different feel to it which i preferred. its all personal preference though. Zach Johnson uses the FGP Black so just cuz I didnt care for it that dont mean squat, lol

Yeah, the aluminum bronze is definitely a unique feel. It's the one I tried in the store, and I liked it, although I didn't do an in-depth comparison or anything. It sort of adds to the quirky appeal that the putter has, in my opinion. Anyway, for $65, I figured I'd pull the trigger.

for sure. plus if its in really good condition and you dont like the feel of it, im sure you could sell it for more than you paid for it. if you dont like the way it feels, try the new stainless model or one of milled version. i even preferred the stainless feel over the milled version too. but thats just my opinion

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think Burns handled it well in the post round interview. Also, it is crazy how many PGA tour players don't even know some basic rules. I think they rely on rules officials too much in giving them a personal excuse to not even know the rules of their own sport.  It sucks, you see water splash when you strike the turf, but that does not define what temp water is.  It was annoying how much the announcers brought it up.

      And when they provide an actual expert in the Rules to be consulted during the broadcast.  Katherine was in the booth during the rain delay, I'm sure she didn't go too far once play resumed.

      It's gotta piss off the USGA when their own broadcast partner throws them under the bus without actually knowing the Rule.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Hard on the heels of Sam Burns' Temporary Water ruling at Oakmont, I just got done with two days of junior golf at my home club.  We had heavy rain Sunday night, and the 7th fairway was very wet, with standing water in some areas.  My assignment both says was to stay there and assist the players in dealing with the water issues.  So I had dozens and dozens of rulings about the existence of Temporary Water interference, and in determining the Nearest Point of Complete Relief for each one.  In the interest of pace of play, I usually got to each ball before the player did, to make an initial assessment, and to begin the search for the NPCR.  I also explained to each player that they must first drop the ball, and then could take Lift Clean and Replace relief.  In some cases, the player decided to simply take LCP, and play the shot even though there was a little water around their feet.  A couple of long days, but lots of "thank you" from both players and parents.   For those who care to look a little deeper, you can look to Rule 16.1 for relief from Temporary Water, the definitions of Temporary Water and Nearest Point of Complete Relief, and Model Local Rule E-3 for the correct wording of lift clean and place relief.  I'd suggest some of the NBC golf announcers look at that Temporary Water definition themselves before condemning the ruling that Burns got.

      Callaway Apex Uw Budget Shaft Options (Aldila Nv Green 85x / Proforce V2 8x)

      By TigerDeChamb · Posted

      Hi Club Fitting Experts, I recently picked up a Callaway Apex UW 21° and need a more budget-friendly shaft. As a scratch golfer with a fairly high swing speed (~118mph driver SS), I’m looking in the 85-105g range. The Apex UW’s .335 hosel requires a wood shaft, which raises costs compared to hybrid shafts. For reference, I play a Fujikura Ventus Black Velcore 6X in my driver (tipped 1.5") and love its feel, but $500 for a hybrid shaft isn’t justifiable. I’m considering the Aldila NV Green 85X and Proforce V2 8X. Here are the specs for comparison: Proforce V2 8X Weight: 86g Torque: 1.8 Launch: Low/Mid Kick pt: ??? Aldila NV Green 85X Weight: 89g Torque 2.8 Launch: Low Kick Pt: Mid/high Fujikura Ventus Black 9x (For Comparison only) Weight: 93g Torque 2.8 Launch: Low Bend pt: High Based on these specs, the Aldila NV Green seems closer to the Ventus Black 9X. However, I’ve heard good things about the Proforce V2 as well. Has anyone tested these and can confirm which is more similar to the Ventus Black 9X profile? Thanks in advance for your help!
