I'm looking at a couple Bettinardi putters right now. I have long been a Ping fan and my tiny collection of putters includes: Ping 1-A, Ping A-Blade, Ping Anser (in the bag) and an older Odyssey Rossie 1 and a Rossie 2.

It's hard finding Bettinardi putters right now, since the Mizuno partnership is ending and Rob is going back to making putters without a major label partnership. I say, good for him. Nonetheless, I have tested out the C-02, C-01, and C-04 in the MizuBetti line-up. The C-02 is very much like my Anser, I believe. And to be sure, I am putting fairly well with that Anser - for right now. I am tempted to get the C-01 but it's similar to my Anser but with a longer plumber neck. In other words, I'm not sure how differently or better I will put with it.

However, the putter I thought I wouldn't like is the C-04. It looked a tad strange at first, but I seem to have a good feel with it. I didn't try it, but I see they also make a 34" inch heavy model. The Anser I am using has been cut from 35 to 34" and I would just assume not cut a new, nice putter if possible.

Does anyone have experience or preference regarding the C-01 or C-03? I have a fairly straight, back-and-forth stroke and I tend to place my Anser on an ever-so-slight angle behind the ball - preferring not to hold if completely upright and flat to the ground.

I just got the C-01 and I am really happy with it. The setup is great. If your stroke is consistent, the roll is consistent. The sound/feel coming off the face is not as "buttery" as some others I have hit, however, the setup and confidence I have with the putter makes up for that. If you have more specific questions let me know.

FYI...I have seen some websites selling these for $100 brand new.

So what is the opinion on the Black Carbon series vs the regular Mizuno line? I am not looking to spend a ton of money which is why I'm looking at the Mizunos.

The C-01 is a great putter. I had it for a while but ended up selling it because the 35" wasn't heavy enough. Other than the weight, which is more of a personal preference, it was excellent. I wasnt crazy about the stock Bettinardi grip that came with it though, and replaced it with a longer Iomic. I tend to grip my putter like Tiger and choke up a bit, and found I was almost grabbing steel with the Bettinardi grip.

So what did you think about the longer plumber's neck (C-01 vs C-02)? My current Anser has a shorter neck.

Honestly I didn't mind it. If it weren't for the head weight I would have kept the putter. It just so happens that the heavier Studio Style and Byron Morgan 006 that I own have the shorter neck, but I would still play them if they had the longer neck. To me, it's a personal preference.

Thanks for all the input guys. I just placed an offer on a BC1. I will see if it it's accepted. If not, then I will probably go either C-01 or C-04.

I used the C01 it is a great blade.

Great feel, great distance.

However, I have never putted as well as I did after I switched to my Scotty Red X3 mallet.

The Black Carbons have a different face milling which is supposed to promote a truer roll.

Thanks. I got it brand new for $120 from a very reputable seller. Should be here by next week. Also picked up a set of used irons today. MacGregor PCB Tours, 3-PW for $45!! I'm starting to become an equipment junkie. lol

      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?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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?
