It looks like it could be a transformer!

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

Here's more info - http://thesandtrap.com/columns/bag_d..._method_putter The limited release is going to be distributed based off of the retailer's sales, so basically, Nike's bigger accounts will get more of the limted releases than the smaller accounts. If I were you, I'd hit up my local shop. They should be able to get you one, even if they werent initially slated to get any. The limited release models will be made at The Oven in Fort Worth. Good luck with it!!

I don't like it. Too busy. Plus, I can't take Nike Golf for serious, sorry, but I just can't help it.

You're totally entitled to your opinion, and I'm not going to try and change your mind or anything, I'm just curious as to why?

That's kind of a ridiculous statement to make. Especially considering 2 major winners played all Nike equipment this year.

Here's more info -

So if I go into golfsmith or golf galaxy and pre order it there then ill be able to get one? That just sounds too easy.

I know it sounds kinda crazy, but think about it like this - I'd say that the percentage of golfers that even know about this putter is much smaller than you might think. Out of the people that do know about it, a much smaller percentage will even consider using a Nike putter for one reason or another. Out of the people that do know about it and would want one, even fewer will shell out $250, because the line of thinking is that for another $50, they can buy a Scotty.

The other reason I say that you should be able to get one without much of a problem is because this past Friday, I was in my local shop getting fitted and ordering my new irons, and I asked about it out of curiousity. The store manager, who was the one doing the fitting, told me they wouldnt be getting any of the limited editions, but if I wanted one, he could get it for me. They just hadnt planned on even requesting any. If you go into your local Golfsmith or GG, and they wont/cant get it for you, check with one of the smaller shops near you. They might be easier to work with. Make sense?

I know it is, and I never said there were any justification to my opinion. It's just a gut feeling. I just can't get over the Swoosh on the clubs.

But I still don't like the look of this method putter. Too busy. And who is going to pay $300 for a Nike Putter anyway?? Why not just get a Scotty or a Bettinardi or even a Redwood PING. I think it'll flop.

I tried a scotty out the other day and I could feel, see, and hear the ball hopping into the air and skidding along the green. For my stroke I think the

4* of loft was just too much (I have a YES! which has the grooves to get it rolling but I dont really like it). This putter would be absolutely perfect for me if it does what it says. It has less loft(2*) but is able to get the ball rolling because of the unique groove system however it also claims to have soft feel. The YES! is similar without soft feel but mine doesn't have the plumbers neck(or whatever its called) which I would get the nike with. It just seems like it should be a perfect fit.

How is it any more busy than this?




Dont get me wrong, I want a Red X bad, I'm not dogging it, I'm saying that it's funny how, because it has a swoosh on it, it's labeled "busy", but it's ok when it's Titleist/Scotty Cameron. As I said before, I'm not going to try and change your mind, everyone is free to game what they want, it's the double standard that's very annoying. That, and the fact that if there's a thread on anything Nike, some feel compelled to hate on it, regardless of anything else.

Ya know what? It's all good. Like Katt Williams says, people are gonna hate, regardless. Can't change that.

True, Nike is for sure legit. Even tiger, the best player in the world, plays all Nike except for his scotty putter. I think nike's putters are great though.

Probably a perfectly fine putter...but it is hideous.

Sez the Mizuno fanboy. Go figure.

The putters will do fine. YES putters and the Rossa putters with grooves do fine, and so will these.

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
