I have a terrible habit of going on Ebay and bidding on clubs I definitely don't really need, but the excitement of buying a new club is just too much for me I guess. So yesterday I was looking at a couple different putters and ended up buying this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT .

I was trying out putters last week at golfsmith and tried the newer White Ice model and it felt great so I figured this one would probably be similar. I'm just wondering if I got a good deal or not, considering these clubs new are listed at like $275. I also saw there are two types, the regular black series and the black i series. Has anyone out there played with this putter before or know the difference between the two series? Seems the i series is a little more expensive for whatever reason and I looked on their website and noticed that this style was only listed on the i series section, making me believe I got a pretty good deal. Any insight on this putter would be appreciated.

You got a great deal there I'd say. I've actually been looking at that putter for a while and have been putting with it at Golf Galaxy for a while. I love it to death, but I don't think I can get it since I've had this putter for only about a year and my parents would go ape shit if I asked for this one....

I picked up the older #9 in my sig about 2 months ago and I am putting pretty good with it... maybe a little loss of perfection from 5 footers like I had with my mallet, but my distance control and touch is vastly superior.

Check out the Cleveland Classic #2. Same style, no insert, milled face for a softer feel. Can be had for a song and I have one. Hasn't made it to the course yet, but inside feels good off the face.

I think I was actually looking at that during the auction. I like the feel of the #9 (currently play the #1), and was thinking about a black series, but then stumbled across a couple of Bettinardi's. Quick call to a pro friend who told me the older ones (pre Hogan) are the ones to have, and won one. Now I have to get it past my wife and into the bag.

really nice flatstick you bought. i personally only like bladed putters but the sabertooth works well for me so i bought that one, it's all about playing with what you feel confident.
i have that same habit, i cannot stop looking at auctions for putters but the shipping price to europe makes it pointless to buy the putters on ebay instead of buying them from a pro shop here.

I have this problem too. I bid on all kinds of !@#$, sometimes not even golf related and in the back of my mind I pray for someone to out-bid me.

You're not alone. I've done that too - keep checking back - only 2 days left c'mon somebody else bid on this POS!!!

It's even worse bidding from Canada - I've payed $60 shipping for a 9 dollar club - ouch.

$20 to ship a putter? It only costs $9 to ship it Priority Mail (which is what he used). I hate it when some sellers try to make a profit on the shipping. A couple dollars doesnt bother me, but doubling the price???. That just irritates me. But you did get a good deal on it (if its not a counterfeit), so that makes up for the overpriced shipping fee's
