I go between my two putters based on the speed of the greens. I'll use the heavier Red X2 on slower greens (or if it's cold or raining) and the lighter Coronado Mid Slant on faster greens. Occasionally I'll make a switch just for something different...the Coronado has been more comfortable for me though so that's typically my gamer.

Day in day out I have used my Wilson Geo Lowe original 600 for 30 years.

I have a couple of Pings-some iterations of the Anser and Pal, and a Bridgestone mallet. I like the Pings and will sometimes get them out and use them. The both have lines and are helpful if I am having alignment problems or playing on unfamiliar greens. One course I play sometimes has very slow greens and I have tried the mallet as a remedy with some success.

The old Wilson is not an expensive putter. It is basically a facsimile of the putter Nicklaus used for years. It was made around 1980 and has George Lowe's sig stamped on it. Their advertising at the time said " designed under the personal supervision of George Lowe.." but they probably just paid him a few bucks for the use of his name. It does have great feel though, and when I am putting well (for me) it is all I want.

Because I have a problem !!!!
Actually, I have always had a thing for putters. It's funny because I'm pretty steady about the rest of my equipment. I might play with shafts a little in my hybrids this year.
I also like having extras around so when one misbehaves, it can go to the corner for a few months, and I always have another with at least some fond memories and some familiarity to replace it.

I have multiple putters (8) mainly due to the fact that being a new golfer I wanted to experiment with different putter types. So I bought over a dozen used putters from ebay just to try them all out. Since my stroke was SBST I settled on an older face-balanced, mallet-style putter that's not too heavy (listed in my sig). But I also try a more toe-balanced putter once in a while, since I'm curious to try out the Utley-style stroke in the future, after having read his book on the Art of Putting.

Sometime this year I'll pick up a used Cameron, hopefully one a proper length, and experiment further with the Utley approach.

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

      Day 9 (17 Mar 26) - Worked with alignment today to work on getting properly lined up with target point using alignment rods.  Worked on getting takeaway parallel to alignment line.  Solid session.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
