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)

      Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By saevel25 ·

      Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.

      It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.

      It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.

      Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
