Anyone play these putters? Are they worth a "blind" buy?

Based on the my search last summer, where I demoed every putter available to me, this putter would have no place in my bag. I do like their sales pitch though: "Into The Woods Tiger, we are more prone to be inquisitive. To promote discussion. And these golf clubs. We want to find out what your thinking was when you took your deceased father’s voice out of context in a transparent ploy to restore your lucrative nice-guy image. We want to find out what your feelings are about this selection of milled-face, high-MOI Nike IC Putters (somehow, we assume you’d advise people to buy them). And did you learn anything? We’d say you’ve learned a thing or two about marketing, anyway. That strained look of remorse on your face? Bravo from the gallery! That was at least a double-eagle. So what if some say it’s manipulative? Who cares about the ethical issues of using quotes from someone who can’t object, for a purpose that would make him roll over in his grave? As long as it helps sell more IC Putters, what’s the harm? Golfers will enjoy the benefits of enhanced accuracy and a strategically specialized Winn putter grip. Then there’s the fact that the whole putter is green except for the white face, making it easier for the player’s eyes to focus on the point of contact. With a putter this great, it’d almost be selfish not to try to sell more of them. And Nike and Woot will rake in a few extra bucks. You’ll seem like a guy who’s grappling honestly and sympathetically with his inner demons, on the road back into the public’s heart. Everybody wins. Especially you, once the endorsement spigot opens back up and the dollars start flowing again. Hey, who knows? This masterful performance might even launch your acting career. Of course, you could always just concentrate on playing golf. We seem to remember you’re pretty good at that. Honestly. Warranty: 2 Year Nike"

Hah, yeah. woot always has some funny stuff in their product descriptions.

I am really close to pulling the trigger on the 20-20. It has to be better than the putter I am currently using that came with a set of clubs I bought at Wal-mart like 8 years ago. And at $40 if I don't like it I could probably recoup most of my money selling it second hand.

I haven't bought from woot in a while, but they put up golf stuff now and then, and I'm tempted. I'm not a big fan of mallet putters, and I have no idea how I would be able to swing one if I want to maintain trying to do the Utley putting method. But... if they had a blade putter listed at that cost, I'd buy it for sure.

I had the Nike IC 20-15. It was a good putter but the green paint chips off really easily.
