Tad Moore Pro 1P. I've been playing Tad Moore putters on and off (mostly on) since high school. A TM2 was in my bag throughout all 4 years of college golf and now enjoys the lofty status of sitting in my office to putt around with whenever conference calls get boring.
In the Bag:
TaylorMade R11TP Driver
TaylorMade R11TP 3 wood (15.5)
Mizuno MP 63 3-PW

I use a Cleveland Classic #1. I had been using an Odyssey for several years, but once I tried the Cleve I was hooked. Excellent putter.

I didn't know scotty's were so popular.
I guess a lot of people are willing to spend the big bucks on a putter.

I knew Yes! putters were pretty rare but I thought more than 4 people on this forum would use them.

They're as popular as AP2s - they're popular with very good players, posers and internets posters. Out on the course I see a lot more guys bagging Odysseys, TaylorMades, Clevelands, and Wilson Staffs. Actually that might not be true - I don't see a lot of SC headcovers but I think people have them tucked away during the round.

Yesterday I picked up an old Dunlop milled face putter for $2.99 (at Value Village). I'll check it out this afternoon.

I am currently using the SC Kombi S. Best putter I have ever used IMO. I find the face is much more forgiving than most of his blade putters.

That's because they're a very good set! Those who don't have the skills to game them want to at least look like the do, hence all the posers with them.

Anyways, I see a lot of juniors at my club gaming Scottys. For some reason they seem to be a must. To me there's nothing that really sets them apart and this is coming from a guy who has 12 Titleist clubs out of 14 (13 if it wasn't for the fact that the parents don't want to cash out 100 $ for a matching 3-iron). Going back to the topic, I game an Odyssey Sabertooth. I hate the look of it but my dad suggested I buy this one cuz he thought it would be the best for my game and doesn't want to buy me a new putter now. I've gotten used to it to the point where I can putt decently with it and am now quite comfortable with its feel and weight. Once again, I just HATE the look of it, at least in comparison to that of a classic blade.

I recently switched from an old Wilson mallet to an Odyssey White Hot XG blade. I'm actually not so crazy about inserts, but I was trading a club in through the Callaway preowned site and really wanted to get a short-shafted blade putter. This one fit the bill, and the feel off the face is growing on me. I find the short shaft helps me with my aim and the lighter head helps with my distance control. It took a lot of practice and a couple rounds before I started to find my touch, but I have definitely started leaving much shorter second putts than I used to.

If I could have picked up any putter, it'd probably have been a Ping Karsten Anser or Anser 2, but the price was right on this one and it's definitely been a good change.

In the bag:

I agree 100% with that.

Rife 460 mid blade...best feeling putter I've ever used. Not a fan of mallets and not a fan of spending 300 dollars on a putter, either. :)

Just got a Odyssey Black series i #1 and since I had a cheap dunlop before I am loving the change. I know the Black series i are a couple years old but for $120 (new) rather than $270 I'll take it. If there was a better selection from where I live who knows maybe I would have went a different route but since Odyssey is everywhere it made my choice a bit easier though I would love to try a scotty cameron or a bettinardi.

Meaning different feel. Plus the one on the bottom has a good resale value, so when people start talking about price it really is irrelevant.

Currently using Cameron Kombi S, I decided I needed a mallet style putter for a while. The 007X Morgan is not far away though.

    • You are not wrong. The shaft and the head together both contribute to the performance of the club. I'd also suggest that they contribute in different amounts depending upon whether we are comparing a driver, an iron or a wedge. (We could argue all day about how much is the head and how much is the shaft... and I would enjoy the argument.) Having said that, in order for a youtuber or anyone else for that matter to completely optimize the club and then hit it in comparison to another completely optimized club is all but impossible. Just one of the many reasons why all club tests should be taken with a generous pinch of salt.  Not only that but even in robot testing there are variables that are outside the areas of control. I've personally been lucky enough to witness robot testing first had. It's fascinating how non-repeatable the results can be. Let me elaborate. With an 7 or 8 iron the robot can land balls over and over again in an area the size of a kiddie pool. However, when the testers moved away from a 7 or 8 iron, the results got less and less precise. Interestingly it didn't matter if they went up or down the bag. With the robot hitting short pitches and even chips, relatively, more variation than full short iron shots. Similarly, long drives with the robot created more variation as well. This is without the effects of wind, variations in the surface and texture of where the ball lands etc...  In addition, this doesn't take into account possible bias, either consciously or unconsciously of the tester. The testers I got to witness (these happened to by Taylormade guys, but I'm sure it doesn't matter), confessed that they could influence the results if they wanted to. They could take two clubs and make either of them "win" with robot testing if they wanted to. They made to the point to illustrate that in their job they had to constantly make sure they were fighting bias and/or putting in double checks, but never-the-less when I now read about any testing saying X club is 7 yards longer, I think back to their statement.  So, if it's that difficult to get really good results out of a robot imagine how difficult it is to get quantifiable results out of a human swinging a club.  Here's a fun test to try. Hit your driver 10 times on a launch monitor and gather the data (You can do 20 or 30 swings it doesn't matter). Now group the data into 2 sets, the odd numbered swings and the even numbered swings. Look at your two data sets. I guarantee that one data set will look "better" than the other. Even though, it's the same person swinging the same club on the same day. But if you just happened to be testing a driver against your driver on that day, Even if you gather your data by switching back and forth between the two drivers you may get misleading results. I've done this test a few times in my life and it's interesting to see how the "odd numbered me" or the "even numbered me" always produces different results, sometimes one will win by a large margin.  In summary, I too enjoy watching reviews of the new clubs that come out, especially drivers. But it is information not data.

    • Something I’ve been thinking about. I watch a lot of club tests, retired and get up way too early, and there’s something I think in my opinion might be being done wrong. They might pick several drivers, could be something different, and use the same shaft so things will be equal. In my mind a shaft might be good in one club and not in another. Learned the hard way, had my best ever driver at the time, G410, and kept hearing about how great the G425 MAX was. Since I sometimes have trouble finding senior shafts we traded heads and the 410 shaft never seemed to work out in the 425 head for me. Wasn’t as straight or as long so I have moved on. Don’t think everyone was wrong about the G425, just think that combination maybe didn’t work for me.
