Hello.

I was curious when they released the Laguna 2.5. I'm not exactly sure if it is availiable to the public yet, but thats not my concern.

I own a Pro Platinum Laguna 2.5 and I was curious what the difference(s) is between mine and the new Studio Stainless Laguna 2. Does the .5 stand for offset or something? Thanks for all posts!!!

Whats in my 14 Way Stand Bag?? Just...

The nomeclature used to SC putters can be a bit confusing/contradictory. The "x.5" designation is currently used to denote a putter than has a flow neck (looks like this one). Your Pro Platinum Laguna 2.5 is more similar to the Studio Select Laguna 2 that is currently being sold (has a plumber's neck). The plumber's neck has less toe hang than a flow neck.

The major differences between your Pro Plaitum and the new Studio Stainless are as follows:

- The Studio Stainless (SS) is made from Stainless Steel as opposed to the Pro Platinum (PP) that is made from Carbon Steel (has a softer feel) that is plated with the PP finish.
- The SS has interchangable weights on the sole that allows you many different weight/length combinations. The PP does not and only came in a 330g/35" combo.
- The SS has a "high toe" that supposedly makes the clubhead look "more square" at address as opposed to the PP that does not have a high toe. You'll have to look at a picture of the high toe because it's too hard to explain in words without further confusing you.
- The markins/paintfill will obviously also be different between the two.

Hopefully that helps you out a bit.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
