Did I say I really like the feel of inserts?

I guess I inferred it from the fact that you were bragging on the Nike's feel and compared it to an insert.

I like my Nike putter, and I play it because I got it for next to nothing, but I'd really like an Odyssey White Ice #1, based on trying them at Dick's the other day.

The club selection of a true hacker:

Driver: Nike Dymo2 SQ
3 and 5 Wood: Nike Dymo2 SQ
Irons: Adams Idea Tech OS Hybrid Irons (5-PW)
Wedges: Maxfli 56* and 60*
Putter: Odyssey White Ice #1 in Copper

Try a Rife Antigua before buying a putter. Best putter I have ever used. Read up on the "roll face technology" on the Rife website. These things are the real deal. Got a few Scottys, a Bettinardi, Ody, etc.. in the closet to prove it.

Bad News:
Went to buy the putter at Golfsmith because I have a gift card for there from trade-ins, and all they had where the ones that were out on the demo rack. I figued, if I'm gonna spend $250 on a putter, I want a brand new one with the factory plastic and everything on it. Propaby going to order it from there tomorrow or so, hopefully have it by the end of the week...
to danattherock, I tried some of the Rife putters at another golf store and they felt good, but I found the distance control somewht iffy. Found the Method more consistent as far as the distance goes, and the Method felt softer than the Rife.
I'll propably have the loft adjusted so that I can have some foward shaft lean, which I prefer and have always done, because if I lean the shaft foward, I find I hit the topline of the putter more than where my moneys going (the grooves).
Just saying....

That's your putting, not the putter.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Thanks
I looked all over, and I only found one online store thing with it for like 230.....I'd rather pay 20 bucks more to be sure I'm getting what I'm paying for and to get the Golfsmith Playability Guarantee (one of the main reasons I want to buy it fomr there)

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
