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.

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.

its called illini golf, I cant remember which model it was though, it was marked down to 199.

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)
