Anyone owns or tried the DART Putter?

The alignment feels better than my current two ball. But takes time to get used to the new alignment method.

Any comments?

when the 2-ball putter first came out, I thought it was a gimmick putter. kind of like how the square driver was a fade and now it is no more. anyway, when I tried the 2-ball putter out, I found it did help with alignment and did help with my putting path. so, looking at the dart being similar to the 2-ball, I can see how it would help with alignment. I'll have to go to roger dunn and try them out.

I've tried them out on two seperate occasions, and although I normally prefer a basic no-frills blade, I did find the alignment aid on the D.A.R.T. to actually be helpful.  The weight seemed to feel much better, and much more balanced than previous two-ball putters

I can see how it would make it easier to align you putts with the big alignment aid.  Im not sure that I could see such a big ole mallet of a putter in my bag though.

I personally think these look awesome. I tried one out at my local golf store definitely no hiding for that alignment aid I found it pretty easy to work with though. Not sure I would purchase it but I did like the club.

I use an older Ping Anser 2 that I have had for ever and love . Not usually a fan of the putters with the alignment aids but I tried

the DART a couple of weeks ago and it has me rethinking my putter . I spent about 45 minutes with it in the local Golftown and

was sinking putts like crazy . The balance and weight of it felt really good . I have tried a buddy's 2 ball before but it felt odd to me

this one just seemed to be really comfortable . I am going to see next time I go there how it feels then . Sometimes the

second time you try something it is not as good . I could see me buying one of these in the next year .

Anyone try the Backstryke D.A.R.T.? Do you like it as much as the heel shafted version? I've got a putter more suited for a slight arc stroke path. I'm using more of a rock the shoulders straight stroke path now. This putter or the 2-ball may be right up my alley! After I posted this I found a great YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YesmWeBtAHw This pro prefers the heel shafted D.A.R.T.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
