So, in my quest to find a new putter I spent a few hours around various golf shops trying out putters and narrowed down the putter I wanted to a few criteria:

- New

- Left handed

- "#9 style" heel shafted flanged blade / toe drop mid-mallet (whatever you call it)

- no insert, milled face

- Under $80

Following those criteria this was next to impossible to find. However, with the help of a fellow member here, I found one on DiamondTourGolf for a whopping $17. The only catch was it only came with a stock 35" shaft (exactly what I need), and no grip (I planned on re-gripping it anyway). So, I figured what the heck, go for it. If it's crap I lost $17 and I can continue my quest, but if its good I just scored myself a $17 putter.

So, it came in today (6 business days I believe). I must say I am very pleased with how it looks. I was worried about the quality of the satin silver/grey finish, and the quality of the milled face. This sucker looks pretty darn close to all of the name brand versions of this putter style. Maybe the only difference I can tell is the finish is slightly less glossy when compared to the White Hot XG #9, which really doesn't bother me and may even help with glare in the bright Florida sun. Anyway, I'm off to a local shop to have this thing assembled with a grip.

Heres a few pics with my crappy photography skills. Tried to get a good shot of the milled face but it was tough. I think the pictures don't really do it justice.

Face - though to get a decent shot of the milled face. The quality is comparable to all other milled face designs out there

Sole - Higher gloss than the rest of the putter. The circular reflections are a product of my crappy camera.

Anxious to get this thing out on the putting green.

Great find. Something similar happened to me. I was looking for a new putter and went to golf smith to check a couple out. After a while of putting with a couple different putters, I found the one I wanted. It is a ping i craz-e. I looked at the sticker price and it said 19.99 ( I think someone labled it wrong and forgot a 1 at the beginning). The best $20 I ever spent.

      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.
