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.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      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.
