But what logic can you expect from OEMs who sell oversized, perimeter weighted, feel enhanced (fudged), "players irons" and 460 CC high MOI adjustable "players drivers".

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

Odyssey White Hot Tour #9. After feeling the #9 White Ice in store, I wanted one badly but couldn't stand how the White Ice would rotate a couple degrees open naturally and I didn't care for the White Hot's super soft insert. So I got a White Hot Tour off eBay. Feel of the White Ice with a slightly firmer than mid-soft insert. Love it.

I'm different from most people because I rarely change/replace putters.  I've only used 2 putters over the past 15years!!!!!

I played a rather classic style Ping Zing2 putter from 1996-2008

Then came a HUGE departure from traditional......I've been playing a Spider since mid-2008.

I absolutely love the Spider and it may stay in my bag for another 10yrs......who knows?

I just picked up a Cleveland putter as well, a like-new Classic #4 off eBay for $29.99.  I demo'd one the last couple rounds I played and really like it, so I found me one at a really good price.  Can't wait for the greens and fairways to melt off so I can get back out and try it.  At that price, I couldn't resist.

I collect Scotty Camerons. Since I switch putters every round, I simply purchase the 1.5 peripheral weighted (modern blade) version of each series when it comes out so that I have a somewhat similar appearance and feel with each one. The later series are slightly heavier, so I'll use those on the fast greens and the lighter ones for slow greens.

Putters: Scotty Cameron  35" (Several of the flow neck blade variety)

Ball: Bridgestone B330-RX and Srixon Z-Star

Wilson Staff 8882 ( currently the only user of a Wilson putter based on the poll )

Have only putted on practice greens in store and on my carpet but love it. I previously used a Nike Ignite blade - I have a bad habit of leaving putts short...like inches.

The 8882 is A LOT heavier across the entire face. I may not always hit my lines, but hopefully won't always be short. it also comes with a slightly thicker grip which I prefer on all my clubs and the thing truly looks amazing. Plus I got it for $50 at golftown - a steal

Ping Anser 4 - 34".  I've had it since somewhere around 1995 or so.  I like its simple look and feel.

I found an old Ray Cook Blue Goose putter at a thrift store last summer. Just felt right in my hands. Used a Anser 3 before that for a few years with the classic Ping slick grip, but it felt too light and the grip didn't really fit well in my hands.

I use a vintage 35" Ping Anser 3 with a midsize Winn grip that I snagged at a yard sale a few summers ago. I have several other vintage putters in my closet, but this one is tough to beat.

Scotty Cameron California Del Mar... Love the finish, love the feel. The fact the shaft meets the head right at the heel of the putter is the reason i bought it to be honest.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
