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.

thumbnail.aspx?q=1434515482118&id=153de1f6c74f4f0b7389cdd208b6cd81

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

What's in Paul's Bag:
- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Driver
- Big Bertha Alpha 815 3-wood
- Callaway Razr Fit 5-wood
- Callaway Big Bertha 4-5 Rescue Clubs
-- Mizuno Mx-25 six iron-gap wedge
- Mizuno Mp-T4 56degree SW
- Mizuno Mp-T11 60degree SW
- Putter- Ping Cadence Ketsch


I got a used Cleveland Classic Collection 2 putter from Edwin Watts for $60. I consider it a huge steal I absolutely love it. It came with a SuperStroke FATSO Grip which helps alot. I've averaged below 2 putts a hole since I've acquired my baby


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.

My Tools of Ignorance:

Driver: Ping I20 9.5*
Woods/Hybrids: Cobra AMP 3W and 3 HY

Irons: Cobra AMP 4-GW

Wedges: Callaway Forged Copper 56* and 60*

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

Ball: Bridgestone B330-RX and Srixon Z-Star

Bag: Nike Performance Carry


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

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

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 just got fitted into one of these by Ron Pritchett (Ashdon Golf) and I love it!  I wanted something a bit heavier than my Ping Pal.  I'll keep ya posted...

i use a clevelend classic 4 putter. i needed a new putter and it was on sale. i like it. i have fast greens on my local course during the spring until they seed them. i can ussually control the accuracy pretty good

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.

Scotty Cameron California Monterey. I've gone through a few putters in the past couple years and it's definitely my favorite. Great look and feel. I've been putting really well with it so far this year.

    • Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change. 
    • There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it. 
    • I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down. 
    • Day 4: 3/26/25 Par4Success workout followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 249: did a stack putting session and then worked on 5 foot putts for a bit.
