I've been using a Daiwa putter for the past three years since I started playing. Now that I'm getting serious about golf, I'm taking a couple lessons and updating my very old clubs. Has anyone used this putter and tell me if it's worth it to update and get something a little newer like an odyssey.

I'm still pretty new to the game so i don't know too much about how to go about purchasing/finding the right putter. In fact, I've never even tried another putter besides the Daiwa and the most I've been told about choosing a right putter is that it has to feel right in your hands and when you stroke the ball with it. I'm fine with this Dawia pro balance putter, but I'm not super confident when I get up to putt that eight to ten footer and I don't necessarily like how it feels on impact compared to some fo the softer faced putter I've tried a bit in pro shops and the like.

Anyone have any experience on this putter and advice on hwo to go about choosing the right putter for you?

Thanks

I have two Daiwa putters; I have the pro balance 6511 and a DG-250. I like them both, but you are correct about the pro balance it does have a clicky sound to it, this might change slightly depending on what ball you use. All in all Daiwa makes a good quality putter it is not as popular as Titleist or Odissey but it is a Japanaese company that has awesome quality. I will also say that it doesn’t hurt to have a couple of putters, sometimes you lose confidence with one and using a new one helps with that. Also will say that practice is the best thing to do to boost confidence specially with putting.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
