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 6 (6 Jun 26) - Spent time w/7i, hard foam balls and Divot Board….hit around 20 balls - focusing on impact zone and face position at impact based on club impact track.  Used the drill to control tempo as well.  
    • I can't get my playing partners to play anything but stroke play.  1 time we played foursome, foreball, and stroke play.  That was the last day.   They only want to play stroke play.
    • I think it is “what we grew up with” is what we gravitate to,
    • Most gloves are white, and most grips are black. Just take a look at the palm of your glove after a few rounds, and you will see why cleaning your grips on a regular basis is a good idea. Can even make your glove last longer. Not just dirt, but a lot of the rubber compounds in the grip shed the black colorant over time, and ends up embedded in your glove.
    • Foundation Session 4: I seemed to have a good (high swing speed) session today.  One thing was very different from prior and I am curious if that impacted it. All prior sessions were on grass.  Because of heavy rain last night I did not want to swing on my grass so I laid out my putting felt on my drive and stood on it for the session.  I had several “New Record Speed” with all weights. Q: Could being on a hard concrete surface instead of grass contributed to faster swings?
