I got the latest Golf Digest issue yesterday, it's the 'equipment issue'.  Among pics of the i20 irons (make me drool) was this little tidbit.  It's called the 'Nike Method Concept' putter.

Looks very different.  Not sure what to think, yet.  What do you guys think?

In my :nike:  bag on my :clicgear: cart ...

Driver: :ping: G10 9*    3-Wood: :cleveland: Launcher
Hybrid: :adams: 20* Hybrid      Irons: :ping: i5 4-GW - silver dot, +1/2"
Wedges: :cleveland: 56* (bent to 54*) and 60* CG10     Putter: :ping: Craz-e (original blue)


I saw the address pictures and I really do not like how it looks. I'm a big fan of their first method series and the method core series, but I really doubt this is going to move at retailers. Where the black bar curves isn't at the center where the sight line is and at address it more towards the toe. I think they're trying to promote turning the toe over on the follow through of the putt. To me, it was actually more a distraction than an actual aid.

Second only in abject ugliness to the Scotty Cameron Futura.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

 

 


My eyes can generally take ugliness, but add in the asymmetry and I don't think I could stand looking down at the thing. I don't even want to think about trying to make an on-plane swing with that thing.

At least the Futura was symmetrical and aligns toward your target. The Nike Concept just messes with your sight line.

Saw this in the equipment issue as well - yikes!! Don't see how you could stand looking at this putter. Just when you thought you'd seen it all......someone goes and does this.

have to say i tried it at local golf store yesterday, it is just fantastic, really not looking to buy a new putter to add to the 7 in the basement but it really rolled the ball better than any I have tried, I even went fact to the putting area three times tried outher putters but when I picked up the Nike it was like night and day, even the belly was great, Im now scouting  EBay to see if I can get a deal


I want to try this one IRL (my xbox guy is using it now, haha)

I've been somewhat intrigued by the whole Method series after Tiger stared using them, I mean if he likes them there has to be something to them

I kinda like the looks of this putter, I've used some pretty funky looking putters in the past though. But what really gets me is how great this feels putting. A friend of mine has one and I borrowed it for a round, I love this putter...one of the best I've used.

Bought one for $69.00 new lefty 35 " and love the feel which has aided me in getting the ball closer to the hole. Now the looks have taken some time but after a while, you simply forget the black bar and putts really stay on line.

    • Yes, thats still your NPCR.  Your stance might be OB, which is legal, it might be down the cliff, or in water in a Penalty Area, those factors don't disqualify that from being the NPCR. However, once you make that drop, you have a new situation, one for which a left-hand stroke might be reasonable.  As you describe it, if you went further left of the path the ball might be OB if you got your feet off the path in taking a left-handed swing.  If all that is true, your NPCR for a left-hand swing could be on the right side of the path.  Its important to consider a probable sequence of relief situations before you decide to lift the ball to take relief the first time.
    • This is one of the handiest rules of thumb to remember. If relief is free, it's one club length. If it's with penalty, it's two club lengths (or on the line away from the flag when that's allowed). On the OB question, suppose your ball is on the cart path and your reasonable swing setup is right handed and you "have" to take relief (says it's a mini cobblestone path and the ball is sitting down and you're guaranteed to blade it and not really know where it's going, and probably damage your club). Your NPR is left of the path, as it almost always is for a righty. But while the ball can be in bounds, your feet will be across the OB line between the hole and the houses lining the fairway. Is that still an NPR? Are you allowed to take a right handed swing with your feet OB? What if the OB is a cliff or other landscape feature that means you can't stand there? Does a point on the left hand side of the path still count as NPR?
    • The OP says "under a prickly ugly bush" Not being there and in the absence of a clear photo of the situation, I am not entirely convinced about the reasonableness of the claim. However, DavePo43 is of course correct in all other aspects.  
    • Day 27: 1/6/2025 Lots of mirror work again today. Went over photos and videos from my last lesson. Trying to get the movements in my priority piece just right.  I'm likely going to be doing more mirror work tomorrow too. Which is fine considering the weather. 
    • Day 173: Did a stack session. Worked a bit during breaks on backswing stuff.
