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?

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.

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.

    • Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.
    • Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.
    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
