I was trying out some putter's last night at golf galaxy. I am thinking of making a switch, i was hoping the YES! putters would be good, but they were dissappointing to me. The one i really liked was the Odyssey Metal-X. My issue is, with the black putter head, the metal insert on the face shows up because of the loft on the putter. This is very strange, and i couldn't stand looking at the contrast. If they had the insert painted black, then i think it would be a much better putter to look at.

Oh a side note, i found a used Scotty Cameron there for $175, but the face was really worn down and the putter head was beat up a bit. Sad, i was thinking about buying it. A scotty cameron might be my next putter, i love the feel of it, just money.. Right now i will stick with my White Ice putter, i just love the feel and look of it.

I liked the one I tried out too. I think it was the 9 or 8, which ever one is the heal shafted blade. The black paint didn't bother me at all. In the past I haven't liked the inserts on Odyessy putters, but for some reason this one felt really good.

I tried a Metal-X last weekend and really liked it.  Ive never been a fan of the feel of Odyssey putters but I really like the Metal-X.

I tried the Metal X rossie today @ my local golf shop.
I stopped in searching for the perfect putter. First I tried the Ping Anser $250. Not a bad putter but too firm for my game. Next was a scotty cameron $350, just too pricey.

Next was the Metal X Rossie. It had a soft feel without being dull. Had a nice alingment aid and was only $149I was impressed with the feel, especially since I am not a fan of the insert putter. (I used to have a odyssey white steel, which I can not stand)

I will be heading back to purchase this putter.

I have a Metal-X 2 ball coming next week.  I can't wait for it.  I'll try to put up a review once I get a chance to play a bit with it.

Keep Calm and Chive On!

I was toying with putters at a Golfsmith & Golf Galaxy this past weekend. The one I kept going back to was the Odyssey Metal X 7. I have a feeling it will be in my bag in the next 2-3 weeks...it's been a painfully slow process. This is the first insert putter I've actually liked.

While at Golfsmith I also toyed with a Scotty Cameron California Fastback 35"...holy cow. The first ball I struck felt like nothing else. Of course it's $350...but so tempting.

I have an Odyssey Metal X-8 that replaced my old Callaway BJ-2. Absolutely love this putter. Worth all $150, unlike the $300+ ones with a name stamped on a Ping Anser lol.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
