G'day guys,
As you'll see in the 'introduce yourself' section im new, and new to golf also.

So im looking at purchasing a new putter
Been looking at the odyssey white hot XG probably #5.
What do the numbers mean first of all?

And also do you think this is a good putter?
I dont know how to judge if a putter is good or not.
I like a soft feel also, which is why i think this putter would be good for me, and ive heard quite a lot of good stuff about them.
I can get it for AUD$140 instead of about $200 retail, so i thought it was a good deal.
Also, i am 6'1 so i was wondering what size you thought would be best? or is it just personal preference?

What do you think?

Thankyou.

well the number on the putter is just which model it is. and picking a putter much like all of the clubs you or someone else will buy is based on personal preferance.For putters there are multiple selections of styles such as center shaft, heel shaft, plubers neck. as to what i think is a resonable putter is the Odessy White Hot 2-ball putter it is a great putter. the putter you mentioned is a very good selection.
Happy Hunting!

Putting is so personal that choosing a putter style (mallet or blade) is up to the individual. More important than the style is the fit. Weight, length, and lie are the most important factors for me. I like a shorter putter so that my arms can hang and I can swing, instead of stab. I also don't like a light putter.

I'm sure I just confused you. Make sure you get out and try different putters... especially different lengths.

Size is based on how much you crouch and bend over the ball. I'm 6'2" and had been using a 35 but I seem to be over the ball more and have switched to 33.

the only way to pick the right style of putter is to hit puts. If you have a "gate" stroke a heel shafted putter is better if straight through the a center shafted and so on. Try a bunch and don't worry if you don't like it later. You will want to buy a new one shortly any way.

Anyway check out the posts on Scotty Cameron, it's a sickness and it's contagious, get the bug

odyssey white hot xg series. I use the number nine and love it. Its phil's putter. Its only 119usd also. Its a small mallet. Just give any odyssey a whack and youll like it. I spent an hour hitting all the putters in the series and ended up liking the nine the most.

G'day guys,

Like everyone said, it's better if you actually go out to a store and try them. Find which one suits you the best in regards to feel, stroke type, stance, etc. But if you're confused which one to try, you should go to odyssey's website and check on the putter fitting option. From there you'll know which putters you would demo first. Good luck and happy hunting!

I just recently purchased the odyssey white hot marxman xg and am a huge fan. It has a great feel and good weight to keep the putter on a smooth stroke, plus it comes with a poker chip ball marker

However, the best bet is always to go and try them out yourself.

I've been using the Odyssey White steel 2 ball putter for 5 months and love it. I've dropped 10 puts a round since. With my handy cap, thats a huge help.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • WUTiger
      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
