Which Putter should I buy?

[Dragasevich]

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 am assuming the 119usd means that its used but in reality its 119 new

just in case assume = ass out of you and me

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.

119usd = $119 (U.S. Dollars = usd)

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.

[tigerwho?]

Just try all the putters you can you will know when you pick it up if you want it. Take yur time.
