Doesn't cost too much to throw a new grip on it, and it'll feel basically new. If you hit well with it, who cares if it's 50 years or 50 minutes old.

I agree, if you putt we'll with it I'd just have it regripped. When I just got into golf and played a few times a year my grandfather gave me a putter. Since then I've spent some money on clubs, and easily could afford to toss a new putter in the bag, but this one works for me, so why fix it if it ain't broke?

In the bag:
Driver: r7 quad v2 stiff
3-Wood: XLS
Hybrid: X
Irons: CG Golds 3-GWSW: x forged 56/13LW: Vokey sm 60/.08Putter: Callie 35''Ball: pro v1

The putter is the worst thing you can mess with. I lost my favorite putter a couple years ago (I think it was stolen actually) and I have never found a putter to replace the feel. I've tried blades, mallets, old-school blades, weighted ones... It's just not the same.

At least in my case, the putter is a very tricky club to get right.

Driver: r7 10.5*
3W: Black Ti
Irons: CG Gold
Wedges: 54*, Acuity 60*
Putter: Copperhead bladeBall: NXT-Tour

I'm using an old & basic blade putter that I picked up with my first starter set six years ago. I'm quite used to it but am thinking about upgrading to a new one with some new technology that can help me sink more pars and even birdies. I'm looking at putters with rolled faces to get the ball rolling sooner, larger sweet spots to help me with any of my off center strokes, and alignment aids to help me aim better.

Since putting is a big part of our final scores, you may want to look into upgrading to a new flat stick as well.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
