I am looking to replace my Nike Ignite 001 and I've taken a look at the Scotty Cameron Select Newport line and some of the Odyssey putters as well. I am more of a blade guy but any and all suggestions are welcome. As a bonus, this is a birthday gift and budget will not be much of a concern.

Also considering switching to a Super Stroke grip, most likely the 3.0, anyone have experience with this switch?

I can only comment on the grip. I have a Taylormade putter, and switched to the Superstroke 3.0. For me, it gives me much more control, i.e. the stock grip being on the small side, had a tendency to move in my hands unless I gripped it tighter than I like to. The 3.0 being thicker, lest me grip with a softer pressure, yet I have good control on my putts. Not the cheapest grip @30.00, but well worth it to me.

I'm looking to switch to the Super Stroke for the same reason. I have a tendency to grip the smaller grip tighter and I am hoping the larger grip allows me to ease up a bit.

I really love my Odyssey Metal-X. Great feel but not TOO soft like the White Ice. As for the grip; I put the 3.0 Super Stroke on there and it totally took the feel out. So now I have a Winn midsize grip and it works very well for me.

Picked up my new putter about a week ago and I went with a Kenny Giannini G-4 No Neck. Decided to roll with the stock .580 Giannini putter grip and I will make a decision after a get a few rounds under my belt with it.

Thanks for the feedback!

How are you liking your G-4?  I have G-2 Chubby and I think it is amazing!

I LOVE my G-4. Part of it may be mental because I have a ton of confidence with my putter, but my putting has drastically improved this summer. I've played and practiced more which obviously helps but I don't think it would be fair to overlook what a proper fitting and confidence can do for your game.

I stayed with the stock grip and I don't see my self going to the SuperStroke.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      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)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      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?
