Anyone have or used this putter before? If so, what do you think?

Let me also say I have never been a fan of the 2-ball ever since it was introduced. Or at least I didn't think I was. I thought they looked foolish. However I visited family in Florida last November, played a round of golf and didn't bring my clubs. So I ended up using an older model 2-ball and putted pretty well. I've always thought of myself as a blade style person but recently starting playing around with this putter. I can't believe how well it rolls the ball and it's so easy to line up. I almost feel like I'm cheating. Granted this is only minimal use and I haven't putted that great this year so a shovel might feel good so I'm curious what others think of it. Gimmick or not?

Yeah, it seems people either love or hate the white hot insert. However, this one seems a bit, for lack of a better word, harder than some previous one's. I didn't like those old mushy one's they had.

Does anyone else have this putter or tried it? I thought this, or a version of it was popular.

The 2 ball putters look to big/heavy to me. I recently purchased the Odyssey SG #9 and I just love it. I have been golfing for 25 years and this is the putter for me. (tried the Futura, Aserta Eclipse) I am making many more putts 6 feet and in. Somehow the ball just comes off of the face straight and stays online to the hole. I think it's the combination of the low loft, length (34" eyes over the ball) and the lively insert. It is a semi-mallet putter and the weight is just right. Try one....

I have the 2-Ball White Steel SRT and like it a lot. Feels very well-balanced and, to me, the aid in alignment and confidence the balls provide is appreciated.

I've got the 2-Ball White Hot XG 2-ball and really like it. Very solid, and good for the long putts when you have to. I find the visual alignment very helpful, and wont be going back to my blade putter anytime soon. I tried the Scotty Cameron Futura and liked that as well, though it has much left 'heft' than the Oddyssey.

I love my Odyessy 2 ball putter.
For the last month I've been trying to use a blade putter and I've gained 4-7 more putts per round since. So I switch back to my Odyessy and for the last round and I got more one putts along with a Birdie and 6 pars putts and I did get 1 3 putt, but that was my fault for not looking for the line before putting.

I will keep it and probably never look back...

I swapped a White Hot no.5 for a 2 ball center shafted XG (its not the STR but they are similar) and i love it. It has a slightly firmer insert than the white hot. I have so much confindence with the putter that i can do not need to line the ball up to the hole as i used to. I just put the putter behind the ball and make a stroke.

The other bonus is that you get an odyssey poker chip inside the headcover!!
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

I was very amazed with the XG 2ball CS putter. That maybe my next purchase.

Whoa, glad I read this thread - did not realize that was a poker chip in my headcover, thought it was a non-working magnet or something.

I did not like the white hot face, it just sounded crappy and felt too soft. I went with a white steel which gives back that sound I expect and has a bit firmer feel. Ideally I would have taken a Yes! face and married it to my 2 Ball though.

I have an Odyssey 2 ball XG SRT putter and like it pretty well, although have been in a putting slump for awhile (me and not the putter). I am going to be looking at the Odyssey Marksman mallet putter too, which looks and putts pretty well too.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
