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....

Any other 2-Balls out there?

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.

      Yeah, watched Geoff Ogilvy's bit on Fried Egg about his conversation with some bogey golfer finding #2 most fun to play and the irony in it being so.  Makes sense.

      So, I think the idea behind it is that the ball is not perfectly smooth (obviously). So, on shorter putts, it is better to hit that point on the ball because it gets the ball into a better roll. You are not compressing the ball with a short putt, so it would act more similar to if you were hitting let's say a 100 sided dice. On longer putts, you might be compression the ball so more of the ball impacts the club face and then that single point doesn't matter.  It might be something he made up, could be a confidence thing, could be a legit thing. Maybe it matters more with how good the greens they putt on.  Also, we are talking about a single point here, and the putter face angle, path, ect.. will change a bit on each putt. So, it isn't like you are hitting that spot exactly in the same way.  Not sure it is worth the effort with so many variables in play.

      Looking at the aerial, there is very few holes were short is bad. You can always putt from off the green, so it makes the short game easier. I can see where the big number is out more often. It's not really a course where you can easily go low at either. The sand down there is super easy to play out of.

      Yeah, even Jamie doesn't really push (forward) with the right leg here, so I bumped on his use of that phrase/term early as well. They get away from it, though, and when they show the movements it's more obvious that's not what he's talking about. I sometimes wish there was a better term because, as you note, it often leads to people trying to actually "push" with their right leg.
