Can anyone give me a valid review on the upswing putter? one was included in a set that i paid 80 bucks for... i thought it was some off-brand deal, because ALL that was on it was "upswing golf".. but i looked online, and found out that they're worth 60 bucks... anyway, i was just wondering if upswing is actually a good company or just overpriced? Also, what set of irons would complement the putter pretty well? what i mean, is i don't want a great quality putter with some really sorry irons or a sorry driver...

Uhm, I'll say simply this:

1) You paid $80 for a set of clubs 2) I've never heard of Upswing Golf Draw from those two things what conclusions you may...

well, i had never heard of upswing either, but i googled it, and found upswinggolf.com.... and i know that i shouldn't buy a set of clubs based on what looks good with the putter... what i was trying to say, is that you wouldn't but a thousand dollar driver and use a hundred dollar iron set... but then again... apparently, my driver is cheap as crap (knight venom, but i plan on keeping it for a good while, because i can drive straight around 200 yards with it

Seeing as there's probably only one person on this board who owns, has used or even seen for that matter, that putter (that'd be you), I'm not sure a review is possible or necessary.

Kinda like saying "Can someone review the apple pie I'm eating, and tell me if I should like it?"

Doesn't make sense.

Uhm, I'll say simply this:

no need to be so condescending

but like some other people have said, there's no need to match the rest of your clubs to your putter or vice versa. There's nothing wrong with owning a 100 dollar driver and then a 800 iron set. whatever works for you works. Given, once you improve and your handicap drops down, it would definitely be a good thing to consider investing in some nicer, name-brand equipment.

It wasn't. He asked for a review. I gave him the reasons why that's not going to happen.

This may just be a new or regional company. In my area we have a small company Prarie Golf, which has some pretty decent products. If you like it use it until you find something better. I used a HOG putter for a couple of years.

I bought and used the Upswing putter a few years ago.  It putted well, but did not setup the best for me.  It is a semi-mallet shape and rolled the ball well.  I gave it to my father-in-law and he loves it.  Excellent putter for the price I paid: $20.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
