They weigh the same. The1 inch is a blade while the #7 is a mallet. If the 1 inch is your visual preference by all means go for it. Try both lengths if you can. I tried both heads and lengths and went for the 38 inch #7. The counter balance does feel like a smoother pendulum swing. Can't yet say it sinks more putts but I like it so far.

Great, thanks!  Does anyone have thoughts on the traditional Tank models vs. the Odyssey Works tank models?   Some reviews I've seen seem to say the Works models don't truly have any additional counter weight, just extra shaft with a super stroke grip.

I have found that heads that heavy as in the Tank 7 produce stability but the feel is numb and they are ... heavy!

But whatever fits you is what counts.

I have both the Tank #7 and the Works version.  (I keep a set of clubs in AZ for the winter).

My putting has improved from an average of 1.9 to 1.7 strokes per hole per round.  Is it the putter?  I don't think so but I have so much more confidence.

Whatever works for you.  I really like both of these putters.

Thanks for the feedback.  I went to a local shop to try some out, and I do like the feel.  Actually liked the #7 better than the #1 to my surprise.  Found a good deal on one of the newer tank #7 cruiser models and pulled the trigger.  Will report back with thoughts.

The Tank 7 Cruiser allows you to adjust weights in the head and grip so you can get the feel you want.

I played around with the original Tank without adjustment -- my guess is they agreed with other golfers that many of us felt too much weight was not a good thing for feel and voila! The Crewser Adjustable is birthed.

Good idea.

Well I went ahead and dumped it in favor of a traditional weight, traditional length, traditional head Ping Cadence TR Anser 2.  I could not be happier.  It just fells right.  I seem to have a better feel for the speed which really helps on lag putts.  I could never get used to the counter balance and length.  I may have been just fine if I had got in the standard length instead of the 38 in version.  Live and learn I guess.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
