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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
