So I was in town today looking around at my local play it again store, and I have been noticing a a hickory shaft Otey Crismen? Putter that has been in there now for a little while. Each time it catches my eye . Been thinking of picking this up to use, just wondering if anyone has used one or still does uses  one?

Thanks

I've got two Otey's - one with a wooden shaft and square hosel.  It takes some getting accustom to.  The shaft flexes noticeably and the grip is very small in diameter.  It is more of a museum piece than it is an active implement.  I use the steel-shafted Otey, on occasion, and do alright with it.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

I didn't notice any shaft flex on this one, I believe the hosel was round on this one also. I think it was the 18 HBW maybe? Now I have just tried it a few times indoors so I'm sure like you say, it would take some getting used to
