Something about it just fits the way I putt, because I feel like a surgeon on the greens. I was using a Ping G2 Tess, which isn't bad, but it was just this thing in my hands. The Bulls Eye is my partner and we do great work together. My playing partners say I exude much more confidence than before putting with this club.
It's an Acushnet John Reuter, Jr. model, with the OS M 5 S stamped on it. If anyone knows that that means, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

I have a putter with the exact markings on it. In addition to what Joe has confirmed, it has a tapered and fluted steel shaft and a rounded, leather wrapped grip. The top side of the grip is flattened. There is no sight line on the top of the putter head, but it is not necessary either, because the club has such a superb feel (for my stroke, anyway.) One thing I am curious about is if anyone can help me determine when this club was manufactured. Based on what I have read my guess is anywhere from the early 1960s to the mid 1980s, which is not very helpful. Any link to more info about these putters will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
