Wow. Valley.... sheesh. :-O

I've been scouring the posts to see if I could find info on the "eaiest" putter for high-handicappers. I know it's a matter of feel however, I hear there are other factors such as where the shaft is located, length, type of head, weighting etc. My gf has a TM ghost mallet because she thought it "looked cool" and has been struggling since day one with it. We have been told that the insert on the face makes the ball come off the face "too hot" when she is within 10 or so feet. I know it's about stroke as well but, the pattern is the same no matter if she hits the ball well or not. Any help is appreciated. Gotta pick a new one up by this weekend Thanks! M

For some reason, my first post pulled a profile I made after I thought this one got deleted??? Sorry if it looks like I'm having a thread where I'm two people :-)

Awesome! Thanks!

I'm a 25.1 index and have a hard time with hybrids. I hate to say but, I have tried them all. Recently, I got an Adams Tech V3 (reported to be the easiest to hit) and am having some luck. It feels amazing when you make contact! The ball just goes forever! Very satisfying! I have better luck in the rough than from the fairway??? The (regular flex) shaft feels a little "whippy" but that's about it. Hope this helps!

I say if you like it get it. Personally, I don't have the strong reaction others do about the white color but it looks like in the right hands it's quite a driver.

Oh cool. I have a squareback #1 as well. I'm looking forward to seeing it! Mine is getting pretty beat up. Hmmmm???

I originally hit the JPX800 and was hooked. I am a 20 handicap so the JPX800 was a fit numbers-wise. Interestingly enough, during my fitting, the Mizuno rep suggested I consider the PRO's as I play 2-3 times per week and am committed to getting better. He told me there will be a "learning curve" and I'll grow into them and will actually benefit over time. Never having or knowing about what a forged club does and nothing with the word "PRO" in it and knowing the handicap-rating ceiling was 16 I was kinda nervous about it. After 2 rounds I can hit the PRO's pretty well. They don't have the distance on less-than-perfect hits but, they feel more "accurate?" and don't sting your hands on a thin hit. I had the '09 Burners and could hit them a country mile but often miss the intended target. The JPX800PRO's kinda "go where you want them to" if that makes sense??? Also, I changed up the shafts to a KBS stiff from a regular flex DG. I noticed the ball flies at a lower trajectory almost right at the target. I kinda like it as opposed to the high ball flight I had before. Until I become more familiar with the clubs, I'm choosing a club higher on the short grass and a club lower in the thick grass when hitting. It seems to be working. I look forward to getting used to these as I feel they will definitely help me get better :-)

Cool site. I'll keep an eye on it :-)

Nice! Great stuff all around!

$300 sounds a little more reasonable. At the time of my fitting Roger Dunn was asking $499 for the DI-6s. Do you get shaft upgrades for less $$ directly from the club manufacturer when place your order?

I had the same experience with the 2.0 and the JPX. I ordered a set of JPX's based on the tighter dispersion :)

I have spoken to some better players who aren't really attached to the TM brand but, they all had nothing but good things to say about the R11in terms of feel and performance. There are mixed feelings about the white paint though???

The Diamana Kai'li that came with My D2. When I was being fitted and hit the Graphite Design DI-6s. It felt a little better but at $500 bucks I couldn't pull the trigger. The good news is that Kai'li works well for me. They say stock shafts aren't as good as aftermarket shafts but, I think Titleist Kai'li comes pretty close.
