What putter did you just buy ?

[Yzmerf]

Traded 5.5 custom for this. Should be here Monday

[DSIMPLIFIED]

Nothing crazy but I got this two days ago. Prefer a lighter putter and I’m right hand/left eye dominant so I really like a sight dot/line up top.

Got this off a trade for a driver.  I think I won the deal.  Newport 2+ Jet Set.  I have the same model in the Champions Choice and love it.

Very nice! I’ve almost bought the regular Newport 2 Jet Set multiple times but it just never ended up happening. How do you like the Newport 2+ shape?

I love the shape and weight.  I have the same model Champions Choice.  It seems like a nice blend of added forgiveness but blade profile…. Without being a big square back.

Bought a Versa 7 DB and reshafted with a black PVD shaft. May have a contender to knock the old spider tour out the bag 

[tarrantian]

• Taylormade My Spider Tour X3
• 'My' version with custom colour choices
• 34.5"
• KBS Stepless Black PVD Shaft
• 11g weights (vs. stock 6g)
• SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol GT 1.0

This started life as a detour

I just added another vintage brass putter to my collection. I love the look and feel of brass and will definitely have this in the rotation. The head only weighed 287 grams, so I thought I would increase it and based on the name of the putter decided to insert coins in the hollow slot (13 pennies sealed in by epoxy). This increased the headweight by 45 grams. It seemed to make cents to take this approach.

Bought some proper tamiya paints finally and redid the paintfill on my 2LON

I’ve been gaming the same Odyssey White Hot tour for the last 12 years but I picked up a Teardrop TD21 on a whim a few weeks ago for $25 and have been loving the feel while messing around with it

Didn’t care for the feel of the Odyssey Ai-One Milled.  I was going to wait for the Seven DB to be released in February but the golf gods knew I couldn’t wait so as luck would have it, I found a used Ai-One White Hot lightly used in the used bin at Carls Golfland.  Then I found a Tri-Hot 5K the other day as well, so just waiting on a new grip for the 5K before I do some basement putting test with these 2 vs my gamer Odyssey V-Line White Hot Pro. 

 

5k head seems just a touch bigger.  Both are larger than the Milled Seven head when I compared them in the store.
 

 

 

Which on is winning? Have the 5k and an ai double wide. Debating the #7 as well 

[Radeon962]

Ai-One #7CH.
 

Slightly smaller head than 5K (but bigger than the Milled Ai-One) and I prefer the all steel shaft in the Ai-One. The Stroke Lab shaft just feels different to me.

 

The Ai-One insert feels very much like older White Hot inserts while the 5K feels firmer. May be due to the shafts or just how the heads are weighted. I used a 25g Superstroke Countercore weight in the grip on both. 
 

The Ai-One just rolls the ball so well,  feels better at impact to me and just looks right down by the ball.

 

Granted, things could change once I get on the course in a few months but Ai-One for me all day long based on putting in the basement.
 

Whether it will unseat my gamer, an old Odyssey V-Line WHP, is another thing.  That will not be decided until the snow is gone and I can play with both on the course to see how they actually perform in play.

Just got it today. Not sure how much the shaft changes the feel but safe to say I love it!

Those shafts only change the way your bank account feels, not the actual putt 😛

I ended up winning this putter from Spoiler golf on Instagram and although it's got a strange look to it, the roll it puts on a ball is possibly the best I've ever seen. They definitely put in time and research to get the design right. I was initially worried about what mis-hits would do but so far I've experienced zero problems. 

 

I modified it a little since this picture, I extended it to 37" and added about 20g of lead tape to the sole and installed a Superstroke 3.0 17" grip. 

 

Our courses have been closed due to weather but if it putts out on the course as good as on my indoor mat, it'll be a winner.

@03trdblack
thanks for sharing, it has an intriguing look ... reminds me of those old-timer "Tru-Roll" putters.

Yep it's another round face style of putter. This design was inspired by using the leading edge of a wedge to putt since that's a popular training drill. 

 

The company seems cool and I'm always rooting for a small company to do well. Golf is a tough industry to break into.

@03trdblack Intrigued to find out where you'd install ~20 grams of lead tape

... IMHO, i'd place the Lead Tape on the underside of those "wings" or "fangs"?

I used the high density lead tape and used the flat areas on the back spoiler wing as well as over the logo and over the front weight.  The entire sole basically just looks silver now.

It's cool. Kind of reminds me of the designs Tad was doing with walter Hagen and Hotblade.

Placed an order for the new L.A.B. DF3 in stock configuration!

Also a much more extreme version of the radial face that Bobby Grace is doing.  The Bobby Grace insert puts an incredible roll on a ball too.

Love the innovation!  It was playing tricks on my eyes looking at it initially.

 

Definitely intriguing, and maybe can be used as a wedge in a minimal bag?!

Old White Hot 2-Ball. Always on the look out at my local shop for gems. $32, throwing a Pingman cord on it tonight.

Giving me OG NES vibes, and sounds like it came with a cheat code based on how you describe how it rolls
