What putter did you just buy ?

Never Compromise Tycoon. I have been looking for several years and finally found one in really good condition.

Just picked this up the other day. I’ve never seen one before. Rolls pretty pure inside. 

[Ger21]

Cheapest one I've seen on EBay in a while, and also happens to be in the best condition of any of the used ones I've seen. On carpet, feels better than my Oil Can Newport.

Just ordered a Scotty Squareback 2 super select.

[James the Hogan Fan]

I was in the Golf Mart fawning over the newest 8802, but decided just for fun to roll the other Staff Model putters and the MT22 was draining everything. $300+ was a bit more than I could justify, so I went home empty handed.

 

Fast forward a few weeks and a guy on FB marketplace posts this, says he ordered it, rolled it, didn't really like it, wife found out about it, etc. Said $100 and it'd be on its way to me. Done and done. 

 

As a long time blade guy, I didn't expect the mid-mallet offering to be the one, but I am super excited for the upcoming season.

I'm a flowneck blade guy myself but have been thinking of picking up a mid mallet like this one or the Mizuno M Craft Type V...virtually the same putter. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Great looking putter. Do you know the head weight?

I do not. From specs online (golf warehouse) it's 360g. This is also the 34" length, for right now I'm going to keep it stock.

Yeah, unfortunately TGW doesn’t state which length that 360 grams is for. Each length has different weights (10, 15 or 20) so they should all differ by 10 grams. Enjoy your new putter. I guess I will reach out to Wilson.

So clean. That is a huge steal.

Been struggling to find something I'm comfortable and consistent with this year, was in a Golf Galaxy the other day and picked up a Spider Tour Counter Balance, 38 inches and rolled a bunch of putts.  It felt pretty good, put a great roll on the ball, and since I'm a sucker I bought it on the spot........

I’ve had it in hand for a while so here are some updated pics. Don’t know if it’s the shaft or the head or what but I can honestly say I’m putting better with this than anything since my B60 25 years ago. Distance control has been noticeably better. I’m not sure about the grip yet but I’m afraid to change it.

If it works don’t change it.  I have two old hybrids I hit straight and long.  You’d have to kill me to get them out of my bag.

Needed something new to look at that sits flat on the ground with a plumbers neck. Went back and forth between the NP2+ and NP2 but ended up going with the plus for the slight added confidence for long putts.
 

Since it was a pain to find any information regarding how wide the blade on Newport 2+ actually is, I’ll mention it’s by my measure 3.5 cm or 1.38 inches.

[bannermannn88]

Wanted to walk out with an Ai-one CH one but this just felt too good to leave sitting on the shelf. Much prefer this deeper milling to my special select Newport 2. Pure and simple OG. 

[gs1184]

Just bought this putter. Played a couple of rounds with it and it’s just phenomenal. The weight, feel and balance it is outstanding. It’s a keeper.

What a feel on these new inserts. Like a new engine your favorite old car…

just got this one as well. Loving it more than my Scotty’s 

[Golfinfloridaafter40]

OH WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN!!!  Many have seen me bragging about Sub 70 recently which is all true, but it is only fair to share the bad as well.

 

Bought this putter from Sub 70, was really excited about it for a few reasons.  I have long arms/torso and short legs for my height, plus I putt with my eyes directly over the ball, so as you can imagine, I stand close and have to use a shorter putter because of it. Most retail putters are no good for me because of the lack of head weight needed when you use a 32-33" putter. 

This one not only starts at 380g or so, but has a full weight kit included so I knew there was a chance of it being a great fit.  I also hate gimmicky feeling inserts, as I grew up with Ping putters, Bettinardi era Cameron putters, and just prefer the crisp and predictable but soft feel of a milled face.

I need a double bend/face balanced shaft as my stroke is very straight and I saw double bend as one of the many options. Since the price was amazing and the forged wedges and hybrids I ordered were so good, I figured why not try a Sub 70 putter.

 

Looks - Everything about this is what I like.  Size, shape, deep black, non-glare finish with white site lines that really pop next to the ball. EXUDES CONFIDENCE at address!!!

 

Feel - Crisp, soft but not mushy or fake feeling like most putters are today, pretty close to perfect if you like older style milled putters

 

Performance - This is where things got weird!  I know there are many members that will laugh at me owning roughly 150 putters in my life, as some of you have had 1000+ but I consider myself to have a lot of experience in this area, plus putting is the strength of my game. This putter had the strangest balance I have ever seen.  Instead of being face-balanced or having toe-hang, it actually had heel hang.  I'm not even sure if that is a real term, but I knew something wasn't right.  I contacted Sub70 explaining that I thought it would be face balanced, they said that they couldn't get it to there but it was close.  It wasn't!  I started putting and immediately pulled the crap out of every putt I hit.  It was so bad that I made a game out of trying to find some odd way to hold the putter to keep the face from slamming shut.  I even held the face open and tried cutting across the ball and that was about the only way to get the ball to go straight-ish

 

Sub70 is taking the club back and they are known for amazing customer service.  They also have several different hosel and shaft options so one of them may be better, and this is probably not what to expect with all of their putters, but it was quite the let down none the less.

I haven't hit another putter in 25 years since I bought my Newport in 1998. After my first two rounds with this CW II, the Newport may be heading to the BST.
The Piretti feels better, but more importantly rolls better. And the heavier weight smooths out my stroke.

Kudos.  I cannot comprehend or do that.

A few months after I started playing golf, I got a Ping Anser. Putting always seemed to be a least a little bit better (or less bad) than the rest of my game and my teaching pro said my putting stroke was one thing I really didn't need to try to change or improve on. Stuck with that for quite a few years.

 

Then I went through a long time of trying all sorts of other putters. For a couple decades I might settle on one type for a few months, even a year or two, then move on to something totally different. All sorts of blades, mallets, huge high-MOI beasts, even a couple different Anser variants. 

 

Guess it was around 2016 or 2017 I finally got myself a couple of old bronze Ansers and that's what I use now. I've had very brief dalliances with other putters but the past 2-3 years even that has lost any appeal. It's a putter, make a good stroke and rolls the ball nicely. I've played at least a thousand rounds with some form of Anser and it's just about impossible for anything else to really feel right at this point in my life.

same here. Sadly I’ve got a Scotty collection of headcovers and 16 putters and now I feel like I’m betraying Scotty and should sell all my stuff haha. But the piretti is really that good. I’m making so many more putts which I think is due to the weight and how it feels 

[AndersonGT]

So I got this back about a month ago…

 

Bought an excellent condition NC Gambler for $70 on EBay, sent it out to Siege Customs who filled in the cavity line, put on a new sight line, new black cerakote finish including the shaft. Feels great but now my stroke has decided it doesn’t want to be as strong of course. Really love this though.

 

Edit: Total cost for putter and refurbishment came in just under $300 which I though was an absolute bargain for a milled putter of this quality.
