Hey,

Ping G5i putter is one Good putter worth noticing.
I bought one for my wife, and it was pretty Good.

I tried one of the new Nike Unitized at a local Golfer's Warehouse.... granted it wasn't during play, but dang that DID feel really nice... I'm waiting on a Rife Barbados... If this thread is still going when it arrives, I'll update on how that plays.

I still use my Titleist Bullseye brass putter. Great feel too bad they don't make them anymore. I bought mine new about 6 years ago. They are definatley very retro now but you can't beat them for feel.

Odyssey 2ball srt all the way!

Umm depends on FEEL and wat you like but also the greens i play on regularly determine wat putters i like . Fast greens make me lean toward putters that are very soft and get the ball on a nice smooth roll. when i started i got a ping anser 2 which i loved. But as i got more competitive and started playing on nice course where greens are fast and tricky i bought a Scotty studio style 2 about 2 yrs ago and it love it for fast greens.

I just bought one of these and I really like it. The weight and balance is really nice - it swings like a pendullum in my hands and the ball has a nice even feel off of it. I had a Odessey 2 ball knock off for a while and thought it was pretty decent - but big and you couldn't really feel the ball in my oh so humble opinion. Anyone else use a Ping g5i here??? I A/B'd it with a bunch of different Odysey models but each Odyssey had a problem to my feel - either the mallet was too small OR big.. or the sweetspot was too small - weight was too lite etc...but everyone here seems to be on the Odyssey kick so maybe I am the one who is screwed up!

I have a G5i (the anser style) and love it. I had it custom fitted, 32 inches long (I'm a shorty) and 4 degrees upright. I am putting better than I ever have. I don't have to adjust my stroke to fit the putter now, I can make a natural stroke.
I highly recommend getting the putter fitted for you

Heavy Puter, by a land slide.. Nothing else to say.

**DennisM** · 06-04-2007, 04:08 PM

I have to admit the heavy putter has an attraction to me. Since I'm as big as Godzilla, a light putter just does these pretty figure 8 moves in my hand. I need something to make me take it straight back and through.

I recently picked up one of the TaylorMade Imola putters and found it fairly heavy, but also with a great feel on the face. I have also tried a bunch of putters in recent times and found without exception that I line up a blade style better than any mallet style, regardless of how many lines or balls it's got. I guess I'm just strange enough that perpendicular makes more sense to me than parallel when i line up a putt.

I like the Heavy Putter, simply becasue it is so very smooth. I can hit slow, long lag putts, and the ball just rolls like it's on ice. No hop at all! short or long distances, I found nothing that could even compare. I found myself hitting putts, without hardly een aiming..that's how good this putter feels. It seems to align itself, and I am SOOOOOOO glad I bought it! You just pull it back, and let gravity take it down..man, so easy, it feels like cheating! I thought my Rossa Mezza Monza VT was nice..but it feels like wood compared to the Heavy Putter! Best money I have spent on golf, since I bought my driver!
