Golf is personal. All the lessons and instructions come down to teeing off on Sunday morning. You are standing on the tee and try to figure out how to beat your index that day. 50% of the par strokes are putting strokes. On the green, it is the only place where golf is not depending on your triceps, torso and swing speed. Where big and tall guys have absolutely no advantage.
Like all golfers, we try to fine the best fit equipment (okay, and look) for ourselves to make us confident (and look good) on the course. We spend endless time and try every possible opportunity to get a deal on the "one" piece that we think can help us to achieve the golf utopia. Okay, I am going to far!
This putter has been in my bag for more then 8 years. I have change different grips, cut it in different lengths, bent it for different lies to make sure the ball does not "pop" off the face with my stroke. It has been tuned to have the highest percentage of hitting the sweet spot and transfer the feel of my vision to follow the balls into the hole.
The manufacture does not make this model any more. They have to develop new products in able to attract new business. And after all the years of investment to make my putter perfect, I need a backup. That is why I have been searching for a perfect replica of this putter. I have been careful and patient selecting the identical putter. Since eBay is a perfect place to seek obsolete products. That is where I look and found.
The black finish of the putter minimize the reflection from bright day light and absorb heat from a cold day. We all need a "hot" putter, right? Anyway, the "warm" putter will keep moisture away and absorb protective oil based product that you apply to prevent rust. Without proper care, this putter will rust. It is the only downside to this putter as it is considered "high maintenance".
The cast iron material make this putter a great instrument for feeding back the contact of the golf balls which is absolutely critical for putter. Because putting is all about feel. None of the great putters in the history of golf is a "mechanical" putter. Feel rates the most important aspect of a putting stroke. Dave Pelz, the master of the short game, also characterize and transform "mechanics" to "feel" as the most important aspect of the short game, including putting.
Personally, I do not feel any "filled" or "duel" material putters give you the actual feel of the stroke and contact of the ball. Because the material is trying to make the contact of golf ball feel otherwise "softer". An artificially injected and transformed, to me, inconsistent of delivery of the true feel. This putter is a single piece milled with true feedback.
The weight of the putter is amazingly balanced. The high precision manufacture technology today made possible to have absolutely the same weight and balance of putters being mass produced time after time. Titleist and Scott Cameron quality are proven, tour proven, if that means anything. The rest is up to us -- pick a putter that really "fits" you. And I did and I did again on eBay. Why else I would buy a second one, silly.
