I feel like every two years or so I go to my collection of putters and I'm tempted to break out a new pair. The reasons why can differ, maybe the old ones got understable, maybe I'm just bored.
So I am curious how long is the life cycle of your main putters? Does this differ based on stiffness or other factors? How long have you had the main putter that's in your bag right now?
Life cycle is from new until I lose them, give them away or they break. I choose a putter for the bag from my collection based grip/feel depending on the season ... cold/dry weather gets a different putter plastic than hot/humid. The putting putter that I'm carrying now is ~9 months old; it has been beaten in from time on the practice basket. I have putters that are new to nearly 10 years old. Any of them could make the bag. I putt with Wizards so the plastic options and variability are wide.
For throwing putters (Wizards also); a full compliment would be 1) new with fade; and 2) broken in to neutral.
... or I don't love the mojo.
I hear you. I can get comfortable with a new or beat-to-h*ll Wizard; just give me a little time to warm up with it. But, when the mojo is lost, the mojo is lost and that putter comes out of the game and is sent back to the bench.
My Innova XD is at least 20 years old. There is no longer any ink on it, so it's a good thing I know what it is. I went away from it for a while, but I went back because, but like an old pair of faded jeans, it felt comfortable.
I think McBeth uses new putters all the time, is what I heard anyway.
When they break.
