I'm wanting to audition a new putter but I haven't been keeping up with all of the new developments in the last 5 years (working my way back after a long time off). I thought I would take some recommendations. Thankfully, I live close enough to Marshall Street that I can make a trip over and handle stuff in person.
I use a McBeth-style bent arm pitch putt. Here are the putter's I've used.
Firm Wizard - I love how I can get these to do a quick up and down on a good putt. The downside is that I have to putt harder than I'm comfortable with to make this happen and I have a tendency to leave putts low. I tend to come back to Wizards because I've used them the longest and I really like Gateway plastic.
D-P2 - I like the stability of these but it's not super comfortable in my hand and I'd like a little more drop.
D-P1x - Felt pretty good in the hand but had a hard time ranging them because of the glide.
Firm Link - This was the closest thing to replacing Wizards but I could not get over the feel of the plastic and how susceptible it was to chipping. I liked a lot about it, but the plastic was a deal breaker.
Other notes:
- I tend to prefer putters with a bead, although it's not strictly a requirement if it feels comfortable.
- I tend not to like Trilogy plastic but I don't have as much experience with it so there may be blends I could like.
What are your suggestions?
