Would you buy ANY putter, if it REALLY worked?

QUESTION: If you found an unusual putter, but it was lights out. You make everything with it. Would you put it in your bag?
Being part of a review process, I have seen more "unusual" equipment than I thought I every would. Putters have to be the most unusual.
Every time I get one of these, I always ask myself, "yes, it works, but would I actually put it in my bag?"
Usually the answer is "no."
How about you?

who wouldn't?

You would be a clown not to play something that is money from everywhere because it looks funny.

because of aesthetics? If its money who gives a shite.

I’d putt with a spoon if it made me a world class putter

To be honest, yes. But, Putting is mainly about confidence though and if you don’t like the look and feel of it in your hands then i doubt you’ll be confident. I’d personally putt with a large petrified elephant dick if i made more putts.

I would, but I know plenty of golfers who own clubs because they look cool

I would use any of those but maybe not the ice block

I think having something that is aesthetically pleasing on the eye builds confidence as well...

I play with a Scotty, but I'll still contend Bettinardi makes the best milled faces. I just can't get over the look of their Inovai mallets

I was putting with my dads Ping Redwood Anser when I started playing golf, then I moved to the Odyssey White Hot 5 for a couple years when he wanted it back. I could never put for shite.

Last year I picked up the Stroke Lab 7S with a super stroke grip and I became the best putter in my group by far. I used to be nervous about 3 footers, now Im mad if I miss a 10 footer

So pretty much I would say buy anything that works for for you. Even if you are playing bad you can atleast have one part of your game you are happy about

Everything within reason or all your putts on the green?

Everything within reason wouldn't help me a ton as I don't miss a ton of putts inside of ten feet and i can go on a run from 10-20. I probably wouldn't game it.

Everything on the green regardless of length, in a fricking second. I hit a lot of greens and have a lot of putts in the 20' range so i would shoot 60 every time I tee it up.

It would have to be ridiculously noticeable how much better it is for me to play a few of those, especially the clear one and wooden one.

Aesthetics are a bigger deal to me than maybe they should be, but I need something appealing to my eye to feel confident. That somewhat goes for any club in the bag.

Of course if I'm draining everything like a tour pro, concessions on looks would probably be made. I probably wouldn't even grab the clear one to try unless it's to goof off, though.
