Need suggestions on a putter

I was in the same boat as you. Couldn’t find a putter that I like after getting back into golf. Bought a cheap ping but kept trying different outlets everywhere they sold them. Found a used Odyssey that just felt right for $60.

I think you will find one that just sets up right for you if you try enough.

Some pro shops may let you take them into the putting green for a tryout.

Now, can you squeeze out a slightly better performance by having the "RIGHT" one? Probably yes.

Haha. I kinda chuckled when I wrote that. I don't think a new putter is going to make my line selection or speed any better or worse. Mostly I just WANT a new putter since it's the most out of date club in my bag but I'm not particularly a seasoned player so I wasn't sure if there was something to look for or not look for. All I know is belly putters are kinda ghey looking. Not interested in those.

I just ordered some new golf shoes. Been playing in tennis shoes and I have a fair amount of power in my shot and my feet are slipping all over the place. I won't know what to do with myself once I stay planted. That's probably where I'll gain a fair amount of consistency.

The last few pieces I need is a fairway wood and a set of wedges. My set came with a pitching wedge but I like a sand wedge loft also and it didn't come with that.

I've made it 5 days and haven't regretted my most recent purchase.

IDK man. I pick up on a tinge of regret in your texts yesterday.

If you like a slightly taller putter, figure out what model you like and then order directly from the manufacturer. I also like a slightly taller putter, so I got an Odyssey putter that was specifically ordered to 35.5, which you can’t buy in stores, directly through Odyssey on-line. Have putted better with this one than any other putter before.

My buddy bought a new putter about a year ago and has let me borrow his Taylormade Daddy Long Legs.

At first I loved it because i was using a POS before, but now I can't stand it.

It feels so, idk, soft. Almost like you're striking the ball with rubber. I can't get a feel for anything on halfway fast greens.

I REALLY like the look of the Futura X5.




Are there any similarity shaped putters to this model? I wouldn't be opposed to buying this putter, but a few more options would be appropriated.

This means a lot of different things now. I can't stand those soft inserts they put in the "select" stuff. Scotty used to say that only lazy putter makers made putters with inserts like that. Go figure. The older stuff was great and obviously he's created a high end market for the tour-only stuff. But EVNRoll, Odyssey, Ping, Betti, etc. all make really good putters. None of them help you judge the breaks and the speed though.

This is going to make me look like some jort wearing horrible golfer, but I'm pretty good, just never took the game seriously.

But golf shoes and learning to hit wedges took my game to a completely different level.

I wore boat shoes for really long time. Buying golf shoes helped more than I would have ever thought. It allowed me to be so much more aggressive with my swing. I immediately felt like an idiot for waiting so long to get them

And like you, I was hitting my PW an every shot from 100-145. I hit it really well, but obviously it's REALLY hard to be consistent. Grabbed some wedges and my goodness, it has made golf so much more enjoyable. I held off for so long because I just couldn't hit them very well.

I'm no stranger to piss poor rounds of golf, but now, any time I'm having a good go of it I flirt with and shoot in the 70s. Those 2 things completely changed my game.

The X5?

Do you like it? All the video reviews I've seen say it has a really nice "click" or solid feel at impact.

That's the most important to me right now. I just also happen to love the look of that putter.
