My friend has a new putter every time I play golf with him, he changes all the time! A bit like Retif Goosen!

Me, on the other hand, I find a putter and stick to it - even when my putting is a little off! A bit like Tiger!

What are you? A changer or a keeper?

Well, now it seems that i might become a changer!
My putter, Odyssey Two Ball, has left in deep troubles!
I have played with it about four years now!
I might even consider hacking it around a tree if it doesn't perform well next round! (Club championship next weekend)!!

I have tried Scotty Cameron and it feels very solid and good! Only the price tag is terrible! Over 300 euros of a putter!

By the way, i'm very pleased that somebody else did ko tiger last round!

You forgot the rotater. I have a TM Daytona,TM Monza and Scotty Futura. I`ve had them for a few years and still cannot work out which is for me. Love the feel of the Scotty but its far to light and tend to lag. Daytona is a CGB and is perfect except I miss the two footer when is counts most (yips). Monza has no feel to it
It cannot be me so perhaps I need to become a changer

If you like the Scotty - You'll like the Bettinardi C03 or BC03, both are cheaper than the Scotty, but arguably just as good!!

Go with the BC series if you are going Mizuno.. Scotty have fallen out of the most desired putter.. With that said - my Old Titleist Bullseye is the Winning standby..

I have to admit, that despite being a "keeper", if I was to change putters it would deffinately be the Ping G10 Craz-E I would go for!

I have the C04 and the Ping Ugle. Once you have used the Bettinardi it's hard to go to a ping which has no feel. Don't get me wrong, the ping is so easy to align but in terms of feel it's like wearing a condom.

Used a Scotty cameron Newport for a good few years and then switch to a 2 Ball blade which I've used for about 4 years so I tend to be a keeper. Find a swift kick to the head with the sole of the shoe just below the front toe tends to get the putter performing again :). PS don't miss and use your toe as this can hurt!

Can't remember who it was now (I'm sure someone will remind me...), but the story of a proffessional golfer who was so angry with his putter, tied it to the rear bumper of his car and drove to the next tournament dragging it behind all the way really cracks me up!! :)

Would consider beeing a keeper. Started off with a couple of Ansers and got a RAM Wizzard blade as a b-day gift on my 30th. Then went on to NeverCompromise Voodoo heel shafted 34":r and have been stuck with it, even though it fails to work from hole to another.

Got totally mixed up after a grip change, since the angle was not just the same as last time. I'll be definetly in agony next time I change.

The orginal was like a pencil, and I went to Pride Special (full cord) and that made huge difference. Unfortunately it is no longer available, exept in some old stocks.

i've been in the market for a new putter. currently using a Yes! putter.. but i was considering a Bettinardi.. but a bit on the expensive side..

you say this Bettinardi has good feel? hmm.. i might just need to try one of these..

The feel and the swing weight are just great, they are expensive new but I got my Bettinardi C04 from E**Y for £80 virtually new with headcover. Try one out in a shop to get the feel but look around before you buy.
