This Cheap Putter

*zra76 said: I feel a little weird to be carrying all this high dollar, latest technology, big dollar shafts equipment yet I have a $10 (if that) putter. I was going to try a Cameron RedX... I tried one today, guy I played with had it, I hated it. No 3 putts today and holed several 1 putts with my Tear Drop "roll face" putter. Anyone else play a cheap or odd putter? Should I care if the thing is putting it in the hole? I knew my thinking was offbase when I brought this putter back out. I thought I would try the offset, 35" to get used to it when that Circa 62 was en route last month. That round I made a bunch of putts, including one over 20ft. breaking downhill to save par. Today I had 2 sand saves and no 3 putts.

If you really feel the itch of trying to get a more "known" putter try around for something that looks and feels the same a bit. Putters are preference and we all know that. Go with what works.

V*teWhitey4Prez said: Mine is pretty odd, but I haven't ever played with a different one to know if it is any good or not. It looks like this, without the spiders on each side...http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10.../bin/jg44b.jpg

MGP said: My gamer is a putter I built this past winter. It's an Inazone B-3 head. I have been putting lights out with this thing, better than I've putted in probably 10 years. I built five putters this past winter to try out and came up with three I've kept. Out of the three, this one is the best. Inazone B-3 Head: $18 Straight, stepless putter shaft: $4 Winn Excel AVS grip: $5 Total cost: $27http://www.webtoo.net/misc/100_0173sm.jpg

S*ndpiper3 said: Ez, of course its about how much it costed!!!! And about how much you saved off retail:) If it helps any, I just picked up my Red X2 today.

R*ckinMA said: I had the original tear drop putter in my bag for way too long - it was the softest feeling club i've ever hit a ball with, but i could have putted much better with something that helped me align my putt better visually and provided more feedback

*zra76 said: I don't know what it costs, I got it as a kick in on a trade I did, R7425 for an R510TP. I made out on that one. My boss has the B60 and I like it. I just can't stop holing putts with this el cheapo Tear Drop.

Th*tCanadianGuy said: I'd putt with the flag stick if I could make a putt. Haven't been putting well latley.

M*KE1218 said: Teardrop "Roll Face" for me to, Ez. :idhitit:

*zra76 said: Allright. Let's get some love going for the Tear Drop. :laugh: The heck with it. I putt 10times better with it than a $300 Scotty. She's might be ugly but gets the job done. http://www.shottalk.com/forum/attach...k-dscf0996.jpg

Th*tCanadianGuy said: That's not an ugly putter. Pretty Classy if you ask me. I may have to ho a new blade:(.

*altim said: The return of the lanolium! :D If it works, keep it in the bag.

R*ckinMA said: that putter isn't too ugly - if it makes putts, keep it this is the one I was talking about - this thing is ugly

D*vebud said: I got a cheap one now that found its way into my bag, and it has cut my putts, (well that and lots of practice) the worst part is I can't even tell you what brand it is. I know the brand, I just can't tell you, it would be inviting abuse from Warbird.:hunter:

g*nning4u said: I love my Teardrop TD31 I’ve tried to knock it out of the bag a bunch of times with a 2 Ball Blade, Ping B60, and a Bettinardi but I always go back to the Teardrop. I have never had a putter that I can get to roll end over end better than the teardrop. Mine cost 90$ at the pro shop but I got it for free 3 years ago for winning a tournament. Here some pics

R*ckinMA said: so I'm the only one with the fugly original tear drop - did I mention I carried it with Cleveland VAS+ irons? ....ugliest....bag....ever...

*zra76 said: 29 putts for "el cheapo" today. Scotty Cameron eat your heart out. :laugh:

*zra76 said: Quote: Originally Posted by Rockford35 This is EXACTLY why a custom putter means wasted money, IMO. R35 I also holed the longest putt I ever have on the course. I've holed longer on the practice green a few times but this one was a bomb, downhill over 50ft. http://www.shottalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif I can just get a lot more comfortable over the ball and feel I can see the line using this thing.

J*FF4i said: I've always said it. Scotties are nothing special.

g*nning4u said: Ez how much does your putter weigh I think they are a little heavier maybe 340-345. If anyone can get their hands on a teardrop take a range ball or a proV with the aiming line and see how well these things roll the ball, very tight end over end and no wobble in the line. Don’t be surprised if it kicks your 300$ Scotty or Odyssey “Crap” or I mean Black out of the bag.

*zra76 said: The total weight is right around 500grams. The scale jumps between 496 and 504. Not sure what a Scotty 330 35" weighs total but definitely feels lighter than the TD to me. The end over end roll might be the thing that's making this thing so good. My misses were all a slight push or misread. I made nearly every straight putt I had today, up or downhill.

G*odDay said: You have how much high-dollar equipment in your bag? Know how many players were in MB playing the calcutta this week that were playing with old "cheap" putters in their bag? LOTS. Know how many knew the total weight (in grams) of their putter? Probably not many. Ever stand over a putt worth $40,000? At that kind of money, it ain't about "Miura". It's about sinking those bad boys.
