Description Baby Ben is milled from a solid block of aluminum and features the exclusive Bee Hive Center Cavity. The Baby Ben has a unique hourglass design providing easy alignment and acceleration through the hitting area. The smaller head size and heel shafted design gives you the confidence to make long puts feel like gimmies.
Summary: I have been using this putter for years and still haven't found anything I like better. It rolls the ball purely every time and is so easy to aim it should be illegal. I have never been the best putter and spent many years dreading the 4ft. putt. When I got my Baby Ben that all changed. Now all I have to do is read it right and I know it is going in the hole. The last round I played, on a course I had never been on before, I hit a total of 26 putts, didn't miss a single putt 6ft. or less, and made 3 putts longer than 10ft, and I'm far from a great golfer[I still shot a 90:( ].
The weight and size are deceiving until you get used to it, as you have to swing harder than you think you should. And it's not the easiest putter with which to lag. But in all these years I still haven't found anything that tempted me in the slightest to change putters. And I'm a guy who used to buy a new putter a couple of times a year. In spite of the fact that this putter was still new and quite expensive when I bought it, I figure it's saved me at least a grand on new putters since, so I guess it was a good value. ;)
Customer Service: Haven't used it.

Summary: WOW! Besides the fact I got it in MINT condition for $45 (incl. shipping), it could be the nicest, most accurate putter I've ever used. This was my first time using a center shafted putter, but I can tell you it was a breeze to adjust. My partner and I shot a gross -4 Best Ball in a Turkey Shoot (2nd place). Included in the round were birdie putts by me of 30', 11' and an eagle putt of 9' (off a 210 yd Hybrid shot). I NEVER had a 3 putt (rare for me), and my longest par putt was maybe 3'. Easy to line up, loved the feel, distance control is a snap, and the magnetic headcover should last a lot longer than velcro. I love trying new equipment but I NEVER PLAN ON GETTING RID OF THIS PUTTER! MY SEARCH IS OVER.
Customer Service: Never used, bought the club off EBay

Summary: This putter really does have something - lovely weight and balance and a quality finish. Now I'm not going to say I took less putts with it than my previous putter but I know it's going to be in my bag for a good time already. What it does is make putting easy - no mean feat! Once I get more used to it I am certain this will result in less putts per round - thanks Mr H... Been searching for 'the one' for a long time and usually favour blades but this is the best yet.

Summary: Like most that have played for 5-10 years, I have went through many good putters, tring to find "the one". I am here to post that the Baby Ben is the real deal. It has great feel and excellent visual aids. I have only played a couple rounds with it, but the puts I missed were clearly me and I knew it the second it left the club face. The way it is weighted, it almost feels as if it is assisting you in the backstroke. Got it cheap too!
