TPM #2

Summary:
I'm a club ho. I was at Play It Again Sports when I found this putter for 12.99. I knew this was the sale of the century so I bought it immediately and left the scene of the crime. I typically don't like a lot of toe hang. I've been using a face balanced blade to stay on line, but I tried the TPM #2 out yesterday for 18 holes plus 2 hours at the practice green. It performed very well, usually I'll miss the cup by a few inches on the left or right bc I can't can't keep a solid line with a toe hang putter. I guess the flange or the offset or some other thing I don't know about putters makes this one a little different. I was really dialed in with the speed and that was giving my putts a lot more chances to drop. I've been playing with a Yes Tracy and I've noticed that most of my breaking putts have a little too much mustard and I get to watch them break as soon as they pass the hole and end up perfectly as I predicted 2 feet behind the hole.
the TPM is a little hefty and it helps me feel when I'm not being smooth enough. All in all, this putter has impressed me quite a bit. I like a little heavier putter and I love the feedback from poorly stroked putts. Right now its competing for some bag real estate.

Mizuno TPM 2

Summary:
Excellent soft feel, especially with a softer balata type ball. Puts a great roll on the ball and gets rid of that "skiding" on long putts. You will notice the biggest diference on fast greens and shorter puts inside 10 feet, again because of the feel. Great balance and weight. After putter shopping for about 2 weeks, others I like but didn't buy: Odyssey Tri-Hot(too much $), Scotty Cameron Te3 or something like that(also too much $, and didn't like the looks of the offset) Teardrop, whice ever series is the black one, also didnt like that offset style, and a Betinardi putter which I was so close to buying but it was $40 more. As far as the Mizuno: love the feel, looks, price and the headcover!

TPM 2

Summary:
I was attracted to the TPM 2 after ordering a set of Mizuno MP-33 irons. However, that disaster did not dissuade me from trying the TPM 2.

I love the TPM 2. The club just exudes confidence with the beautifully designed one-piece head. The slight offset, alignment line, and rear flange allow for an easy setup. Then, its simply a matter of concentrating on distance. Ready, aim, fire!

The forged head provides a wonderful continuation of the feel experienced from forged irons and wedges. You know you'll get great feedback allowing you to "dial-in" the distance factor. And face it, aren't the majority of your missed putts "just short"? This putter allows you to smoothly stroke the ball from any distance with authority.

Don't get me wrong, this club won't cure putting problems. However, if you currently have a decent stroke, this forged clubhead might contribute to greater consistency on short putts, and improved lags on the longer ones, because of the "feel" factor.

I was lucky to find this putter slightly used and saved $40. However, I'd gladly pay the $125 for a new one especially when compared to the Scotty Cameron's and other rip-offs north of $300.

Customer Service:
Mizuno is the WORST of all the golf club manufacturers, from my experience. I ordered a set of MP-33 irons on May 1. Six weeks later when the clubfitter checked the status of the order, Mizuno hadn't even started building them. Thinking it was the clubfitter, I cancelled the order and placed a new order on June 22 with Dimmockhill.com. They assured me 4-5 week delivery. At four weeks and no clubs, Dimmockhill came back with a new time frame of mid-August. Totally disgusted, I cancelled that order and bought a set of Hogan Apex Plus for $599 at a local golf shop. I've played two rounds and they seem fine. On the other hand, Mizuno single-handedly destroyed my 2001 golf season. My advice: Don't even buy a bag of tees from Mizuno if you have to order them. Mizuno should adopt the slogan: "What you see is the only club you'll get."
