Summary: I bought this putter last december, it has the the most forgiving head that can be used on the green. its light weight, compact, and holds a classic style with a modern look. my father bought the Cleaven putter and he tells me he wants to use it over his putter. Dont get me wrong i like the Cleaven putter he has. But i just like this putter more.

Summary: Wow, the reviews are all over the place on this one... some say it is too light, and many say it is a little heavy, at least more than the SC Newports... I agree with the latter... my Daytona 1 is on the heavy side... maybe they changed the weight over the years...
Took a bit to get used to the heavier feel, but it is a great putter at a great price ($29 Ebay in great shape). I really like the insert, and so does Golf Digest and so does Sergio and several other pros...
Putter quality is top notch, VERY nice. I happen to like it more than the Camerons, which I found to be too light and too expensive. Distance control is xlnt, for me a light putter is harder to get the distance consistently right...
Bottom line is that if you are looking for a really great Newport style putter at a steal of a price, this one is worth a look.

Summary: I picked this up at Dick's Sporting goods for $40.00. Don't let the price fool you, this is a very nice putter. I love insert putter's, this is comparable to Odyssey white hot #1. The thing I like most is you are not penalized very much for a mis hit. If you do not strike it solid the ball still holds it line very well. Distance control is also very good when mis hit. I like the sightline on the bottom of the blade as opposed to on top. It is easy to look at and line up. overall a very nice putter without a crazy pricetag.

Summary: So here we go, got this putter about a year ago, kind of a rushed decision. Looks good but thats about it. I play often enough and shoot low eighties or high seventies, so i guess you could trust what i am about to say. For starters, i cant deny the putter looks well, clean red insert and cool dullish finish. To begin with, the putter is a little too light, lighter than the average conventionsl blade putters, so right away you have to get accustomed with the weight and feel. I wont say its hard to judge distances because i believe that is the golfer and not the putter.
My biggest complaint is that the contact off the clubface is very unconsistent, and i mean i always use the same ball, its not the balls fault. Sometimes the ball comes off true and very soft while other times it sounds as if the putter is made of concrete. This causes some unrest over putts which then leads to hesitant efforts.
Good price at 100 euro though.
But overall i would just let taylormade make my driver and woods, thats about it!!!!
stick with a trusted odyssey , scotty or yes putter.
Steer Clear

Summary: Freshmen on my high school golf team. Had a good season my putting kept hurting me so I decided to invest in a putter, I read the reviews on this and liked how it felt. I used to have 3 3putts on 9 holes since I bought this putter (one with agsi+) i have about 2 3 putts on 18 holes. BEST PUTTER I'VE EVER PICKED UP!!!! WILL IMPROVE ANY GAME!!!
