Summary: I have tried to get the same feeling with every other putter out there and none of them come close to the feel that I get with this putter. I wonder if the reason why I can't putt with a ping, scotty cameron, odyssey or even the wilson 8802, is because my hands know what a bulls eye putter feels like. This is a classic putter. It was really popular when the balata tour ball was being used much more often back during the 70's, 80's, and early 90's. This design has been around for much longer, but it cannot be duplicated. John Reuter Jr. really created something special. Nowadays the balls are so much harder that you don't get the same feel that you used to get with a balata ball. But with this putter, you can come a little closer to that special solid feeling from a sweet spot putt. I just picked this putter up again a few days ago and I am amazed by the feel. I swore to myself that I would be a long putter player from now on because of my yip problems on short puts. I can't make a 3 footer to save my life. I used to be much more consistent with this one than any other one available. Anyway, this is a great find, I have the Flare Tip Satin shaft on it, which probably is like graphite. Great combination, brass and graphite. Thanks Acushnet!! Shines up with a Brasso treatment too, but beware the bright glare. Also have lead tape on the bottom. I also am learning to putt left handed with this putter too, no other putter can allow you to do that. 35".

Summary: This putter has good reviews all over and there is not to many things I can add to it.
However, I play this putter for close to 20 years and although I tried other putters to find out if I can improve, I have never had a putter in my hand with the same feeling. All this new technology and so on is great and I am sure it works. However, this putter has a greawt feel when you hit the sweet spot. As a matter of fact I think, if more people would try to practice with a putter like this, they would improve over time.
I change grips some times and tried all kinds of grips. So that is where you can make it fit to you.
A great putter for every one. You need it longer, get it customfit.
Customer Service: I got it from a garage sale. So I do not know. The people who sold it were nice. The guy told me to take good care of it and so I did and will.

Summary: I've had this putter since 1976. I was once told if I could learn to putt with this blade I would be better off than most average casual players. It is dead on accurate from any distance if you know the club. It is also very unforgiving if you don't know the club. Practice has given me confidence in the simplistic design and basic stoke habits needed with this club. Try it you'll like it.

Summary: I think everyone should give this type of putter a go, sure it might not suite all, but you may be surprised. Like some of the other reviewers said its only when you try something this simple that you can see how off putting all the lines and funny inserts and shapes can be, in my opinion all that crap can take your attention from the target and too much into the putter itself. Its only my opinion, give it a go and see what you think. The other thing to note is the excellent workmanship that has gone into this range of putters, I would bet anyone, even those who find the putter is not for them, that they would not believe what a soft feel Scotty has got out of a putter that is essentially a sold bar of metal (IE not hollowed out or with a face insert). But regardless of the soft feel the putter has a mass that makes getting the ball to the hole a product of a smooth stroke and not a hit, this greatly enhances accuracy and feel.
Customer Service: not needed
