Description CGB rods and CGB plugs to help shift the center of gravity low and deep into the back of the putterhead, improving launch conditions to promote a superior roll.
Summary: This is a very good putter. I am a 1 handicap, and my putting has always been a little rough. I was using a scotty cameron circa No 2 before i got this, and couldn't find the cup. When i switched to this putter, I found, that i lagged the ball better. In my opinion, it's all about feel. Which ever club you feel most comfortable with, is the one you should choose. You shouldn't choose a club just on it's name,you need to go and try them all out so that you can figure out which type fits your game best. I a very impressed with this putter.

Summary: My putting is very solid coming in at 34-38 each round. I use a Nike T100 oz putter and bought the TM putter because I have enough clubs minus a putter to make a complete spare set. 40 dollars later from Global Golf spare set complete.
I'd like to start by saying that the rating of 3 really is pretty decent. I've used a two-ball and would rate it a 3. My thinking is this. A 300 Scotty Cameron probably deserves to be in the 5 class by itself. Very good name brand putters should occupy the 4 class. 3 for average putters. 2 for uninspired name brand putters. 1 for Walmart 12 dollar jobs.
The Nike T100 oz is a phenomenal putter for 50 bucks on Ebay.
I practice about 5 hours a week on a very difficult green. Difficult because its a practice green isolated from the clubhouse where you can putt and chip for hours under a shade tree. Its high use leaves its grain irregular. So putting is speed, line, and luck.(A very thick-bladed Florida grass)
The Daytona CGB is very good for lag putting. But within ten feet it is not forgiving enough for me to find the cup. I use a ten ball putting test over and over to evaluate my progress.
At ten feet I'm 30 percent with my Nike mallet. I hit 0 percent in my first test and 10 percent in my second. For whatever reason the grain really affects the blade putter more than the mallet.
Nike T100 oz bottom line- lags within 5 feet from just about any distance or difficulty. Automatic from 5 ft.
TM Daytona 1 bottom line- lags a little better but isn't great for putts outside of 5 ft.
I would recommend a better putter than the Daytona. It just doesn't inspire confidence when you're trying to get up and down and save a stroke.

Summary: i got this putter about 4 months ago but have only used it on the course around 5 times. a good putter for putts less than 8ft and easy to control distance but the feel off the clubface is variable- sometimes soft but yet sometimes it makes a click sound.grip is also a bit on the thin side- a thicker more cumfortable one would suit more.sometimes feels awkwrd standing over the putter but overall is a good buy.

Summary: The weights on a blade putter is a dream. Gives me that extra weight on the perimeter. The aluminum insert, in red gives you a clear indication of the sweet spot and a zingy feel at contact. The putter is true. The ball goes where its pointing. This putter is the best of three worlds. Feels like a scotty, zings like a ping and has the weight technology of a modern putter (with the traditional look that I like).
Customer Service: good

Summary: Well I'll start by saying that my putting has been a problem, (to say the least) for a while now. However since I've had a custom fit for putting and chose the daytona cgb thank god no more three putts! Of course there is the odd time you do three bang but you only get what you deserve! Hey it's putting remember! I'm sick of watching all of us putt like jag off's when all putters are pretty much the same off the rack, but yet we all have different ways to putt and stroke the ball. So take my advice if your holding the group up behind you, or you want to break your flatstick over your head (which I have done by the way) or throw it into the closest body of waterat yuor local muni. GET FIT FOR YOUR STROKE, IT PAY'S!
Customer Service: Always a pleasure to do bzzzz with Taylor Made and Golf Town Canada.
