Hawk, what is the length of the putter they sent?
I don't actually know without measuring it, but it appears to be 34 or 35 inches to me.
I showed this off to my neighbor tonight and he was extremely jealous.
Jman, what do you know about the shaft? Is it just a black finish or is there something else going on?
OK unfortunately I am unable to get out to a course until Tuesday, but I have 3 and maybe even possibly 4 rounds scheduled before I have to send this on its way.
Anyhow, I've been practicing with it here at the office every day, plus yesterday I took it out to a practice green at my fav practice facility, and here are my thoughts....
The putter is very clean looking, very simple yet elegant. The black shaft is just awesome and really completes this putter, I really really like the look. The grip is small as hawk as said, its a bit odd at first, but once you get used to it, you kind of like it. However I really think a white grip with this black shaft and putter would just be the cats a$$.
I love the shape of the head, for me it just screams confidence. The single line is nice, and I really don't think you need anymore with the center shaft. Which is a bit odd cause my CS ghost spider has all these lines which I thought helped me align the putt better and I don't feel I need them with this one.
It has a very balanced feel to it, its not real heavy, but has enough weight to it so you can feel the clubhead. Its the first putter i have ever set on the ground and it just sits flat. By that I mean it doesn't twist or turn, like a heel shafted putter, it almost seems to align itself.
There is definitely an audible "click" as the other guys said, but I really like it, plus you can tell when you miss it a bit as well. The ball seems to just jump off the face, yet its very smooth and it gets rolling right away. It actually took me some getting used to as I have been using an odyssey for a long time and recently a Ghost Spider. At first I was blasting putts by the hole, but after awhile I was getting much better with distance control. Once I got used to it, if it wasn't in the hole it was within a foot.
This is only my second experience with a center shafted putter, my first being my ghost spider I purchased a few weeks ago. I think its definitely the way to go for me. Although I haven't actually made it to the course yet, I am already considering whether or not to return my ghost spider. This putter is that nice. I can't wait to get out on the course and see how I roll it.
I'll keep you updated.
Played a round of 18 holes today with the Huey. Also, went to the practice green yesterday.
The practice green was a waste of time as I went somewhere that would be better suited as a putt-putt golf green. Huge undulations and they put the cups where you basically have to make impossible putts to sink anything. Kind of got away from a couple things that I had been working on as I got frustrated and generally don't have much else to say about that.
So, I took Huey out today with a bit of trepidation. The greens I was playing on were not fast, but they were really smooth. Ended up with 31 putts! That's majorly good for me. I hit more 6-12 footers today than I think I ever have. I actually felt like I was putting for the hole rather than the second putt.
Like I said in the previous post, the center shaft is a bit different to me. I have changed my set up with the ball in the center and I'm standing a bit taller. Gets a good pendulum motion that the putter responds well too. I love the speed control I have with the Huey. I'm not leaving nearly as many putts short, which could also be a product of the extra confidence I have with it. Sound is still that nice, quiet click and the ball rolls very nicely off the face. No jumping, skipping, etc. Just a quick roll that stays very true to the line. I love the single alignment line too. It's working very well for me when I set up. The putter sits nicely on the green as well.
Hate to get all honeymoonish, but I strictly believe in results. I have not putted this well in a long time. It's making me completely rethink my beliefs as to what type of putter works for me. I always thought center shafted putters and me would never get along, but the Huey is sort of killing that belief for me.
The only thing I'd change is that I'd like a bit larger grip. Then again, why would I change anything?
Thanks, Jman.
I actually felt much more comfortable with the look today. I didn't have that odd feeling looking down at the ball and it was all much more natural for me. I'm really surprised by this putter. Not so much the quality, sound, and feel, as I already knew TP Mills was top notch in those areas. It also really puts a good roll on the ball and is quite easy to putt with.
Fantastic work guys. I am really big fan of CS putters. If I am half as successful with it as you guys are I can tell wifey to forget about sweaters and cologne under the tree.
It looks like it is a bit smaller shaped than some mallets. Is that just my eyes deceiving me? Do you guys have some common putters in the barn that we could see side by side with the Huey?

Excellent work, Hawk. Sounds like me lately, need to get my eyes checked I think.
Do you feel the roll you get keeps you on the line you pick?
I find that I'm not pushing or pulling the ball off the line I pick very often with it. The problem is that I have issues at picking the line or aligning properly.
Ya think that is a getting used to a CS thing Hawk?
Actually, I don't think it has anything at all to do with the putter. I set up to what I think is the right line, put a good stroke on it, the ball goes where I putted it. It just wasnt the right direction :devil: I'm going to work on picking a spot 12" ahead of the ball to aim at I think.
