One more note on this... The putter.Question for the #DreamTeam members.
How many of you went in with a certain setup in mind and came out with something different.
And I am NOT speaking of shafts that were fit, but rather club heads.
I play the Cleveland Almost Belly, 39", and I LOVE counter-weighted putters now. I knew I was going to get a Tank putter, but I wanted a mallet head, not a #1 head like I have now. When I went inside to get fit for a putter, I ended-up liking the #7 Tank ok. So, that's what I was going to order. Then, playing golf with Greg Sabella, he told me of some of the new heads coming in the Tank! Hmm... Those sounded MUCH more intriguing. So, I was going away from the #7 to a different, soon-to-be Tank... Well, then I emailed Chris Koske, Global Director of Odyssey... Global... Director... Did I really email him?! Anyway, I took a chance and asked to see if I could get a putter that has already won on Tour: Chris Kirk won with a "Tankified" version of the Metal X Milled #1. I didn't want a #1, but could I get a #7 Metal X Milled, Tankified??? So, I asked...
Chris Koske said yes... HOLY CRAP! For REAL?!?!?!?!? He said "yes"! He and I went back-and-forth via email on just what I wanted, how much I wanted it to weigh, single-bend vs double-bend shaft, head style, counterweight amount, etc. So, I ended-up ordering a Metal X Milled #7, 400g head (they remove the base plate and add weights inside the bottom of the putter), 30g counterweight in the grip, 38", TANKIFIED!!!! At least for a while, this will be, probably, one of the ONLY ones like it in the hands of the general public!
I, honestly, can't believe it... First, that I even emailed Chris and asked, but that they even said yes! I mean, how cool is THAT?! Not only am I a Callaway guy after this trip, but I'm probably even MORE of an Odyssey guy now!!! I am SO excited for all of my clubs to get here, but this putter has me more excited than ANYTHING else. Just for the potential benefits to a part of my game that accounts for 1-2 strokes per hole, every hole, every round. Unreal... Metal X Milled #7 Tankified... Wow. I NEVER thought going-in that THIS would end-up in my bag.
