I am sure many have picked a club by sheer chance, without any prior intention to buy, from a bargain bin or even a new one that just instantly felt right. In a way, this happened to me recently - just that it was not from brick and mortar store but online.
I had been trying to find a putter...
Update from OP:
My quest for my long-term gamer is coming to a conclusion.
M7X is not going to go into my bag simply because I am putting better with the eventual winner and I also prefer the feel of my new long-term gamer.
I would encourage anyone to try/play an M7X. It has helped me with my...
Very interesting ... I tried putting with my eyes closed and made 7 putts in a row :)
Then pulled the 8th one badly.
The putter head does want to stay balanced. Very cool !!!
I am playing a game at home with these putters. On my putting mat I roll puts from 5, then 7.5, then 10 feet and then 5 feet again. I keep counting until I miss. With the Newport my current high score is 62 i.e. 62 consecutive putts made. Before the grip change my high score with M7X was 17...
M7X is going head to head with Newport 2 and Pirette 801R. As good as its been, I felt like it was going to lose out to the other two but the change in grip is keeping it in contention for now.
I replaced the SeeMore 60-gram grip with an Iomic I-Classic 50 gram grip which has a much slimmer profile. I like it a lot better as I much prefer slimmer grips. A slight increase in swing weight due to the reduction in grip weight is also something that I prefer.
+20 gram pair is quite a lot but if that feels good to you then it does not matter. I would say try 30-gram pair also. Perhaps that would be a happy medium.

If you are using stock lie/loft then I would suggest using a tool like ^^ to find out your lie angle and get it adjusted if necessary.
@Slowmo I feel your pain.
I am in no position to shell out any putting advice but I can perhaps give some putter advice since I have tinkered a bit lately :)
I will say please do yourself a huge favor and get the lie and loft angles adjusted to what is right for you. This will have a...
Haha ... well you are welcome :)
It's difficult to make a putter choice as is - and then we have random threads about putters that muddy waters further.
I will give full credit to SeeMore. They are not copycats. They are not just putting a spin on something already done and then claiming...
Grip:
I ordered my M7X with a SeeMore 60-gram grip (ITEM # G7860). This is the lightest and slimmest grip offering. I wish they also offered a slender grip similar to the older Scotty Cameron Studio Design grip or Ping PP58 or something like that. I prefer those grips over the thicker grips that...
