Ok got out and played 3 holes and then rolled putts for about 15 minutes or so on the last hole. My initial thoughts on the BHB02:
Looks: This putter looks great. The black finish is matte and very well done, there are no defects or imperfections on mine. I really like the logo on the face as well. The headcover is fine, nothing fancy, but it looks good and will protect the putter.
Feel: I have never had a milled putter before, but I have rolled them in the local Golf Galaxy several times over the years. This feels just as good as any milled putter I have used including Cameron's. The billet of steel the blade is milled from is forged instead of cast so I suspect that this gives it the very solid yet soft feel that I am getting
Sound: the sound is probably a lot of the feel and the sound of this putter is quite satisfying. Just a nice thunk. No click and no ping (pun intended).
Performance: I picked this putter because the Hogan website said this is the putter for golfers who use a strait back and strait through putting motion. They were right I hit maybe 40-50 putts and I never felt like the ball went off the line I was hitting it on. Another performance note for me personally was that it seemed like this putter maybe had a bigger sweet spot than my Ping B60. None of the putts felt like they jarred the face sideways, which probably has a lot to do with why they were all on the line I hit. This could be shaft design or sweet spot, not sure but I really enjoyed the putter today.
I will get out some more this week and post some more thoughts. I will also be happy to answer any questions.
