Finally got to check these out at Roger Dunn. Definitely a little softer feeling than my 006 Rory. The shoulders look significantly bigger on the origin. Not a look I cared for. Whereas the 006 Rory was an exact copy of an 009 shape, the origin has a very similar shape, albeit not the same. Just didn't look quite right proportionately to my eye. Looks like my 006 Rory isn't going anywhere.
Nike Method Origin Putter Preview

This putter seems to have gained little traction and it's a shame. I've yet to see one to put on a roll on it. Having been a big fan of the method putters for years, was hoping to see Nike do something with these. But then again it's par for the course for them. Introduce a product, throw up some killer images showing off tech, then leave it for dead.

I really like what see but haven't seen this out in about yet. I still game my Method putter and love it. Hoping to get me hands on one at some point.

Same here buddy. IMO, some serious potential, squandered again by clueless and aimless marketing, or lackthereof.

Is the tech similar to EVNRoll?

It's similar in that there are some variable thickness grooves/rzn. But in my testing of both, they are not as effective. Nor does it feel as good IMO. I actually like the older Method feel better, but that could be because I rolled one for about 5 years.

Dean explained it better than I could. They both do have smoe variable thickness to the grooves, but the tech is a bit different when you look at both of them close up. Hope that makes sense.

If you do try, we look forward to your thoughts.

Received my B02-01 and upon unboxing here are a few thoughts
1.) there are entirely too many stickers on the club. There is the patented highlighter green sticker for a shaft band that says slight arc. For a premium putter I see that as gimmicky. Along with the shaft band there is a sticker for length, 2 barcode stickers, a Nike origin sticker, and another sticker showing that all parts were assembled in China. The entire shaft was covered with stickers
2.) the Lamkin grip is awesome. Feels great in hand and isn't too small like the Scotty pistol or too large like the matador. It's all black and isn't distracting. Good pairing there.
3.) the headcover is not magnetic and seems too small for the putter. While closed you can see the heel of the putter. Will see if the headcover gets broken in and fits better.
4.) the putter feels fantastic and rolls extremely well on the carpet. It has a nice clean look at address and I can't wait to get it on the course.
All in all for 149 dollars this putter is worth every penny. If you've been on the fence I would say at this price it is worth the experiment. They have all models available currently including the counter flex option for 149. Will post back when I get it on the course.
