Depending on where you are at take a look at Black Lab. He does custom putters at that price point and below.

I need to get some info. Local guy will do a putter fitting on GCquad for $50. I don't know if that's a good fitting method or not. I suppose I could do this tomorrow. At a minimum I think this will give me feedback on stroke and loft. I believe I am small arc, which is why I tend to miss left with a face balanced mallet. I also don't forward press, so my loft shouldn't be excessive. But golf surprises me over and over. IDK.
BB1-LN is a sharp putter, no doubt.
Custom milled #7 head shape... Never heard of them before, but looks interesting for sure.
He makes good stuff. Will finish and stamp how you want. Price is pretty good. Like a retail scotty is about the same price. He might be lower depending on what you want.
Downsides, it's not one of the in brands so there really isnt a collection/resale kind of putter. Which in a way lends itself to being a gamer putter.
Current bag battle is the incumbent Oworks mini jailbird vs a Toulon San Diego. Different feel, but not enough preference for me to pick because of it. For some reason, and it could be due to hosel or just my alignment, I’m more apt to pull the mallet and push the blade.
First round in, with the oworks, and it was a blah putting day. Will keep it in the bag for a couple more rounds, get some arccos data and then switch the sensor over.

Last three rounds my putting has been on fire. I can't explain it but I'm seeing my lines, hitting my lines with pretty good speed. I don't know how long it's going to last but I am loving life on the greens
Ended up with a new putter because of the pro at the course I played. I arrived early and told him I was looking for a putter. He asked me some questions. I held a few of their display putters in my hands. He looked at me holding them and air swinging and then walked into another room and pulled a few putters out of a box. He handed me one: this one. He let me take it, practice, and then play before buying it. 35" Odyssey SL Black Seven S with the pistol grip (not the oversize). That was easier than I expected. A subtle but significant improvement for me.
Now the pondering for a blade to join the collection begins. He told me to come back and he'd help me pick a Scotty when they received their 2020 stock. Maybe. I will check them out. This hunt will be fun, not rushed. I think I figured out a few things about what I like in a putter. That's a nice feeling.

Guess I will just keep on rolling the Toulon Chicago,31 putts tonight.
I think it's about time you found something else to roll, sir!!! You're getting way to consistent with that putter.
:laughing:

I struggled mightily with this flat stick today. 38 putts, not including probably four or five more from the collar. It was hideous. The Memphis must have broken out a Portland voodoo doll.
I was wondering, does anyone have or know of a someone making a putter that is a Newport/Newport 2 mix?
the softer rounded bumpers of a Newport but with slightly sharper lines from the top of a Newport 2?
I think that if someone could combine the two, it would make for a great looking putter.

But I am silly. And you have your putter already.
The Las Vegas has solidified its place in the bag for this year. My average putts for the last 5 rounds is 31.2.
Was on the Bay last night looking at some SC putters and came across this one Newport that was up for sale. The putter had been refinished and the refinish job had a real steampunk look to it. Was tempted to buy, but in the end decided not to.

Played 9 holes with 10 putts this evening. Wish I could do that more often.

Helps when you only hit 4 greens.
Played a new course Thurs with sanded greens. I was a putting mess trying to find pace and line. Ball was sliding through breaks and then randomly gripping. I couldn’t find the roll I needed. With the new toe hang putter I need to stay with a slightly taller setup and eyes inside ball. I was getting over the ball — like I do with face balanced and sbst —and that wasn’t working. Back to puttout and mirror and some practice green rolling.
