What was your first love (in putters?)

[Space Bandito]

What was the putter that first made you say "wow?"

For me it was a Scotty Cameron Studio Select Laguna 1.5. I remember buying it on a whim, not really knowing anything about the head shape or neck, or even the brand. I think it was a late night ebay purchase. The first time I hit it, I was hooked. I rolled it so well, and oh how did it open Pandora's Box.

Then my first Scotty.

I'll say the Odyssey Rossie was where I first got hooked on putters just because it was the first non Walmart putter I ever owned. It's been my favorite shape ever since.

The first WOW putter I ever owned was a torched Scotty Cameron Studio Select 1.5 with some aftermarket milling that was absolutely stunning. I couldn't make a dang thing with it but it sure looked nice.

First putter that really made me a lover of putters was a Scotty Cameron GoLo 5.

I don’t know that I have one. I’ve had plenty of finds but nothing that has become love

... Started playing with an 8802. Traded a TM 580 Tour driver for an $899 Bettinardi BB1. It was a Wow moment.

Man I would love to own a Nead putter someday.

so thankful for THP, that I was lucky enough to win that one. Also thankful, I was able to grab one of his special edition headcovers to go with it a few years later

This sounds a little boring, but a Ping Anser 2.

Nubbins goodness! I had one, the M6.

I had that same Scotty too, I think.(?) No idea the model but it had a higher toe, no?

TP Mills Treadition II, multi material. Stainless neck on a carbon head with the Black Ox finish the way only Mills can do it.

I have immense remorse ever letting it go.

I don't remember the first one that made me fall in love with putters, but I know my Taylormade Ghost Tour Corza was my first "real" putter. I had a weird hand-me-down putter before that which was adequate but not good. it started this crazy buy/sell/trade with putters where I acquired and went through a ton in a year.

My Bettinardi studio reserve jam-F wide was the first one that really meant something, and that along with the Ghost Tour Corza are probably the only two from that crazy swap fest that survived.
