What he said, my putter is pretty special.

Yonex Super A.D.X. Tour Forged (just like Phil used in the 90's)
 
I've put my vintage mid 90's Odyssey Dual Force 880 in play the last month and a half. Still roll it pretty well. Made 6 birdies in my last 3 rounds with it.

I think this is going to be the answer for many of us.

I forgot my putter in the car once, and had to putt w/ the Nead for the first 9 holes. I was making basically everything.

I'm surprised it didn't accidentally end up in your bag, post round lol
 
I have been testing various 'blade' putters over the last few weeks after two friends are bagging them, one a SC circa 62 No1, the other a vintage 8802 style. The putts are rolling stronger and get and stay on line very well. Despite the smaller sweet spot the roll is premium. My SC 2.6 needs a near 'perfect stroke' to get the strong roll of my acquired 8802 style below. Thanks for the info on Yonex and 'Miura 008'

Have had a couple over the years. Great from 30ft can't make anything inside 15ft with them. Answer style works best overall for me.

I think the newer (2014) re release of the 8802 from Wilson Staff is my favorite. Such a perty face. Almost bought one as my Christmas present to me. :)

That is a work of art!
 
This is my favorite 8802.
Copper insert, copper wash shaft, and black alligator grip.

Those Nead putters are awesome. I honestly had never heard of Nead before, looks like I was maybe missing out.

The Centennial version from W/S is by far my favorite, and while I own one, I can't make jack with it, so it's just something pretty in my collection. LOL

This putter is 'BLOWING THE DOORS OFF' anything! that has got in my hands. I have tuned a lot of putters for customers and tested them on greens before they go Its kicking my SC 2.6 to the kirb HARD (which has been reshafted few times to optimization). Not just me, my wife is a putting bandit and out putts some of the boys...she loves it, yesterday Jeff with a SC Newport select yesterday...Wow! 'clearly its more accurate'. This putter 'rolls' it, puts it on line, stays on line and keeps rolling to the cup, its like the ball went from 2wd to 4wd!. Miss hits find the cup...they barely drop in as they are almost short...but they are in!. 15-20 footers it shines, 5 ft its just in dead center. I just bought Miura KM-008, which is in shipping transit...guess we will have a shootout.
Manufacturer: Cobra Bobby Grace Signature
Model: THE 2200 “Softie”
Head Style: Classic Flanged Heel Shafted 8802
Head Material: Rare Copper Body
Insert Material: Yellow Hole Seeking Material (HSM)
 
I am honing in the 008 sweet sport and exact stroke needed to roll it. Its precise and my muscle memory is getting dialed in by the feedback. Its laser accurate and have been rolling it 'dead center' to the cup with a solid strong roll that 'stays' online all the way. 008 struck well is the best yet. Distance control is amazing. I been putting off the green 10-15y!...and the block head mass rolls it up pin high so much easier. My misses...mainly thin misses coming out of the 355g / E3 SW is thin off the bottom and still finding the cup...or short. This putter is so accurate...eg setup open or slightly right of hole, I can correct it by a good release and get to the hole, I can turn the ball with a hold off or release to fine tune the putt...that's how easy it is to putt on a dialed in stroke, I know what to do to get the ball in the hole, it like a extension of my brain. This putter is majic. Its up against my currents: 8802 bobby grace, SC 2.6, SC red x, none of these have the mass behind the ball to roll it like this!. I like the smaller head to...it does not teeter tot back n thru

I had one of those years ago.



I've had many 8802's/NAPAs over the years - I have about a half dozen or so in the "cheap" bag right now.


I'll get a pic or three up in time. I just grabbed this cool Fatshaft 8902i that I had never seen before (that I recalled) and grabbed it at PIA. It has a black Stronomic/Dual Force type of insert in it. I have several Wilson variations. I have an Odyssey original White Hot #8 I got at Goodwill once. I had a Bettinardi BC7 that I loved but had to move on from and sold.
