Doing a little research on something and would love some honest feedback on what draws you into a putter?
Brand Names? Sometimes
Tour Usage? Not really
Shape? Definitely, I'm all about it looking good as well as working good
Insert? No
Color/Paintfill? Yes, part of the looking good
Finish? Yes, part of the looking good
Etc? I'm also about how it feels in weight in my hand
Have you ever bought a putter without trying it? No way!
Have you ever been fit for a putter? Yes Are you playing the right weight, lie angle, offset, etc? Not at the moment, my fit putter and I are having a lover's spat (i.e. I'm 3 putting everything with it right now.) It's mental, not the putter but I'm a golfer so...it's taking a break right now.
Are you brand loyal? Sorta, I'm pretty much in love with Rife If so why, and how did you become brand loyal? I love the feel of their putters and, current situation with my Rife not withstanding, they seem to be really rock solid putters.
Do you think technology has been added to putters? I don't know. I've switched back to a 35 year old putter and it is dropping everything right now Do you think it helps? I think maybe materials have helped a little in regards to feel.
I know this is a lot of questions and hopefully some will take the time to summarize what FIRST draws them into a putter.
To summarize, for me it is look that makes me pick it up to begin with and then it is feel that makes me buy it
