Well my last experience was NOT a good one in that area, and I had bought 3 putters from them at one point. IMO, they lost sight of some things.

I sold all of mine off and haven't looked back, I don't have time for spotty CS. Hopefully they have gotten better there.
After I get fit, I'm seriously pondering picking up a Piretti. The Forza and Matera really catch my eye, but they're all gorgeous. Just need to figure out my specs and what head style/toe hang I really ought to be playing first. I want to know that what I'm looking down at is the right fit for me, and I also want to love the look.
Regarding poor CS...what went wrong? And has anybody else experienced poor CS? I just wonder if it was an isolated incident or indicative of a trend and maybe I should be looking elsewhere.

Played my first round with my Piretti today and I really love rolling this thing.
The look at address is pretty much perfect and a really welcome change of pace from my clunker GoLo. I thought I would struggle severely switching to a blade from a mallet but if today was any indication that won't be an issue.

Glad your maiden voyage went well!Played my first round with my Piretti today and I really love rolling this thing.

Curt that thing is a work of art, and the best feeling putter I've ever rolled (even if I only rolled it once). I'm all but sold on a Piretti now, just have to get fitted for length/lie and figured out a headshape.
I have discovered the Piretti Demo and Used section, and the ponders are now in overdrive. The Cottonwood and Matera headshapes call to me...I know I need to be patient and get fitted first though.
You know, you really could have kept that portion of their site to yourself. Of course now we are expecting in-hand pictures of both.

Everything about this putter is awesome. The raised bumpers, the flow neck, and the finish.
LOVE IT!

I do love that putter. It's just pretty.
Haha I don't know about both, but one would be niceYou know, you really could have kept that portion of their site to yourself. Of course now we are expecting in-hand pictures of both.
And yeah...I've almost cursed myself for finding it! My wallet surely will not be pleased!
Thanks! I am absolutely smitten with this putter and I am rolling balls all over the house. Easily my favorite piece of golf equipment that I own.
The Matera is one that I thought long and hard about as the overall shape is really great, but I just didn't love the rounded design on the flange. The Potenza EXT is SICK and if I had more money laying around I'd grab it.

Piretti putters have been on the wish list for awhile now. Huge fan of the Potenza II.
That's the one thing I need to ponder, but the idea of mallet-y MOI in a blade like shape entices me. The Potenza is indeed sexy, I'm just not sure if there's enough meat on the bones for me though haha. Cottonwood is a similar look with a little longer flange, which makes me a little more confident.
I had a really good round today with the Piretti and drained a few 8-12 footers to save pars.
I don't know what it is but the feel is superb and it makes distance control really easy...I lagged a few from 50+ feet today to tap in range.
This beauty is such a pleasure to putt with.

Picked up a Cottonwood II to add to the rotation and replace the Scameron Newport I sold a while back.
This one is nothing special but it looks and feels really nice, and puts a great roll on the ball. The wider flange is a really confidence inspiring tweak to the Anser design.

It may be nothing "special", but it sure is a looker nonetheless. Great pickup!
As internet golfer as this is going to sound there is actually a pretty big difference in feel and sound between my carbon Potenza and my stainless Cottonwood. Most of it is probably the head shape differences but I think the metal plays a small role there too.
The Potenza has this really solid, soft, deep feel and sound to it and the Cottonwood has a much more audible and higher pitched tone to it. As far as I'm aware they both share the same deep milling pattern. Obviously all this feel/sound talk is 100% subjective but it took me by surprise a bit.
The Potenza is like a softer feeling GoLo and the Cottonwood is unlike any putter I've rolled before.

Stainless will almost always put off a more firm or sharp sound while the carbon is more dense in its traits which lowers the audible sound at impact and makes it feel 'softer'.
You aren't crazy, its how putters and their materials work. Also, the difference in stainless and carbon within the Piretti putters is one of the larger ones having owned a few of both.
It's nice to hear I'm not imagining things because the difference was a lot more noticeable than I would have predicted.
As far as the stainless Cottonwood II goes it's definitely not as soft feeling as a deep milled stainless Scameron. Note, it doesn't feel worse, it just doesn't feel as soft. I wonder if this is due to the different design with the wider flange or if it has more to do with how the putters/metals are made. Or maybe I'm just crazy after all haha.
How does the Kenny Giannini feel/sound compare in your experience Jman?
