I'm now a Putter ho... Help!

So I haven't bought a club in a little while.. I've tried to avoid doing so, and to be honest, I really can't think of anything I needed other than wanting to get a 22* hybrid to give a shot with.

But putters, seem like I can't get enough.. I wanted the Rife Bimini. I found one, and putted for 20 minutes with it at the store. I couldn't drop SHIT! I was probably 3 out of 10 with it from 15/20 ft. I would might high and low all the time, but it did have fantastic speed control.

Tried a SC Squareback.. Junk. Absolutely junk. Perfect length, and looked great, but holy crap, I've got a $10 wilson at the house that blows it out the water. It was hard and harsh when you hit it. Speed control was.. absent. It was garbage, and I wanted to buy it too, it was a demo, and was $199 bucks, which wasn't bad!

I tried the Rife Abaco. It was MUCH better than the Bimini, but I just realized I can't use a heel shafted putter. I don't have a pronounced arcing putting line. I'm closer to straight back, instead of gated. So while it was nice, it was just too light feeling, and I would miss high with it alot.


So I tried the SeeMore's... I have a tour issued sightline free m5 mallet. But it's 33 inches, and it goes hot and cold for me sometimes. I feel like it's a tad too short too. That, and I kinda like atleast one sight line. This thing is perfectly clean from the top line.

I like blade putters, so I got on eBay, a tour issue prototype m1 from a fellow in GA.. Has a sightline, 350 gram milled blade. 34 inches, 71*.. Perfect for me.

So now I'm a putter hoe. I have 5 putters, and can only use 1 at a time. I have 2 tour issue seemore putters, that I have no business having!




I need to stop, really.
