Putter Switch, not what you expect

i have been putting terrible with my odyssey 2 ball white steel, i cant make any short putts, and distance control is absolutely terrible... so i found an old blade putter, called a cup seeker... it is kinda like a SC bullseye, in the sense that it can be for a lefty or righty... this putter belonged to my grandmother, its that old...

well anyways, the head is rusted, the shaft is rusted, and the grip is crumbling, but i figured that i would give it a try in my round yesterday.. i took it to the practice putting green before the round, and was stroking the ball so well... i could actually feel the ball leave the face, as with the odyssey it feels dull... i could tell when i hit it in the center, and when it was off center...

so i took it on the course, for the whole round... NO 3 PUTTS, for the first time in a longgg time!! i only missed 1 putt inside of 10 ft, and that was my birdie putt on 9(the hardest hole on the course i might add) from 7-8 feet...

i nailed a 35 footer on 3 for par, and made ~5 footers for par on 1, 2, 6, 7, and a 5 footer for bird on 8....

i bogied 4 after hitting the longest 6 iron i have ever hit on the par 3, probably ~190 yds... i was wayyy over the green, and hit a terrible chip to not even on the green in the fringe, but still almost sunk the putt...

bye bye odyssey 2 ball!! hello $5 1980's rusty trusty cupseeker blade!!

a new grip is going on today, right after my rac tp is reshafted...

good find man, once again proof that a more expensive club isn't always the best. especially with putters.

hit 'em well.

yeah gun, it came as a shock to me that i hit it that well, as it is not the most asthetically pleasing club... and you are certainly right about the putter statement, they are just soo personal, what works for one person, can be absolute crap for another...

i got the idea from both sean(on here), and one of my friends, who both switched to older blades... my friend had a SC futura that he putted decently with, but then tried out an old tommy armour blade, and fell in love...

With results like that, I wouldn't care what it looked like. I'm contemplating a switch myself, putting has been way off from last year. I may just switch back to my old putting grip, I've been working on the reverse overlap for months and it's just not coming around.

I bought a 2 ball this winter and I didn’t putt so good my first couple of rounds with it. I been playing my old reliable Tear Drop TD31 and the change has been drastic. I actually have a shot at making a 15ft and in put now. I tried 3 putters but I keep going back to the teardrop it is the best rolling putter I’ve owned.
