It has been a rare occasion that I met a putter I didn't like. Heck, I change putters more often that I change underwear. I like mixing it up with different feels. Most of the time, though, I like the look of a nice clean 8802 style. If you like a heavy one, get the Golfsmith Snake Eyes black SV-1 (I think). I have it at 32.5" and there is still plenty of heft

One day in Minnesoooota, in August, Jerry was nice enough to give me a ride to the course we were playing. (Jerry is a great human being with a lovely family and friends like Kev Carter, Rodger Dodger and Lynn Blake as well as many others.) Anyway, he looks at my Bullseye Titleist 16 year old putter and says something like "you wanna try one of these?" and he opens his trunk to reveal an alien putter manufacturing company replete with ET look alikes cranking out putters as if they were trying to make quota prior to this week's Mayan Apocalypse!

I knew at that moment that I had a future selling putters out of my trunk if this teaching joint ever went south! LMAO!

Thanks HB. Maybe a stupid questions but... When you talk about a good grip and one that fits your grip, I know they feel a little different due to material etc. but when you say fits your grip are you suggesting getting a custom grip? Sorry for the stupid question... lol

Hey Slazman thanks for that. Very informative and something I had no idea about! I will keep this in mind, thanks.
