BluScoop Putter
Zax Golf's BlueScoop Putter is one of the new breed of "inertial" putters that shift the weight back from the face and in toward the centerline. This is supposed to keep the face from twisting during the stroke, promoting a straighter putt.
This one looks a lot like the Hogan putter used by Jim Furyk, right down the blue color theme, although I suppose this is related to the aluminum materials. Still, I like the look. They should send me one for a review.
Snake Eyes Strikeline ML Putter Review
Since thegolf season in Michigan is coming to an end, I thought I'd dedicate this week to reviewing some of the equipment that I have made and used.
Snake Eyes Strike Line OL RH Putter Head
Grade: A+
I really haven't been in the market for a new putter for some years -- ever since I bought my Scotty Cameron. But this was an unusual design. So I thought I'd give it a try. I put in a standard steel putter shaft and cut it to 36 inches. It has a Lamkin pistol style cord grip.
After two rounds, the Cameron was in the shed.
This is, without a doubt, the best putter I've ever tried, and I've tried a lot. (I like to go to Golfsmith and spend an hour or two trying every putter on the rack). The extreme perimeter and backweighting provided by the curved steel bar keep the ball right on track. The center shaft allows me to get my head right over the ball, giving me a good view of the line.
When others have tried it, the first thing they notice is that its heavy -- really heavy. But I find that the weight encourages a smooth, shoulder driven stroke. No flipping the wrist with this brick
The wide bottom also helps. I never skid or stab with this club.
I dropped my handicap three points this summer, and I'm sure it's due mostly to my putting -- especially since my swing has gone south for the last month or so. I'm confident that if I get the ball anywhere on the green, I'm one -- at worse two putts away from the hole. Others at my club have commented on what a deadly accurate putter I am.
I don't tell them the secret.
Scotty Cameron Red X
I’ve got a Scotty Cameron Newport Putter. It’s probably the best “feeling” putter I’ve ever used. Unfortunately, I find that I putt more accurately with a mallet.
Now Cameron may have solved my problem. The new Cameron Red X and X2 have stainless steel bodies, an elastonomer insert and an aluminum sole plate for precise weighting. The X has a single bend shaft. The X2, a straight shaft and three red dots on the club head behind the shaft to aid in head setup.
They’ll be out in June. I can’t wait to try them.
