Last week I managed to ‘Juice‘ my balls within a whisker of the Longest Drive. Unfortunately I fell short by a few feet and there are no prizes for coming second. Despite this, I’m very pleased with the Nike Juice, and will continue to use the ball, as it seems like a good compromise for price/performance.

Over the last couple of weeks it has occurred to me that my putting doesn’t seem to have improved much. In fact, I seem to be sinking fewer of those satisfying, long putts than I did six months ago. Given that the Putter is the most widely used club in the bag, then this is a worrying trend.

As an exercise I reverted back to my old blade putter, rather than the 2-ball, Odyssey, I currently use. There was an immediate improvement, and I began to rediscover the joys of putting again. I can only put this down to greater touch and feel on the green, which the blade offers.

I’m still considering a Scotty Cameron and out of interest I checked Ebay. I was immediately shocked to find a Scotty with a starting price of $1,900. Now, I know that these putters can command high prices, but I still find it difficult to reconcile that you can spend this much on one club.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, if anyone has any recommendations for a great (blade) Putter, around the $200 range, then I’d be very interested to hear.
