You should do a blind putter test and try to guess which is more expensive based on how it feels when you putt. It’s a great way to remove any visual bias towards clubs and takes looks out of the equation

Rick, I wish I never found your channel.. I spent close to 3 hours watching your videos today! Joking aside, thanks very much and they make me want to play more golf. I finally got fitted so it's been interesting to watch these to learn more. My 8 year old son can't get enough golf, so these have been helpful on a number of levels. It's super enjoyable to watch you. Well done!

I bought the odessy o-works a couple years back after I watched your initial review on them and absolutely love it.

When I started golf I had a Ram G Force golf set. It was only about €200 for the whole set, and although I have moved on from the set long ago I actually still ise the putter I had in the bag. I never tested a putter that gave me so much confidence behind the ball and alghough it has no fancy cover or weight system, it is utterly amazing.

Love the channel Rick! I’ve just started in the game and I’ve learned a lot and made my game better by watching your tip videos. Keep up the good work!

Think you've proved that it's about the individual persons feel with the club rather than just the look of it. I couldn't choose one until I've putted with them and make a choice on what gives me the most confidence addressing the putt.

I love how personal putters can be. It matters a little bit on the tech, but what matters most is that you just like what you’re using. It’s nothing like drivers, wedges, or irons. You could have a wood putter and if you like how it feels then that will work for you just as well as a 500 custom putter

The gravity grip is one of the best out there! Love that even roll

After 60 years at this game, I believe quality, up to a point, translates to performance. Particularly in terms of longevity of the equipment and consistency from club to club. I have a 20 year old Taylormade B1 Nubbins putter that keeps me around 30 putts a round give or take a couple. Being able read greens and adjust to speed are more critical than the club itself, but the factors all need to work in unison. I like this video because it's fun AND informative. Keep them coming Mr. Shiels.

When I started playing golf I started off with an original rainbow 5 putter. Eventually I got a Ping Anser 2 putter. No inserts, smooth face. Certainly not a great deal of detail in the casting. It literally had the address put on the cavity on the back of the putter. I have been using it for about 20 years now because once I learned how to put, no amount of rubber inserts, white dots on the club or artisan etching or grooves on the putter face would make my ball roll any straighter. Its not the canvas, it's the artist.

I recently got a nice expensive ping putter and gave my friend my old beat up odyssey. He putts way better than me...with my old putter!

That one putter is more expensive than my whole set

Hi Rick. LOVE your videos! I've learned a lot from you. Last year, I switched to an Odyssey White Hot Rx fang putter and I love it!! I tried a bunch of putters at the golf shop and that one just felt really good to me. Once I got it on the course, my confidence seemed to go way up while putting with it. I definitely agree with going with the putter that feels best to you.

Great work Rick! Now using a spider x after having a Ping G2i for years. I had a £100 taylormade last year used it 4 times and sold it. The difference between that and the spider is immense to me. My putting this year is so much better again. Probably 80% me and 20% club in reality, but weight, looks & feel seem amplified on the putter compared to other clubs for me.

Playing a Cleveland Classic #1 from a few years ago. Costed me about 150€ at the time. I initially wanted a Scotty, but tried a bunch of other putter 'cause why not. And walked out of the shop with the much cheaper and (to me) better feeling alternative. I've replaced the head cover, which indeed was showing some signs of decrepitude after four or five year. Other than that... it looks, close up, much closer to the Mizuno than to the Odyssey in your video despite the price being the other way round.

I have been loving my Scotty Cameron Newport 2 for about 4 months now. But it was quite spendy to obtain...however, I don't plan on ever buying another putter for life.

I think that little extra quality can turn into confidence and confidence can turn into that little bit extra performance... just my two cents. I have a very strong attachment to my Evnroll ER1.2, love that putter! The first time I decided I was ready to start gaming it was a captains choice tournament and I honestly holed 6 putts in the 12-15 foot range, best show of putting I have ever put on.

I have been using an Odyssey EXO 7s for a while now and I love it. I have had more expensive putters as well as some el cheapo putters, but this one is by far my favorite.

I’ll take the odyssey o works anyday.. the micro hinge makes it feel so even and the most consistent in my books

I absolutely love my Odyssey Stroke Lab double wide. Never had a putter feel better in my hands. The sound and feel of it are very confidence inspiring for me and I think that's a big part of putting for a lot of us. I'd love to hear your thoughts on mixed material putter shafts vs traditional all steel ones.

Thank you for sharing. This is my 2 nd year playing golf. I started with a beginners set of clubs I brought for $300 U S dollars. I was wondering if I needed a new putter. After watching your video I decided I needed more practice not a new putter LOL

When it comes to putting, regardless of the price of the putter you are using; you have days when you can’t miss a putt; and, you have days when you can’t sink a putt! Anyone who thinks that it is the putter that does the putting is nuts! It is amazing that putters you are trying always seem to work well until you buy one!

I putt best when I know I can afford the gas bill,council tax, green fee and a few pints in the 19th. I'll take the £10 one all day 😂

that putt you were hitting look like it broke both ways and wasn't consistant at all

Been using Edel putter for 3 seasons now best club fitting I’ve ever had proof of performance on the day Would love to see you going through that process

Just picked up the er7 in black after saving up for the last 3 month and it's fantastic. Gives me so much confidence over the ball and it looks and rolls so true. Went in for a scotty but this just felt so much nicer and fitted my stroke so much better than any of the scotty's

I gave myself a dollar every time you hit the bottom of the putter with your hand....I’m now a millionaire.

Holy crap!! Thank you SO much for this review! I have been eyeballing the Odyssey O-Works putter for months! I might have to buy it for my birthday...!

Rick ur videos have saved me so much money! You got my golf bag balling on a budget!

I play a Mizuno M Craft IV in blue, and after I messed around with the weight kit I find it's a wonderful piece of kit, it's the most I have EVER spent on a putter but I also just love the fact that this actual putter just sits behind the ball and doesn't go toe heavy like most blade type putters.....won't change this one....

I recently brought this odyssey putter. I’m a serious amateur and it’s a upgrade from my non branded golf set. I’m very comfortable with it. Feels great.

I’m currently using a 2010 Taylormade Rossa Ghost Corza putter but looking to get something newer. This video has definitely made me think differently about cost and feel. I’m interested to test the Odyssey for myself now! Good insight Rick!

I just started playing a Ray Cook Silver Ray $59 (Spider clone). Love it. Putters are all about confidence and practice. Truly a club that the tech doesn’t really matter that much on

Great video Rick, an eye opener in terms of quality and cost. I use a Taylor Made Spider Mallet Putter. I have got 3 other putters, centre shafted and heel shafted, toe hang and centre balanced. They all baffle me, perhaps a video on what all these things do and how they can affect putting! Hmmmmmm, food for thought, maybe?

Great video! I have a few Cameron’s as well as the same Evnroll tested only in silver. I like it but I have switched the Directed Force 2.1 mallet and it has greatly improved my putting. It literally took 2 strokes off my handicap (from a 5.9 to a 3.9). It’s the only “technology” that has worked for me. I would love to see you test it and see if it helps you as much as it helped me.

I played an Odyssey Two Ball for about 10 years and now my Tank #7 for 7 years. Love it!

You are fantastic at your craft. Keep producing high quality videos!

Another amazing video as always. You should do the same type of comparison with wedges to see it affects spin/ distance.
