   Do any of the tour players use the old original Ping Putters, they are out there. I have two of my own, made in the 60’s. I bought them at the PGA at the NCR South course in Kettering, Ohio 1969. They are not the putters that were made in Scottsdale that made collectors to have brought some big money but I could never understand why. And I’m not asking,,, it is what it is. I am just saying to the players that can have any thing regardless of cost why do the Scotty Cameron / Ping knock offs bring so much money when they are not the original thing. Buy an old ping, they have the feel that the knock offs are trying to make, don’t get me wrong, those are good putters but they are seriously over priced, and not the real thing. I’m just saying that if you can afford to pay $500 for a knock off, find the old pings that were the original new thing and real thing in putters.

     That’s like saying if you’re going to drive a car, you should buy an old Model T, because they’re the first and original… Ansers were made from manganese bronze (apart from a few brass prototypes), these might have felt OK with balata balls, but won’t feel as nice with modern balls. Modern putters milled from high-quality materials are more expensive for a reason, and the design has been modified and refined to suit a far wider range of players wants and needs.
     But no matter how many times you call Camerons “knock offs”, you’re not going to hurt their business. They have every right to make any such putter, as the patents are long, long expired. By such standards, even the Ford Model T was a knock-off of a knock-off, old Henry being 100 years late to that party.

       Well said JT. I agree the Answer and Dale Heads look awesome as originals. But they play like a hammer on the green. Zero touch. Sure Scotty made millions from biting off designs and pretty much any of his own bombed, but its history. What makes his putters so valuable is how many majors his brand has won let alone competitions in the thousands. But then again why are TJ amd I even bothering to answer this. Nothing we say can help ignorance. Maybe this will help. HOT product = big sales = want over need= higher price tags.

     And one of the best wedge players on tour, especially with distance control. Sometimes less is more.

     He uses the clock system for in between shots. Keep in mind that a pro’s set makeup can change from week to week depending on the course, conditions, etc… That is one of the things determined during practice rounds. The next week, he may carry 52, 56, 60. Drop the 19 degree fairway for a 2 iron, etc…

   The putter he was shown using was definitely not the model in the photo. If you are the face of the Taylormade brand then you too can get them to make it any way you want it. Plus it looked like a Winn putter grip not a Super Stroke. I agree, at least show the actual club used not a stock photo

     Sorry my fat fingers accidentally press report. DJ’s driver loft is set higher than average because his AoA in around -2 or -3. So he is in effect de lofting the driver to 8 or 9 degree in left.

       I’ve read in a few different places that DJ’s AoA is actually +2/+3 (not negative). E.g. here’s one: http://www.pgatour.com/long-form/2017/03/28/dj-and-his-driver.html

     Uuummmm, no. Most fade, weight to toe. Weight was set in center pretty much.

   You can’t set that driver to 11. It goes to 11.25. Unless he is using the SLDR 1.5 degree adapter.

     Its a Tour Issue head Boss. It could be 10.25*, could be 10.0 but says “10.5” on it. Then Greg sees its ratcheted up to 11* but we have to assume wince its not retail its not actually 11*, right? You guys all have to remember that its also open faced by 1-2*. This means when the body and eye square that face at impact its delofting, regardless of his launch. Maybe someone who understands physics can give a better explanation but there is a lot going on with these set ups and Tour Issue gear. It’s why track man is used, the big vans follow them every week with the huge contracts. I bet DJ doesn’t even know what friggen loft is set at. He certainl didn’t know what grip was added on to his Tour Spider when asked about it.
