  but it is a ding putter

  Disagree that the L70 insists on this (vid above and others I have missing way more and doing OK works for me).......That said last few rounds I have been HACK CENTRAL but golf I guess even if is virtual:)

  DDRoss1:

  the 96 would be worse

  L96 IMHO designed to be dinged,  Veer much of that and you are against the grain.

  Jim i like the 70 better than ghosts i was using, but it is a ding putter, and if what i am reading is true, the 96 would be worse. Just asking cuz i am still a hack legend LOL.. thanks Jim

  LMAO. Hack, huh? Seen your game.  :-P

  On the putter, IMO you have it backwards. I can't speak for the 70 Versa but I can speak to the dinging bit. The 92 Ghost is strictly that-ding or miss. You just can't steer the putt by missing. The 96 Versa is deadly with the ding, just like the Ghost, BUT you don't get hosed on barely missed dings plus you CAN steer the putt by missing. The balance of the putters is what makes a difference.

  I have a personal theory that WGT saw how many Rossa users were happy clams with that putter and weren't going to give it up. That's when the Versa showed up as a souped-up Rossa. Better Precision and Balance but with the same "steerability." Switching to it myself really showed the difference because I had the 92 Ghost from the day it came out and swore by it, knew it backwards and forwards. I'd say the improvement with the Versa for me was fairly dramatic.

  Hack....... Sheesh.  :-D
