  WGT:

   I just purchased the new Taylor Made putter. With all due respect, I can tell that the distance power is weaker than my Tour Starter putter.  What I mean, specifically is this: I am finding now that all putts require me to bring the swing meter further out to the left as compared to my Tour Starter putter.   Now I have to adjust and re-learn all distances that I have learned using the Tour Starter putter.

  Could we PLEASE have either: 1) a trial period with a new product, or 2) a trade back system if we find we don't like a  product we buy?  I feel that I wasted 4.00 on this new putter (hoping it would be an upgrade but now won't use because I am too used to my Tour Starter putter distance control. 

  I never thought buying a new putter would equate to time spent in all this distance re-learning. 

   

  Thanks, Futures (player eager to continue to purhcase and upgrade)

  Also, change is good.  You gotta give it more time to get accustomed too it.  I have the Ping Anser and I'm still adjusting to a 15ft meter as well.  These putters are miles ahead of the Tour Starter, don't give up just yet.

  I am too used to my Tour Starter putter distance control.  You will be ten times better with the new putter when you use it a week!
