  If you are used to the increments of 15,25 50,100 etc. then the 66+ Ghost Spider would suit you perfectly. Its the putter I use and its only half a dot less in precision and balance than the 92+ GS.

  Get it or at least rent it and see the difference it will make. The meter speed is excellent and the forgiveness is very good. I use the missed ding method of putting and its perfect.

  I like the Nike, especially the scale, at 10 20 50 and 100 the math is very easy to figure.  was using the redwood prior and was happy with it until I used the Nike.

  WOW..Putters are expensive..Do you think they help your game

  According to your stats, you use your putter an average of 41 times per round -- more than all of your 13 other clubs, combined. Putting is not just an important part of the game, it IS the game, in a way. You're not going make too many pars or birdies without it.

  Nice treat. If you hit the ding. LOL..... Ok importend to have a good conection to you reflections, for shure. You can buy a putter with gold and diamands and you cant play better. Have "only the Anser from Ping made. Nice price and very good working.

  The most what you need , is the right feeling. My rounds are every more better, but its the way to understand the power here inside this game,  not the money you like to spend here.

  I have the lvl 66 ghost,excellent overall putter. some complain about the scales and gap between 50 &100 ft. I will tell you,I use the 100 ft. scale almost all the time,any putt between 8 & 25 ft. can be hit comfortably with this scale. Also any putter you buy is a  leap of faith,even if you rent it,24hrs. is NOT enough time to tell if a putter is right for you. Probably a minimum of 200 putts or more are needed to tell if a putter woks for you or not. I would say just go for it and buy the lvl. 66 ghost  especially if your used to the 15,25,50,100 150,ft. scales already.   GL.

  WOW..Putters are expensive..Do you think they help your game and what do u recommend?  Thanks

  I have tried most of them, including the top level Nike and the lower and mid level Ghost. Both good putters - the Legend you may aspire to be someday plays either the Rossa or the top level Ghost (with a smattering of Redwoods). The Rossa is a bargain and it is deadly once you learn it - a few days ago, I drained 9 putts in a row on SA front for 27 - from all sorts of distances. Case closed.

  Any more input on the Method?

  I got it the day it came out - and used it for a good while. My game did NOT improve over the mid level Ghost, in fact it might have suffered a bit. Frankly the meter is too slow, the precision over rated, and while I like the 10 ft lower scale, it defaulted too often to the 20 ft. scale and also you had to remember to hit really HARD on short putts. I then gave the Rossa a chance. Maybe when I get to level 92 I will try the top Ghost. But the Rossa I will never sell.

  For Master's weekend, I'm starting with the Method and thus far, I'm not impressed.  The meter difference between the Spider seems like quite a bit more and the scale is throwing me off - but those are both adjustable.  I'm trying to determine whether the other stats are helping with putting (precision/forgiveness).

  I'll probably rent the Rossa and/or Redwood to see how they are.  We'll see how much a couple days with each leaves for an impression.
