New Rossa Putter

  Can I ask, why doesn't WGT bring out a new high level Rossa putter with similar stats to the top ghost spider? The Rossa is still very popular and I think that many of the players that haven't gone over to the spider might be cause of the increments, well that's why I haven't anyway.

  I don't use the 15 yrd as I'm so used to the 30. So it would be nice to see a better 1 (with the same or slower meter) with the same meter increments. 

  Anyone else out there that would be interested in a putter like this?

  Very Interested!  

  The Rossa was the first putter I got and I agree with the Increments, 15,30,60 is much easier than the Spider.

  Well, TaylorMade doesn't make the Rossa anymore... so they aren't interested in selling more real ones. That doesn't mean they couldn't come out with another model with similar specs, though. (I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the Rossa like the Z Satins)

  Just saw that, I see they currently have the Ghost Manta, Ghost tour and Ghost white smoke, so maybe they could use 1 of those? Hell, they can call it the Ghost tooth-fairy.

  You are right though, if the do bring a new 1 out with the same increments as the Rossa, it will have to be one of their others.

  What's wrong with the current one???  Or is it that you want to score a sub-45 round.  The clubs need to get worse, not better!  Make the game more realistic, because at the moment it's a total farce.

  OMG, stop crying already. I never said that there was anything wrong with the old 1, just that an extra dot here and there might be nice. They can make a putter that's got full dots for everything but at the end of the day YOU still have to get the ball in the hole.

  I'm not asking for 1 that will work the putt out for me and putt on it's own. So instead of moaning about everything, try come up with something constructive.

  I've come up with something very constructive - make the clubs weaker than they are and make it more of a player skill game!!!

  You use the same clubs as the top guys, so why aren't you shooting the same scores? If you're concerned that the game is too easy for you, why not just downgrade your clubs to give yourself more of a challenge...?

  I'll tell you why....you're just bitter that you can't shoot the the same scores as these guys.

  Yes, there are players that shoot crazy scores, but you know what, they've put a lot of time into the game. Besides, it's about 1% of the total players that can actually manage those scores, so when we get to a stage where 50% of the players are doing it, then yes, WGT might need to look at ways to make the game harder.
