  This will be my putter tomorrow. I am an off-ding style putter, hardly ever move the aim marker, so I am hoping that will work with this one. Anyone have advice on how best to use this thing is welcome.

  John,

   

  If your an off-ding putter, stick with what you know.  The added forgiveness over the putter that you have will make your putts break quicker/sooner than you are expecting

  Wait a second... I have tried em both..  and if you can wait , I think you will be happier with the Level 92 Ghost Spyder putter.  I got this one before the level 84 putter came out and am happy as a pig in mud.  It has made me a better WGT golfer.  I tried the Level 84 putter during one of those free rental periods and conclude the the one I own is superior.  I am NOT an off ding player so I cannot offer any insight into that. Good luck with whatever you choose.

  Absolutely not. Don't even waste your time. That putter and the 92 version are ding putters and you will frustrate the daylights out of yourself. The amount you miss by now will at least be doubled, trying to do it with the Ghosts, and that really kills the accuracy.

  I have REALLY noticed that YJ, I just got the level 92 and much to my dismay, the dots of forgiveness don't add up to much if you miss the ding with it.  Even on short putts missing the ding will punish the user severely.   Very Ding dependent putter for sure.

  John, I would have to agree with YJ. I have the level 66 Ghost, and while I am not a complete 'off the ding' putter, I do use that technique on short (inside 7 feet) putts, and have not had any problems with the extra forgiveness causing me to miss a putt. Thus far I have had no issues with the 66 Ghost, it works just as well as my trusty level 19 Spider for my style of putting.
