  What about the low level versa , is that one slower than the lvl 70 ?

  or are they both the same ? 

  can´t decide between that lvl 33 versa  and the nike lvl 51 ?

  I am a ding putter.

  Well , I am not convinced.

  I have the Nike L77 Method, and I ain't see nothing better or slower especially when I am on the 10 foot scale.

  Don't believe me, then play me.

  You sound way more confident than you should be.

  Huh ? what is that supposed to mean.

  If you are another one of those people who looks at stats just to make a snarky comment, then bare in mind I have only had this putter since late March. Before that I was using the 'Beginner'

  I have the L70 Versa and the Rossa, and the Versa is definitely slower for me. I hope they do not make the Versa any slower... I would be tempted to go make a snack while waiting and likely forget I was putting ;)

  I love the Versa. I am a "try to hit the ding" putter. Hands-down prefer it to the Rossa.

  Any chance you can put up some timings there Kitty? Just to compare them with mine. Or anybody else who has the level 70 Odyssey and the level 55 Rossa. Cheers.

  I do not own a stopwatch, and do not have a utility to use. I suppose i could look for one, record each, and then time them. I will try to figure out how to edit Twitch TV recordings, and then splice the two putter uses into a single Youtube so they can be seen being used. 

  Using the clock in Win7, on the 15ft inc, the Rossa took just over 2 seconds to get to the Ding line, and the Versa L70 took nearly 3 seconds. I would guess the Versa takes about .4 to .7 seconds longer to travel the entire meter length.

  I use the smallest increment possible, and even with a shorter throw the speed is obviously slower for the Versa. I was fine with the Rossa's speed.

  Thanks Kitty. Just in case you didnt know, and you own a mobile phone, there should be a stopwatch feature on there. Thanks for getting back on this.

  LOL! Never even thought about that. Still trying to figure out how to edit videos from Twitch TV. Oh- and I do not play in fullscreen mode (IME, fullscreen mode alters meter length and speed compared to non-fullscreen, even if you stretch the browser window to fill the screen).

  Thats Ok Kitty. I would just be looking at the variance of the speeds for these putts. As you can see from mine, they are almost identical, despite the advertised speed on the Odyssey showing it as half the speed.

  Now, maybe half the speed as advertised does not equal an actual half speed, if you know what i mean, and is only to show that the meter is slower. But im more interested in finding out what everyone else is getting in the difference. Thanks again.
