just my two cents.....
I just bought the Redwood several days ago. Moved up from the spyder. Used it for 4 days and played over 20 ranked rounds with quite a few practice rounds thrown in.
My scores rose like an elevator on steroids. The precision is nice....but the killer for me is the increase in meter speed and the lack of ability to consistently ding the putt. Made no difference if I was 30 feet or 3 feet....the inability to "Ding" a putt caused my average to soar. After a final round at BethPage....(which I can consistently shoot 35) and carding a 42 after numerous 3 and 4 putts on 4 foot or less shots, I put the Redwood in the closet and broke out the old Spyder. My scores are now back to where they are supposed to be....hell, I just got paid for a 4th place finish in the Oakmont Ready-Go tourney.
My point is.....for some of us older players.....hitting the "ding" is the biggest challenge. We can read the green pretty good....judge the break....know the distance....but can't "ding" the putt so it takes a ride to God knows where.
I would suggest you rent the club before you buy. I have a 600 credit Redwood that I doubt I will ever use now....and hate the idea of selling it for 1/6th of it's cost.
The grass may look greener on the other side of the fences....but that's because they are using horse manure to fertilize it.
