    I love the two new putters released today, but I think WGT is missing a trick. Why not offer every putter with a choice of increments - the 15ft increments for those that are used to the Daytona and use avatar movements, and decimal increments (like the Max Master) for those that like to gauge power by eye and find dividing into 10 more intuitive.

    I'd have probably bought twice as many putters on the way up the levels if it weren't for the fact that I don't like the 15ft scales. So WGT have missed out on selling me the Ghost Spider, the previous higher level Versa, and the new Versa.

    It would double the choice in the pro shop with out having to release or design any new equipment - it really ought to be a no-brainer.

    You are an elite player so wonder what you see in the new Nike that say the L77 never had to offer in the actuality of a normal round.

    Congratulations on your placement in the monies order of merit btw:)

    The extra half dot of precision is noticeable. With 4 dots, you will get the occasional putt that seems to deviate off line straight of the putter face, enough to cause a couple of lipouts a day on fairly short straight putts. With 4.5 dots I have yet to see this happen. Probably not worth the credits for most players, but an extra place up the leaderboard in just a couple of RGs a day and it's paid for itself in no time.
