  Who am I kidding? lol,  I'll end up getting it. I'll just have to off set the cost with cheaper balls.   Here are some stats of my last round with the L13 "Yellow" Srixon.

  It was the putting that kept me from going well under 60.  It was that one dot of precision that did it I tell you.  ;-)

  I am a big miss ding putter.  And the 

  Daytona Putter 2011 (L55+)

  Is the best I think for a miss ding putter.  Have found with the low forgiveness helps with your miss ding putting.  Had the versa, put just did not like it compared to the 

  Daytona Putter 2011 (L55+)

  In fact got frustrated with the versa and bought this putter, very cheap 750 credits.   And Boom more putts were going in.

  I am not sure what is really the best putter, but I guess my question is, has putting really changed?  I have seen so many lipouts and short putts lately and quite honestly, if it is a 10 foot putt on tournament speed greens and the ball is struck for 8 feet, why does it come up short on a level putt?  Or better yet, with Championship greens, a putt that says 9.2 is hit for 8 to compensate for a very slight break, and the ball stops on the lip of the cup.

  I don't think changing the putter will cure those symptoms.

  BtB's comments impress me, there is someone who isn't going overboard about the Lvl96 Versa, but just saying it is better than what he had before.

  That is all I need to know.

  I agree with the lip-outs and misses from 10 feet and under. It seems like since the new putters came out the putting has become more difficult. I use the level 77 Nike and have done well with it but the last two weeks or so,  something seems to have definitely changed for the worse.

  I think WGT have changed the holes recently, just have a closer look.

  Actually, I can see that logic, disappointing as it is, but yes, the new putters cost us a fortune but they are better and our putters are virtually extinct in terms of getting the best results.

  So WGT is ripping us off in a subtle way, but nonetheless , they are ripping us off.

  I don't like it.

  Any evidence to the contrary  and I'd like to see it.

  Watch my score history go down the pan in the next few days.

  I actually bought the level 70 Odyssey putter, but its just sitting in the garage right now. I played and played with the bugger, but it was a big waste of money. Im of the opinion now that i wont be buying any more clubs in the game anymore. Every time i buy something supposedly bigger and better, it just goes down the pan and doesnt do what i expect, even with weeks and weeks of practice with it. Once bitten, twice shy.
