The L33+Odyssey , has more balance and forgiveness than the 51+ Nike . Thats what you want , for missing the ding putts . Once you get the Odyssey , you wont look back .

Why are you missing the ding?

Are you playing to miss the ding or does it just happen?

Look real close at the putters and the feet meters. Find one you feel comfortable with and stay with it. Putters are different as far as avatar movements go too.

I think the nike lvl51 has 5 movements and the lvl35 taylor made ghost spider has 6 movements.

Some people can adjust just fine to the difference and some can't so take that into consideration.

Be careful! Your "I miss the ding quite a lot" comment has, I think, mislead some folks here.

There are two main methods of putting here.

1. Aiming off - where you move the aim marker to allow for the slope of the green. For this putters with high forgiveness are great as it will often adjust when you accidentally miss the ding. The Nike and Odyssey putters work well in this category.

2. Miss ding putting - where you leave the aim marker where it is and deliberately click early or late to allow for the slope of the green. For this type of putting putters with low forgiveness are best as they won't compensate for your deliberate miss. Of these types the Taylormade Daytona (Rossa) is one of the most used (it's also very cheap and very old) the Ping redwoods also come recommended.
