  15,30,60,100,150,300 on the new Nike putter,,REALLY?????...dumb idea WGT,,i use the older version with the 10,20,50,100 increments and love it,once a player gets certain increments dialed in we really don't want to change,,most of us who are used to those increments won't be buying this putter, a shame too if you hadn't messed with the increments and left them at 10,20,50,100 etc etc. this new putter would already be in my bag but i wont be trying to adjust to something different when i've been used to the 10,20,50,100 increments for years and have them fairly dialed in now......a better idea would be to make all putters universal and let the buyer decide which increments they want but i guess that would be to difficult to program "NOT"..

  Depends on what putters you have played...my first putter was the 2010 Redwood...15/30/60...the Rossa-same, the Odyessy? I have now..same..and this new one out would be up my alley as well.

   

  Although the suggestion has merit...(ability to change scales readings), I'd think it would be in WGT's best interest to just offer it both ways..two different clubs.

  Rather ingenious, I'd say. The change to those scales gets the attention of the 96 Versa owners as it has the same increments

  That may be true Jim but it will put Nike Method users off buying it.

  I won't even rent it on a free weekend.

  i hope it wont   happen but i wonder what the powers at WGT would do if the winner of the coming USA open used the focus boost for both rounds and won it.

  New Nike putter with 15/30/60 etc

  ^^ fookin stupid idea....3 lower level Nikes with 10, 20, 50 etc, no other brand putter where the BEST one suddenly changes increments ? WGT PLEBS !!!

  Andy

  ^^ still, with time to ruminate..

  Maybe a $$ decision Jim but..

  The 15 / 30 increment users have had the REAL top end putter for time now AND more choice ?

  Maybe they had me in mind?  lol

   

  Wanted to go back to the L96 versa but was holding out for something new.  Voila, a new putter with the increments I prefer lol.  But it will only be put in my bag for use if I get super lucky in some free credit offers or get the motivation again to power through vids and surveys.  Or if I receive a really cool gift.  ;-)

   

  Same goes for the new R1 driver,  lots of credits for so little advantage and I think the slower meter would be more of a disadvantage being that the meter is so much slower than the rest of the bag.

  IF they ( WGT ) bring the new Nike out by the end of the week in its USUAL increments, THEN.....

  ( I'm fookin years of it being available to me but, the sheer idiocy amazed me !, don't play so much nowadays because of this kind of customer consideration )

  .... I'LL send you the new putter H.

  Work that 'yellow' magic for the Nike Boys ;-)

  Can you tell if an opponent is using Focus Boost?

  You can try it once and see if it shows in your activity, like when you buy anything else.

  4 player game and nobody could tell I used it. Stealth cheat.

  (missed my putt anyway!)

  Hi All,

  Thank you very much for the feedback. For those concerned about the distance increments for the new Nike putter, there will be another version released in a future update with the 10/20/50 increments. Thank you.

  All the Best,
  WGTShamWow

  Can you make that Invite Friends sign any brighter? How about black and yellow with a fast flash? :-)
