  This is the story of the King's new clothes: Now there was once a king who was absolutely insane about new clothes and one day, two swindlers came to sell him what they said was a magic suit of clothes. Now, they held up this particular garment and they said, "Your Majesty, this is a magic suit

  ." Well, the truth of the matter is, there was no suit there at all. But the swindlers were very smart, and they said, "Your Majesty, to a wise man this is a beautiful raiment but to a fool it is absolutely invisible." Naturally, the King not wanting to appear a fool, said, "Isn't it grand! Isn't it fine! Look at the cut, the style, the line!

  The suit of clothes is all together But all together it's all together The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen. These eyes of mine at once determined The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.

  Somebody send for the Queen." Well they sent for the Queen and they quickly explained to her about the magic suit of clothes. And naturally, the Queen not wanting to appear a fool, said, "Well, isn't it oh! Isn't it rich! Look at the charm of every stitch! The suit of clothes is all together But all together it's all together The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.

  These eyes of mine at once determined The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green. Summon the court to convene." Well the court convened, and you never saw in your life as many people as were at that court. All the ambassadors, the dukes, the earls, the counts, it was just black with people, and they were all told about the magic suit of clothes.

  And after they were told they naturally didn't want to appear fools and they said, "Isn't it ohhh! Isn't it ahhh! Isn't it absolutely wheee(whistle sound)! The suit of clothes is all together But all together it's all together The most remarkable suit of clothes a tailor ever made. Now quickly, put it all together With gloves of leather and hat and feather It's all together the thing to wear in Saturday's parade.

  Leading the royal brigade." Now Saturday came and the streets were just lined with thousands, and thousands, and thousands of people, and they all were cheering as the artillery came by, the infantry marched by, the cavalry galloped by. And everybody was cheering like mad, except one little boy.

  You see, he hadn't heard about the magic suit and didn't know what he was supposed to see. Well, as the King came by the little boy looked and, horrified, said, "Look at the King! Look at the the King! Look at the King, the King, the King! The King is in the all together But all together the all together He's all together as naked as the day that he was born. The King is in the all together But all together the all together It's all together the very least the King has ever worn." All the courts positioned to call an intermission His majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn The King is in the all together But all together the all together He's all together as naked as the day that he was born. And it's all together too chilly a morn!

   

  To cut a long story short, you can either putt, or you can't.

  If you can read greens, the beginner is fine, if you can't, the premium putters are going to land you in a whole heap of trouble. (but the stats look good in the pro shop :)))

  I played a round with beginner putter, the precision is useless, 5 foot putts would go wide of hole, you wouldn't see the pros use a stick on the greens just because they can read the greens (apart from Miguel Iminez who putted better with a wedge in Dubai LOL)

  i AM a fan of the ghost.  Ive  have confidence it rolls VERY true if my read is accurate.    Putts longer than 3ft, I  move the arrow and try to ding, inside I play the early/late ding to make the putts.  I also feel like the ghost is most forgiving putter when missing ding which is why I don't think the early/late clickers like it as much as redwood.

  If Im really struggling with hitting ding, I will drop back to Rossa or even the beginner putter.  All of them will sink putts if your read and execution is accurate.

  LMAO-That's the putter you use for those invisible breaks!  :-D

   

  p.s., Best putter on this site-the Ghost.  ;-)

   With a putting average of 1.58...what the hell do you know about putting, and thinking the ghost putter is the best...just proves your all mouth and no pants.

  For me personally, daytona is miles ahead of the ghost.   Daytona is more than precise enough.  Sacrificing anything in 'dingability' for small increase in precision doesn't seem to be worthwhile. 

  fwiw i haven't hit a single putt with the ghost.  9 holes with the fast meter 2010 redwood was enough of a trial for me (waste of 1000 credits or whatever it was).

  In conclusion, daytona ftw!

  Finally some sound advise from a top player...btw i was looking to buy the ghost putter but after checking what all the top players were using i changed my mind.

  Strange, you seem to have a putting average of 1.58 as well.

  Putters are like wedges they are a personal preference.  It is what ever you are comfortable with.

  This ^^. For me it's the Ghost. The avatar move method takes the meter speed out of play. :-)

  Incidentally, there are more so-so golfers like me here than there are top notchers like Bollux. Those top notchers don't need anything I say, they've already mastered it. But for those that haven't what I opine is directed towards them in hopes it will help them get to that top notch, or at least answer a few questions on their way. It comes from taking the time to understand and practice so to share the knowledge.

  Daytona for me.

  I rarely need to hit ding unless it's a very straight on putt.

  I don't move the aim arrow, I just miss left or right of ding, so the last thing I need is a faster meter speed, especially on them tricky putts.

  Bought the redwood, sold the redwood a day later....as for the ghost...it looks like a fish slice and the faster meter don't float my boat.

  But if it works for folks, then that's all that matters.
