Lesthanpar: in my opinion the newest latest and greatest more costly equipment will perform slightly better even with the same specs. Call me crazy, tin foil hat on backwards lol.
Lol, somehow I don't feel the need and I do admire your honesty, I just think you're wrong.
Lets look at it; wgt have the Sabertooth probably the best performing putter that there's been. They bring out another, the Titleist thing, with the same visible attributes but at a slightly (can't remember how much but it was slightly I think) higher price.
You suggest that the Titleist one performs better but wgt are keeping quiet about this fact. Do you not think they would announce it in the loudest way possible if it were true? Thereby selling more stuff. Now if you were suggesting they worked a little bit less well I could see why wgt would want that kept quiet.
I reckon they work as wgt say they do, exactly the same. I don't think there's been a genuinely new club for about three years (maybe more). Certainly wgt won't mind a whispering campaign suggesting what you suggest and you're far from the only one to have done so. I honestly don't know (for sure) why some of the best scoring players on here have said this sort of thing, but they have. I doubt they'll have traded in their Sabertooths but I suppose it doesn't cost them anything if they do anyway.
The merger (?) with Callaway will be an explanation for some stuff.
Or maybe you and others are right, there's no spinning, and wgt are just being modest ;-)
