Ghost Putter

  I'm a rubbish putter. Anyone who's ever played me will tell you that.

  The Daytona and I have enjoyed a very stormy relationship for a couple of years now. It seems to take great delight in messing with my head. All over me one minute, showering me with affection, catering for my every whim etc, then mocking me unmercifully, laughing at me behind my back and making me feel totally inadequate in front of my friends the next. It's been a very cruel mistress.

  I've been stuck on level 91 for what seems like a lifetime, but should finally hit 92 in a week or so.

  The Ghost putter has been fluttering its eye lashes at me in a 'come hither' way for months, and has recently started hitching its skirt up to reveal a tantalising glimpse of stocking top. 

  I'm sorely tempted, but at the best part of 25 quid I know I'll hate myself in the morning.

  Should I?

  Well I always got on pretty well with the Rossa, and even said on here that I'd never change. Anyway when the ghost came out with such amazing specs I thought I'd give it a go. At first I struggled to get to grips with the awkward scales, but I was determined to give it a fair try so stuck with it for a couple of months. Well I'm still using the Ghost but I don't really think it's any better than the Rossa, I just can't be bothered to relearn the other one. I don't think it's worth the money and I even doubt the specs claimed for it.

  Once you learn the awkward scale as Piz put it the level 92 Ghost Spider is an amazing putter. I have used the Daytona and both Redwoods and feel that the level 92 Ghost Spider is clearly a much better putter than any of the others. This is due to the higher forgiveness and balance. Where I feel it really shines is on slight miss hits to the low side of the hole that as often as not go in. With all the other putters a slight miss hit to the low side was a guaranteed miss. But if credits are an issue don't over look the level 66 Ghost spider having only 1/2 dot of precision less than the Level 92 and having the same precision as the Daytona with more forgiveness and balance. And at 1200 credits it costs 1/2 as much as the level 92 one does.

  not sure what I am going to say qualifies as "advice"... just sharing because you pretty much described my situation.

  I am creeping up on level 92 and frustrated w/ my putting/playing.  When the free rental weekend came up, I was a little annoyed not to be @ level 92 yet.  I used the "lower level" ghost putter and the R11 irons throughout the weekend.  

  I really thought the putter was my goal, but realized those irons were giving me much shorter putts than usual.

  I noticed your irons are a slow meter, and yes the r11's seem fast, but even my "misses" ended up better than most shots w/ my regular irons.

  so now I am walking the "survey streets"  hitching my skirt up to reveal a tantalizing glimpse of stocking top.

  Well said Paul - it's people like him that put me off posting on the forums these days.

  Such wit, such insight, such startling intellect.

  I don't think so.
