Date: June 22nd, 2025 10:03 PM Author: Emerald Main People Funny you say that. I went to Roger Dunn specifically to try the Labs. Honestly, nothing special for me. If you take away the branding the aesthetic is crap in my opinion. And I’m not sure about the long-term prestige over a Scotty. I know a putter is mostly jewelry for a golfer but I’ve always been fine being understated and people that know, know about PLD Pings.
But mostly, I just didn’t like how the ball rolled with it. The Ping was a revelation in comparison. Had so much confidence in my line. And the all-black is beautiful imo. |

Date: June 22nd, 2025 10:21 PM Author: Smoky Concupiscible Theatre Halford I'm sorry but all of these new putters are ugly as fuck, Tiger still uses his same old one as far as I know so I don't see how you can justify expensive, ugly, and useless all at once (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742020&forum_id=2:#49041506) |

Date: June 22nd, 2025 10:27 PM Author: Emerald Main People I know man. I was using the one that came with my Costco set—an Odyssey Super Stroke. It was pretty good. Then I got CT1 sensors to screw into the back of my clubs and the Super Stroke grip didn’t work on them. I even fucking drilled into it to make them fit but after a few weeks, the sensors fell off. Then I still didn’t want to spend money on a new putter so I got it regripped with a grip that works with the sensors. And now the fucking thing is completely different, feels super light and shitty. So here we are. This is a once in a lifetime purchase for me, which ironically helps justify the higher cost. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742020&forum_id=2:#49041522) |

Date: June 23rd, 2025 12:36 PM Author: Ebony space Nice putter! I was considering that same PLD Batman, but got Oslo 3 with a USA flag laser etched on the sole
Did Roger Dunn have the new Spider Zero Torque to demo? Supposedly it's the fastest selling TM putter of all time and out of stock now until August
|
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 12:44 PM Author: Emerald Main People Thanks man! They actually did have that and it was good, but I think it's aggressively ugly so I didn't spend more than 30 seconds considering it.
Oslo 3 with a USA flag sounds sick as hell. That's 180 brother. |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 2:07 PM Author: Henna kitchen gunner lol have you ever even had under 40 putts in a round? just find a putter, any putter, and practice a lot with it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742020&forum_id=2:#49042969) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 12:55 PM Author: marvelous primrose crackhouse lettuce actually think that looks good and like it would be cr for alignment. i’ll stick with my ancient scotty though.
btw you should try lead tape under the grip of your odyssey if you want to use a normal grip but have it retain the overall weight and counterbalanced feel it had with the superstroke |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 1:01 PM Author: Emerald Main People Great idea, I will do that. Thanks man. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742020&forum_id=2:#49042742) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 7:41 PM Author: Ebony space I don't think this is correct. Usually a heavier grip or heavier tape would cause the head to feel even lighter.
You need a lighter grip or approx the same weight as original oem grip (or slightly lighter to account for ARCOS). Or put lead tape or weighted screws (Callaway sells these) on the head |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 8:36 PM Author: marvelous primrose crackhouse lettuce ?
if he wants it to feel like it did before he should keep about the same amount of weight on the grip end. if he’s putting on a lighter grip, add weight there |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 10:04 PM Author: Ebony space Op said odyssey feels super light and shitty after the new grip
Inferred that swing weight went down dramatically
Cause of lowered swing weight from only grip change is much heavier grip
Solution: reduce grip weight back to oem
*It sounds like he got a 70-80g traxion or jumbo and needs something 50-60g. Traxion 1.0PT is 58g (ie perfect for op) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 11:01 PM Author: Emerald Main People I think you’re right even though I had thought Brother Peter was correct.
Original Super Stroke grip was this one, at 50g.
New grip is this one, at 64g.
https://www.golfpride.com/us/en-us/putter-grips/reverse-taper-collection/reverse-taper---pistol.html
Solution does seem to be adding weight to the head. Not sure where exactly to do that.

Date: June 23rd, 2025 11:05 PM Author: marvelous primrose crackhouse lettuce lol holy shit. i thought you put a normal grip on it.
why don’t you guys just play normal clubs instead of this dork shit |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 11:08 PM Author: Emerald Main People How is it not a normal grip? Looks pretty normal and I spent zero minutes weighing the pros and cons of it which was a mistake in retrospect. Just went to the grip guy and picked one out. I’m surprised because the Odyssey looked much more oafish and gay imo, but it’s significantly lighter. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742020&forum_id=2:#49044494) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 11:24 PM Author: marvelous primrose crackhouse lettuce they’re both oafish imo. a normal putter grip would be like this https://www.golfpride.com/us/en-us/putter-grips/classic-putters/tour-tradition.html
or like a ping man or whatever equivalent scotty’s have used over the years
i still have no idea how much that superstroke actually weighs though that link says the counterweight plug(included) is 50 and the overall “item weight” is 3.2 ounces which is like 90 |
|
Date: June 24th, 2025 12:05 AM Author: Emerald Main People Yeah I think it could be more than 50. Oh well I’ve moved on, doubt I’ll ever play with it again. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742020&forum_id=2:#49044607) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 11:03 PM Author: marvelous primrose crackhouse lettuce isn’t the superstroke that those costco odysseys originally come with a “traxion” of some sort? he said he removed that and replaced it with something else. i guess i assumed it would be a normal grip of some sort which would be lighter.
ime when people say a putter feels lighter they mean it’s literally lighter in lbs/ounces more often than they’re talking about the swingweight. most people these days aren’t putting with a handsy stroke and wont really feel a SW difference the same as you would with woods or irons |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 12:57 PM Author: demanding house indirect expression I have a similarly designed ping putter from a few years ago that I really like.
If I was gonna spend that much right now I'd almost certainly be looking at a lab. Obviously you need to try it but all the comparisons I've seen suggest there's something legit to their design. |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 1:03 PM Author: Emerald Main People Meh, spent an hour trying all of them. It was the presumptive favorite before I even walked in. But I think it's mostly marketing and seems like the tech bros and Tesla lovers of golf gravitate towards them which is a huge turnoff imo.

Date: June 23rd, 2025 1:06 PM Author: Emerald Main People The non-PLD Tyne is actually what I tried, they didn't have the PLD in store. It's an incredible putter man.

|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 1:09 PM Author: demanding house indirect expression Yeah I don't have a pld. I had been using a 25 year old blade. I just went to a golf Galaxy and started hitting putts and that was my favorite. I instantly had so much more confidence on putts from 2 to 6 feet and I definitely hit more of those than I used to.

Date: June 23rd, 2025 1:07 PM Author: mint geriatric idiot Like 2 or 3 years ago I went to a couple golf stores to price out getting "custom" clubs because regular clubs are way too short for me. I recall iron sets going up to like $1000 to $1200 or so for the most high end sets. Most under $1000 and this was at a fancy golf store.
This weekend I went to a fancy golf store again. Many many iron sets are over $1000 now, some were $1200-1400. They even had $1000 drivers
Is the "tech" that much improved over the past few years? Seems like bullshit |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 1:08 PM Author: Emerald Main People No it's mostly bullshit. You should buy last season's good clubs and save money. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742020&forum_id=2:#49042764) |

Date: June 23rd, 2025 1:10 PM Author: demanding house indirect expression Or even the year before. Check them out in the store then hit up 2nd Swing (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5742020&forum_id=2:#49042772) |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 1:15 PM Author: marvelous primrose crackhouse lettuce drivers are expensive as hell now and a lot of it is the shafts. the custom fitting lets them get away with it. who’s gonna spend their time testing all that shit and then say nah i’m good with the cheaper one that’s objectively worse for me
with irons it’s pretty much flame if they’re much more expensive. idk why youd need longer clubs unless you have t rex arms. lie angle can be changed easily even on old shit just buy something with you’re usual shaft that’s forged(or at least 8620) and have it bent |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 1:31 PM Author: mint geriatric idiot they say I need like 2" to 2.5" shaft length on the irons and some change in "angle" or whatever (so I can't just have them increase the length which is easy and cheap)
Multiple "fitting" golf stores told me the same shit, same measurements etc. TBH I have to bend over really far with normal clubs (or hold them on the very end of the club) and playing a round has always kinda hurt my back. They say this is why. When they let me swing with a demo set to my measurements it definitely felt better IMO but I know nothing |
|
Date: June 23rd, 2025 2:15 PM Author: marvelous primrose crackhouse lettuce +2 or 2.5 inches is crazy dood. you must have bizarre proportions or are doing something wrong
changing the lie angle shouldn’t be a big deal if you get softer irons which is why i said forged or 8620 “forged” should work even if you’re buying used |
