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.

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.

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

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

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

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)

I think you’re right even though I had thought Brother Peter was correct.

Original Super Stroke grip was this one, at 50g.

https://a.co/d/3LOhxLU

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

+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

This is correct

Michael Jordan only has +1" on irons, wedges are standard length, and his driver is SHORTENED by 2-3". Obviously his grips are GIGANTIC as fuck, but his clubs look normal length and he's way taller than Doodikoff
