Hah! I was right.

Went to Golf Bargains instead of Affordable Art Fair, didn't waste my time.

Bought the Odyssey Black Series Tour Design 4 (SGD 129) and the Cleveland Mashie+ Fairway 3W 15.5 degree loft (SGD 159).

Few things about the putter

1. Milled Face- better feel, distance control and smoother roll. My previous putter the TM Rossa Suzuka 2008 is a grooved putter which gives great roll and distance control too. But the grooves and the inserts are aging and showing signs of age and wear. Scotty Cameron Putters are milled. Another Putter brand which has a milled face is the TP Mills. Both are really great putters. Although I feel that Mills early putters are better. The current series not so wonderful. Groove vs Milled that's a whole post.

2. PVD -Just like the Pro-Hunter Rolexes, the Putter is PVDed. (Physical Vapor Deposition). Cool and anti glare. But have to watch the scratches.

3. The putter is a Scalloped out, rounded heel-toe Flanged Blade with a crank neck hosel and full shaft offset. Type of putter is up to you. But I am used to mid-mallet putters, although the TM Rossa Suzuka is listed as classic mallet, but with the size of the other mallets I consider this a mid mallet. But this scalloped out, round flanged Blade putter looks in between. Surprisingly the putter is heavier then the Rossa Suzuka and feels very stable.

4. Got the 34" Putter. Another interesting point is that at address the hands are more forward then my previous putter. The forward press of the hands is in a way good as it makes me hold the forward press and tends to deloft the putter and encourages forward roll. Something that Michael Breed and Faldo talked about.

5. One thing about Odyssey Putter Grips they don't last and get sticky quite quickly. So need to regrip sooner.

Things about the Putter. Whats there to say...
1. Cleveland Rocks. Cleveland is one of the more under-rated brands in Singapore. I still really dig Cleveland Clubs. Really good value for money too. Was really happy when Keegan Bradley won. Though I use more Taylor Made Clubs because they are the best at the moment, But for the Hybrid and the Fairway I use the Cleveland, really good price. But I think in an earlier post I mentioned that one should spend the money to get the best performing equipment suited for you (not waste money on Honma clubs or gold plated clubs). At this stage, I haven't found a fairway or hybrid that outperforms the Cleveland Mashie series(been to many Demo days at the club), so will stick to value for money clubs like Cleveland and Odyssey. Haven't been really convinced to spend the money on a Scotty Cameron yet. But it's also the marketing strategy in Singapore. TMAG (Taylor Made asia) and Acushnet Singapore (esp Acushnet) won't slash the prices or do blow out sales on their old clubs. Save the TP irons, TPMC SGD599 and TPMB 599, but the R11's price is still holding up. Whereas, Cleveland and Odyssey prices drop by quite a bit such that one would bite.

2. The Miyazaki Shaft is great. The shaft is the Miyazaki C Kua 59 Shaft which is made in Japan. The torque of the shaft I think is lower which suits me well. Previously owned the Ultralite Launcher FL Fairway, but the shaft was too whippy (although Stiff flex), but the torque was too high. The Driver shaft had a torque of 6.4 ( now I play a shaft of torque 2.6, less dispersion). The C Kua 59  has a torque of 3.6. more stable.

3. The Glider Rail is also a feature that helps to cut through the rough.

Well, all in all, a good day shopping. No impulse buy today, because have been looking at the Black putter since it first came out. Was previously 500+ and own the Mashie Hybrid already which works really well for me.
