![]() Might be worth a shot to email and see if you can still grab one for $50. Just the other day they had a 24 hour special on them and were selling every Backstryke model for $50. My old Yes! Blade putter seemed to feel as though the face twisted at impact if I didn't hit it perfectly, but not this thing.Ĭheck out Rock Bottom Golf. It's extremely easy to align on short putts and the face just seems to set square and stays stable through the strike. Finally took it out to the putting green and continued to make everything I looked at so I went in and talked them down on price and got it.Įverything in golf can change quickly and who knows, I may not like this thing in a year or so, but I have the same thoughts as you. This went on for a few days indoors and I liked it more and more each day. I usually don't put much thought into it when I make everything with a putter at a golf store. I think I putted for ten minutes or so with it and made everything I looked at inside. I know indoors, it seems you make everything you look at and this was no different. I really love it I would pick one up if I could find it cheap just to try it on the course instead of some crappy putting green inside. It just sets up really nice for me I think and it just seems i'm able to keep it more steady throughout my swing resulting in nice sold contact hits that go exactly where I intend it to go. I remembered this thread and picked one up and started to putt with it and MAN I really want to try it outside on the course. It's funny because a couple days after I read this thread I was walking around a golf store about 30 miles from my hometown and I had seen a backstryke putter aswell as other putters with the same setup. Force yourself to get over the initial impression based on looks and give it a try. Just thought I'd recommend it to anyone on the market for a new putter. This is hardly scientific proof of superiority of this putter and we all know how quickly things can change in golf, but at least for now, I have zero plans to change putters. I can't tell you the last time I had anything below 30 in a round, let alone two in a row. So far I've used it for two rounds and had 26 putts the first round and 28 the second. ![]() That's the theory behind it for me it seems to be legit because I do feel as though this putter is much easier to align to my intended target. With other putters, the shaft typically covers a portion of the face making it more difficult to align squarely to your target. ![]() That's the whole reason for the shaft design. The putter is designed to not impair your view of the face at address. The face set square at address with no twisting open or closed, hand position because of the unique shaft felt great and impact had a nice "ting" sound which I kind of liked (seemed better than the "thud" of the other models I tried). I picked it up and tried it I had tried everything else, so why not? To my surprise the putter set up really nice. I mean, who does that, right? Fast forward to when I get back after vacation, my local driving range had a used (but like new condition) 2-Ball Backstryke sitting there. They had a lot of different Odyssey Backstryke models which I never even took off the shelf because of the whole shaft being in the back of the clubhead thing. I went and probably tried 50 different putters, none of which I was in love with. I recently went on vacation in Florida and a Golf Galaxy was nearby. It's impossible to make a confident stroke this way. I would address the ball on the green and always feel as though my putter face was open or closed and try to adjust from there on the fly on each green and it just ends in me not making many putts. My stroke is actually decent, but I've always struggled with getting my putter face aligned correctly. I've bee struggling with putting for a couple years. I mean, a shaft that's connected to the back of the putter head? No thanks! I know these putters have been out for a while and if you're like me, you haven't even been interested in trying them based on looks alone.
