Posted September 9, 200519 yr comment_102522 To me this putter is " The One " I have had a proto in the bag for several weeks now and it has finally been released to the public. It has the 3RTNC milling marks on its face which helps the ball roll end over end and has this incredible soft feel to it. The head weight is a tad under 350 with its NS pro 130g shaft this club is truly a Gem among the many. I really liked the balde and im loving this one as much if not more due to its A1SPish shape. Here are some pics i took for you guys:
September 9, 200519 yr comment_102551 NO! .... Can't be better the Balde w/out sightline. I guess the Balde may be "out of the bag" if I am to be with the "ONE."
September 9, 200519 yr comment_102552 ah come on acrazygolfer, a sightline is a must! plus the shape of this beast is completely different! IMO both are beautiful in their own way....but the square lines on this model look great........this is the one! ps chris how would this putter compare to bettinardis honeycombe face in terms of roll and in terms of skidding?

All PM's replied to, Both "The One" and "Balde" roll better than the honeycomb face IMO, the best words I can use are a similar roll to the YES putter face with an incredible soft feel. I rank the "Balde" and "The One" the same in performance but enjoy the shape of "The One" much more.
September 12, 200519 yr comment_102732 Damn nice. You are right about the Balde though. I've had some special $ putters in my life but the Balde is much more balanced and non skid. Even at a low price. Thanks again for that putter Chris.
September 12, 200519 yr comment_102739 Played golf for the first time in months yesterday. I took the Balde, Tour Zero, Newport 2.5 tour and the MC Series 360 to the practice green before the round. The vote was: 1st place - Balde; 2nd place - Newport; 3rd place - MC Series with the Tour Zero coming in very close to the MC. I played with the Balde and it was sweet. :love: Please don't ask about the driver ... it was ugly ... :yuk:
September 12, 200519 yr comment_102741 lol sounds horrific! what did u like most about the balde? this 3rtnc must really work..... out of the one and the balde, which resembles a newport two more?
September 13, 200519 yr comment_102755 From the top view, the Balde & the Newport are similar. From the back view, the Zero & Newport are similar, but I like the look of the groove on the neck and cavity on the Zero more. Looking down the toe line, the Zero & Newport are similar, but the Balde looks better. Looking down the heel line, the Balde & Newport are similar; again the Balde looks better. The face of Zero & Newport are similar. The face of the Balde is slightly bigger since the sole of the Balde has less rocker or curve. I like the milled face of the Balde over the swirl of the Newport and the groove in the neck of the Balde & Zero. The Balde to me is softer thus it provides much more feels than the Newport. I may be wrong but the ball coming off the Balde seems to skid less than the Newport and Zero (I can hear the ball skidding before rolling when putt on the carpet in the living room). I like to remove the red paintfill in the logo but too afraid to ruin the putter.
September 13, 200519 yr comment_102768 great comparison, thanks for the info.....gonna have to stop asking questions and just buy one to see for myself! afterall the proof is in the pudding! :cool:
September 13, 200519 yr comment_102792 Chris, Do these come without a sightline? Would you please PM me a price for one? thanks, Matt
September 13, 200519 yr comment_102794 Chris, I want a centershafted "The One". Let me know when it comes in! :cool: How much for the "The One" anyways? thanks!
September 13, 200519 yr comment_102807 Plus1, The One and Newport have similar back view; i.e., no cavity. However, the One is much more "angular" in comparison to the more rounded corners of the Newport. The One is AWESOME looking but would be much better without the sightline!
September 13, 200519 yr comment_102811 i get what your saying acrazygolfer, it has a slight newport 2 look about it, in that it is more square! from these pics ii think it looks beaut....and honestly i love the sightline...
September 14, 200519 yr comment_102826 If I understand it correctly you're not suppose to look at the putter on the back swing and sightline causes me to do so. Lasik may be or a new brain. :whistle: The angular lines and color .... GD should renamed it as the BEAST!
