Posted October 20, 200519 yr We all pretty much tripped out when the first 380cc+ drivers were introduced into the market about 4 years ago. I used to hear "Wow that thing looks like a Volkswagon beetle on a stick" and all kinds of comments. Has anyone heard the one " If you miss with that thing you should quit golf"?...now all the top players use them and the ones who use small headed drivers are the new minority. Enter the Gauge Japan NeO BLaDE! It is 4 times the size of your average anser putter. See them tungsten ingots? those are the big ones that we see in the M-Series mallets and most of the other gauge putters! yup this thing is that big. Wanna know something even more funny, This "thing" has knocked "The One" straight out of the bag. While testing on the putting range I noticed on flat ground its dumb easy to get the ball rolling straight, I'm talking dead straight. With my loose grip the head felt quite heavy and just goes back and through with no effort. How did they get it to 360 grams with 6 20 gram tungsten ingots? Its hollow! It gives of this hollow "tink" sound that is the exact opposite of what I love about the balde, one, and all the other 3RTNC faced putters. If your into anser putters but cant get used to Neo Mallets try the NeO BLaDE if you can get one. Its an anser with all the answers... well for me it has been anyway :smile2: Dont let the images fool you! this putter is a lot bigger than the pics show!
October 20, 200519 yr i've seen this before but had no idea it was that big!!! you just can't tell from the pics. i think i read somewhere Shingo uses this. is this true chris? btw. beautiful villa :money:
October 20, 200519 yr Author i've seen this before but had no idea it was that big!!! you just can't tell from the pics. i think i read somewhere Shingo uses this. is this true chris?btw. beautiful villa :money: Spot On! Yup Shingo uses this putter! I dont blame him, it changes the game of putting, we play a game called straight putt using that putting peg gadget and I hit 17 of 25 twenty footers to win a whopping 4 bucks! I will post comparisson images next to "the balde" in a couple days or so.
October 20, 200519 yr that thing is MAD! :surprize: i know you said it was big chris...but its gigantic. we gota discuss this......i definately have to try something this crazy
October 20, 200519 yr Chris, is that available yet? I would be very interested in getting one. Shoot me a pm with the price, and availability.
October 20, 200519 yr ps what a pad! lucky boy!!!! :cool: I'm with you on that +1! I love that Neo Blade :laugh:, but that 'castle' is ridiculous! :surprize: :cool:
October 20, 200519 yr ps what a pad! lucky boy!!!! :cool: I'm with you on that +1! I love that Neo Blade :laugh:, but that 'castle' is ridiculous! :surprize: :cool: :cool: Me three boys! Any idea where the castle is? Chris, understand the putter is BIG, however what is more impressive is just how quickly it knocked the one outa your bag. Looking forward to the comparitive pics!
October 20, 200519 yr comparative pics will be good, although the easiest way to judge how MASSIVE it is is to look at the tungsten ignots on the face, and how relatively small they look in comparisson to another gauge putter with the ignots....... :surprize:
October 21, 200519 yr Chris would you be able to put up some pics with a Z-URS in front of it for easier representation? God Bless Jer
October 21, 200519 yr Chris, Any pics of the sole? If so & you could post, that would be sweeeeet! :smile1: (just want to get a visual in my head with the fill removed :fever: ) Dave
October 21, 200519 yr your sick dave lol! :fever: forward thinking eh!.....i really wanna see pics of the headcover....not sure my current bag is big enough to fit this along with other clubs lol! :cool:
October 23, 200519 yr The size of that thing reminds me of a Titleist putter I saw once. That thing was huge...I just cannot remember the name of it.
October 23, 200519 yr That is a huge putter! Alcap, I think it's MacGregor putter from mid 80's that Jack Nicklaus used to win '86 Masters. I forgot the name of it too. Like a ho that I still am, I did use that putter back then, very easy to make long putts too.
October 23, 200519 yr :cool: Well "Yes Sir" Seem to remember Nicklaus winning the 1986 Masters, with a big McGregor putter. That eagle put on 15, Sunday afternoon is one of the most famous shots in golf. I think this putter is worthy of investigation. Chris have you received your invitation for next years Masters?
October 23, 200519 yr That is a huge putter! Alcap, I think it's MacGregor putter from mid 80's that Jack Nicklaus used to win '86 Masters. I forgot the name of it too. Like a ho that I still am, I did use that putter back then, very easy to make long putts too. I remember the Macgregor one but I could swear Titleist also made one and for some reason I remember it having a cross-hair on it. I may be wrong though.
October 23, 200519 yr those new pics really do show how huge the neo is!!! not sure which i like more, the neo or the black crafting balde!!! :laugh: Chris have you noticed much difference in the forgiveness of a standard size anser compared to this?
