Help me on choosing #9

[valante]

guys,

really2 have a major issue....!!!!!! need help from all of the expert here.

I gamed with so many anser style, Anser Redwood, Scoty, betti, guage design and thinking to give up good look for easy and forgiveness, so i can score better since putting is the weak point in my game,

so im in the search easier putter with bunch of feel. but easy and forgive will be my main concern.

try to settle with odyssey model no #9 but they come with so many models,

Please help me on choosing Odyssey Black Tour Design 9, i9 or White damascus.

Specs all in 34 inch.

- i9 HW 350g, grip 57-60g

- TD 9 HW 350g, grip 76g

- WD 9 HW 340g, grip 77g

Feel

- i9 very soft, to soft until i cant feel the distence.

- TD 9 feel ok, but not wonderful

- WD 9 feels greaattttt.....

Weight

- i9 total weigth is 512gram, which on my comfort zone.

- TD 9 on 529gram, (maybe because one using winn and the other using golf pride rubber?) but the extra 17gram, feel so different.

- WD i didnt weigh it. it feels very ackward. the balance just fells awfull.

Balance and Forgiveness

- i9 is very easssyyy....very stable.

- TD 9 so-so

- WD 9 not very stable, my backstroke was shaky all the way. may be due to 340g headweight and 77g grip weight.

havent test the new protype 9 because currently its not available for me.

some says that the tungsten back weight really help to roll the ball and make it more forgive.

do you think the tungdten help at all? or just another marketing gimmick? or it help it balance the putter? Some people really think it didnt do any good.

What you guys think about the Damascus insert or steel? another gimmick?

They say that the feel will not consisten due to different material in it.

but it fells really hot....may be one of the hottest feel i ever experienced.

decision.....decision......
