smstef Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi here is my situation , I'm on the way to a SGI bag , I'm usually playing in the evening after work so I need forgiveness had 302s that I changed for 703, perfect and easy Had DI Epon that I changed for the proto Ut , also perfect and easy . now the putter problem ... the zen is great , soft , pure , beautiful , unique ... but not really easy , even after fitting , I still don't have consistancy with it . so I'm looking for forgiveness , anser style is what I like so if you have , and I'm sure you do , any experience with a forgiving putter with a maximum budget of 700 $ thanks and have a nice week Stéphane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yamada emperor II. Large, forgiving and feels great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 The Ryoma P3 remains the most unique feeling putter I've ever rolled. It's the one that actually took me away from the Zen and my Golds Yamada. It was love at first stroke, and it's only gotten better from there.

RLL33 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I put the UST Frequency Filtered shaft in all my putters so I can get a true comparison (for me). And yes, the P3 is hugely forgiving like the woods. It's an odd feeling at first -- softest hit I've ever felt no matter where the ball is touched on the face, but the ball rolls out smoothly in a very quick rebound. Like I said, totally unique in my experience of everything from Scotty's to Yamadas to the Zen. Of course everything is very personal with putters, but I see you also like the feel of A-Grind clubs, so maybe we respond to some things in a similar way...

wedda Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I had the Miura KM 006 and 007 - bought the Piretti CW2 and for me - I feel like its much more forgiving.. Not sure if it is but compared to both miuras I feel like it is! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegaman Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 This is almost embarassing to mention, but I game the Cleveland TFi 8.0 putter..The oversized Anser style with the copper face that is slightly longer than standard and counterbalanced. I tried it for laughs and it practically puts itself. It's the most forgiving soft feeling putter I have ever tried, and yes I have tried plenty of putters. It's also cheap as chips so I bought it just to see if it would work on real greens. And it does. I love the fact it's so uber forgiving but at the same time doesn't look like some space ship. EVERYBODY I know that tries it get a humbled absent look int heir eyes, glancing over at their Camerons or whatever expensive putter they have in theor bag. Other putters I have, Bettinardi, Cameron, Maruman, Rife are all collecting dust. For forgiveness and ultra-stability in a not-weird looking package this is close to unbeatable. It now sits in the bag next to 302s or 551s, PRGR, Epon, S-Yard, Kasco etc like some ugly duckling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yubin89 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I actually found the Zen to be the best putter for fast greens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
