Never thought blade putters were ever face balanced but the old Odyssey #6 White Hot ive been gaming lately balances almost flat when u hold the shaft in one hand..

I was told on TCC(thecameroncollector) that no blade putters are face balanced..

Any thoughts?

on further investigation there are a handful of face balanced blades around...

A face balanced putter has the plane of the shaft and the centre of gravity of the putter head in the same line. This allows the putter head to face 90* on the vertical when the putter is balanced on its horizontal centre of gravity. In other words there is no toe or heel hang.

So the guy that told me there are no face balanced blade putters is incorrect...

Thanks Raz

Flavzz,
The new Laguna 2 is as close as a face balanced blade Scotty has made.

Good choice mate, initially I had my heart set on a California Monterey but the Laguna 2 is tempting alternative...

They are a sweey looking putter!
Forgot to mention the old Pro Pltinum Sonoma 2

I really like the look of that sonoma 2 mate. Looks so similar to my odyssey. Thanks for the reference :)

Yeh, its a real nice putter.
Im not going to use it, its a wall hanger but im on the lookout for a beat-up gamer to actually play with, they put a real good roll on the pill!
