Pinemeadow Golf Men's PGX Putter

First off, I'd like to preface this by saying I've been playing golf for about 23 years, I'm about a 7 handicap. I bought this to try out a mallet style without breaking the bank. I had previously only played with blade style putters and had intended to buy something better in the mallet style if I saw an improvement around the greens with this. What I had NOT expected, was for this $40 putter (I think I used some Amazon CC points at the time and paid only $15) to be completely revolutionary to my game. I'm going on about 90 rounds with this putter and it's shaved SEVERAL strokes off my game. This thing is deadly accurate, and the weight and response off the face is absolutely spot on. I personally really enjoy the lie angle and how it positively contributes to forcing you into taking a straight back and forth stroke. Add in the fact that no other mallet in the market has a milled area on the bottom for picking up your ball (which has turned heads with every person I've played with) and you've got a putter here that's way underpriced for what it offers. I was extremely weary looking at the reviews because everyone was talking about the face falling off and the paint chipping - as I mentioned I'm going on round 90 and other than real small amount of grass staining (it is white after all) the putter still looks good as new. I think as long as you keep the cover (included) on in between holes like you would for any other high end mallet, you shouldn't need to worry so much about chipping in the paint or face issues. For reference here, as I mentioned I picked this up with the intention of replacing it with a more main stream mallet; I think I bought it in around February 2020. Well, in October 2020, I went out and treated myself to a nice new Taylormade Spider. I was all excited to get out on the course with it to play, and when I finally did, I shot probably 5-6 strokes higher than I would have normally. Figuring it was a fluke and I needed to get used to it, I played probably around 15 more rounds with it, each progressively worse until I finally said "What changed? Why am I playing so much worse?" Then I looked at my scores and when I started shooting worse, oh yeah, the PUTTER change! I swapped back recently and my scores immediately shot back down, I think my 2nd round back with it I drained 3, 15-20 foot putts including an eagle putt. Needless to say, my fancy new Spider is currently up for sale on Craigslist and I learned a valuable lesson that just because it's expensive, doesn't mean it's going to necessarily work better, and that with this piece of equipment, it really doesn't need to be replaced because IT WORKS and it works WELL. If you're on the edge about picking this up, go for it, you won't be disappointed. I'll be ordering a second myself just so I have a backup should anything happen to this one, it's become that important in my bag.UPDATE: 3 years later and this is still in my bag in 2023 and not going anywhere. I keep it in its head cover when I'm not putting and I haven't had any paint chipping or damage. I've noticed that the slot that picks up the ball isn't as sharp as it once was, but it still picks up the ball every 9 of 10 tries. I switched my grip out to a super stroke with the interchangeable weight system last year and changed the weight to the heaviest one and it balanced the whole thing out perfectly - last year I dropped my handicap to a 4 and won my golf league and I think my putting was a big part of it.

I love this putter works great, easy to line up and control the ball speed. I actually bought this for my grandson. He had lost interest in golf, so I thought I would try it out and you know what its the best putter I've ever used. Now how long the putter will last is anyone's guess. But for the price you can't go wrong.

I bought this to convert it to a belly putter for face on putting. Been experimenting with face on putting lately. Bought one and had the shaft lengthened to 43". not long after getting it . After extending it, I took to the PGA Superstore and practiced for a little while. The lie angle is more than it should be for face on putting. But I really like the smooth way the ball comes off the face. While at the store one of the sales reps announced a putting contest. Only 4 entered. 1st put was 6ft, second was 12 ft and third was 16 ft. If you miss your out. Three of the four of us made the 6 footer. 2 of us made the 12 footer and I was the only one that sunk the 16 footer. Got a $25 gift certificate and bought a 6 pack of Prov 1 golf balls with it. I love the putter! I'm doing much better on the greens with it.

Seems very balanced when putting. The ball comes off real nice.

Wanted to try a putter with a larger head so I grabbed this on sale for around $40, I think it's normally $60 which I probably wouldn't pay for it. Then again I'm kind of cheap when it comes to putters. The ball pick up feature only works with certain ball types (doesn't work well/at all on soft matte types such as the Volvik vimax for example, works fine with pro VIs) and keep in mind it's going to wedge in to the bottom so if you're worried about scratching/cutting up your balls I wouldn't use it for that.The design lends itself to more of an inclined or arched swing plane assuming you have a pretty natural putting stance/stroke. You can choke up/down and adjust you arms a bit if you want something more vertical in terms of path; probably better to look for different putter if that's how you like to swing. My last putter was a blade I swung vertical and I find I lag more with this putter and was passing the hole more with the other. The other was a lot lighter tho so it could be that the weight here is slowing my swing down a bit (good for me) which you might not like. All in all I'm happy with it for $40.

So I ordered this after seeing all the 3k+ positive reviews. After looking at Ping and Taylor Made and Odyssey for $150-$250 for one putter I couldn't pass up trying a putter for $40. WORTH every single penny, I love the balance of the putter. Its pendulum-weight action works wonderfully. The ability to pick up the ball at the bottom of the putter was a total surprise and a super cool extra. It comes with a quality cover. And moving from a blade-style putter to this was such a nice upgrade in style. Plus if I get annoyed at myself for not reading the green correctly and I launch my putter into the woods, well then not a huge loss. LOL

It’s a nice putter, however it was advertised as a graphite shaft but it is steel, only practiced on the range but seems quite good

Auf der Suche nach einem neuen Putter bin ich über diesen gestolpert.Nach Recherchen im Netz einfach mal arbenteuerlustig bestellt.Bei dem Preis kann man ja nicht viel falsch machen.Eckdaten:Hobbyspieler 1x bis 2x wöchentlich, Handicap 27,0bis dato Putter Nike Method Matter M5Auf dem Puttinggrün verglichen.Fazit:Wenn man sich an das etwas andere Gewicht gewöhnt hat erzielen beide Schläger dasselbe Ergebnis.Hilfreich bei dem Pinemeadow die 3 Hilfslinen und der weiße Kontrast. Gewöhnungsbedürtig ist der Klang beim putten. Der Pinemeadow hat den Nike aus dem Bag verdrängt und bei dem Preis kann man eigentlich nichts falsch machen, aber liegt ja immer im Auge des Betrachters.

I'm very happy with my purchase and am now using it all of the time as my main putter as when I first received it I had to adjust to the extra weight which took a bit of time. I also installed a mid sized grip which, for me, completed the setup. One thing to note is that when using it in damp conditions bits of grass, dirt etc are a bit hard to clean out of the crevices on the underside of the head during a round unless a tap or a puddle can be found. Overall, a great piece of kit and will be in my bag for quite a while.

I didn’t want to spend big bucks on all these high priced name brand putters out there so I did some research and this putter was in the top five most economical putters available and it did not disappoint. Great feel around the green and improved my putting game immensely.

Only messed around with it for a couple days now so I can't speak on the longevity of the putter but as of now it's been pretty good for me. Hard to argue with the value so far.
