Title: Nike Unitized putters Post by: spacey on December 09, 2006, 01:06:55 PM I saw one in person for the first time yesterday. Nice looking, but I didn't like the feel. Supposedly the unitized shaft provides better feedback, but it felt dead to me and pushed everything. Not to mention a broken shaft and you're SOL. At least they're super expensive. Anyone else seen/ tried them?

The store where I tried it didn't have the best putting green, but I didn't think anything special about it. The Techno is the center-shafted mallet, and I expected it to feel extremely stable like an M5K, Futura, Big Ben or Craz-E, but I wasn't that impressed.

Therefore, the whole concept is bunk unless the unitized shaft somehow transmits sound differently than a regular shaft. Having said that, I think the putter is milled very nicely and is obviously of high quality construction.

Title: Re: Nike Unitized putters Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on December 12, 2006, 12:19:39 PM Oh! That set reminds me of my grandmother's old set. I think it's from the 60's, but they could be older. [sm_dontknow] I don't know how she used it. She was about as tall as me, and I have to choke down on them enough that it gets in the way of swinging.
