Rossa Lemans 5-02
If you are in need of distance control this putter works amazingly right from the start. It has the most natural responding feel of any putter I've tried & does the job in getting the speed of my putts just right. Of course, accuracy & reading greens are another matter, but the Rossa will put the right length on a putt consistenly. I tried a similar Rossa at a local golf shop and after sinking 5 straight putts from 8-10 ft in a row, I was convinced (I'm not that good a putter for sure). I had been using an all steel Ping B60 and I always liked the look and ease of alignment, so I found the Rossa Sebring to be very similar in appearance and bought one brand new on Ebay for $89. The Rossa's are heavy putters compared to many other popular OEM models, and personally this works to my advantage on slower greens. These are beautiful and well crafted works of art that actually work great too. I give it a 5 star overall rating & if you can get one for a good price (less than the MSRP of $229) a 5 star value rating as well. I highly recommend this putter to anyone who consistently has problems putting either too long or too short. Customer Service Have not had any need so far. Similar Products Used: Ping B-60 |

This is one seriuosly nice putter. I was looking for an Anser style putter for a while. I liked the Scotty Cameron Newport 2, but could never stomach the price. I then found this putter. The form and finish of this putter is superb. It is CNC milled and finished with a beautiful "Tuscany" nickel finish. It's really a work of art. This model has a nice whtie site line which makes set-up easy. It has a great grip too. I think the headcover is made of REAL leather, it sure smells like it. The feel of the putter is awesome and distance control is a snap. It makes a distinctive sound at impact which add to the feel. It feels nice and heavy, but the "Titallium" insert is designed to be super light. The insert accounts for only 4% of the mass of the head. I think this baby rivals any of the Cameron putters and can be had for a lot less. This is a vary nice putter. Taylormade has a real winner.

Great Club at long distance putts. Good LAG. Seemed to go to the hole most of the time. The putter felt great, and i felt confident setting up to the ball. Confident is almost 90 percent of your putt. Although the putter is good, it wont make you sink every putt. It all depends on your skill. Its not a miricle club. Besides this, its a great club with a great feel. Customer Service None needed. You might want a headcover, to keep it polished. Similar Products Used: None |

Rossa Imola Tour 6-01
This is a great looking, great performing putter. Got the imola because I have played a Teardrop FC17 and Scotty Cameron studio in the past and I like the similar shape. The biggest difference with the rossa is distance control and thus feel. It is not too soft like other inserts, and works well with the new 3 piece balls (I use wilson True). The roll is great, and the putter just looks so good as well. This will stay in my bag for good.

Putters are a personal thing, and the club in the bag any player (including the best) uses the most. Therefore they deserve our best attention in chosing them, regardless (within reasonable limits) of their price tag, as it is not uncommon to spend twice of three times as much for buying a new driver (which we use much less in any round, and which nevers makes as much a difference as a putter does, in our own confidence, and in any case is not a "scoring" club. I feel the key is to believe in what you are using, and this will give you the extra confidence when setting up for holing a putt, or getting close (three putts are forbidden). The rest being feel (90 %) and technique (10%) I have found what gives me that extra confidence, still I am not holing everything within reasonable distance,and I three putt now and then, but I know that when I do so, I cannot blame the equipment, but myself. I am not saying this is the best putter in the world, but this is the best putter I have put my hands on, in addition it is most sexy (including the red head cover), is very well built and machined and will stay in my bag for a long time (until I find a putter giving me even more confidence). It is not cheap, but what is ? Distance control is a piece of cake with this putter,works better(at least for me) on fast greens than on slow greens (have a heavier putter for slow greens). The sweet spot is relatively huge, mis hits before or after the aiming white mark (within reasonable distances) result in a good ball roll. Was used by Mac Ginley to hole the winning put for Europe, in the Ryder cup by the way, not bad for an American putter. Customer Service Taylor Made has been outstanding for me in the past when needed(and that was not often) Similar Products Used: Odyssey White hot #1, Odyssey White hot 2 balls, Odyseey Rossie, Ping's, Titleist Scotty Cameron's, Ram Zebra, Never Compromise, Nubbins, Carbite + many, many others |

This is the best putter I've ever owned. Once again, I feel confidence when standing over those 10-15 footers that I used to miss all the time. All I need to do is put a good stroke on it, and I know that I'll get a firm and true roll every time. This is a precision instrument, and for mine, compares favourably with most other putters on the market. I'm undecided as to whether it is better than the Scotty Cameron's: but I havn't owned an SC before. The Rossa and SC are at a similar price-point, so thats the real test.

The tour model has the touch, feel, feedback and great looks that a top of the line putter should possess. Putters are a personal preference thing with mental confidence playing a big role in selection. With the Rossa I believe I can make every putt I should(and pretty much have) and get the lag puts close every time. I have used several Ping models, an odyssey, a carbite, and a Nubbins. None come even close to the Rossa in letting me control distance effortlessly. I have an unusual Rossa that was a production line mistake. It has a site line on the top. Only 250 of the Tour models were made like that before the error was caught. Shocked when I found it. If you are looking for a world class flat stick then look at the Rossa. You might want to ask Ernie Els what he thinks of his before you make the plunge. Customer Service Very helpful and quick response time both on the phone and via internet Similar Products Used: Ping Anser 2i, Ally, and B60i and Nubbins, Carbite mallet, and Odyssey Rossie II |
