Absolutely love it. Never going back. From what I've experienced, it takes the putter itself out of putting. It doesn't WANT to release or stay open. It lets you do all the work.","date":"2024-10-03","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_074","source":"Reddit r/golf","sourceUrl":"","author":"anonymous_redditor_2","rating":5,"text":"I tried several different putters and had an aversion to the center of the cup.

Feels amazing and like cheating. I 2 putt everything with it. I had a taylormade spider ex but used pga superstore guarantee to trade in for the DF 2.1 and I couldn't be happier.","date":"2021-09-06","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_074","source":"Reddit r/golf","sourceUrl":"","author":"anonymous_redditor_4","rating":5,"text":"I switched from 10 years of using my Newport 2.5 to a DF 2.1 a few weeks ago. It's been unbelievably good. There was a bit of a learning curve, but I've never felt more confident over the ball.
