My ancient Ping Pal putter separated recently, so i began the search for a new putter.  After seeing several reviews, I landed on the Pinemeadow PGX and quickly placed an order.  I'm quite impressed with this putter with it's solid feel.  Overall, the construction seems first rate compared to others costing more that I tried in a store, however one key difference here is the painted finish and non-milled face.  After one round, there are a few dings here and there, but you have to remember how much you actually paid for it.  One additional feature that I like is the cavity on the bottom for picking up balls, which is great during practice.  I would also prefer a milled clubface with natural metal showing, however this one functions very well at this level.  The aiming system is also very intuitive and a marked improvement after years of using a blade style putter and preferable to me over the \"two ball\" style alignment system.  I would give it 5 stars, especially at this price but the finish is more fragile than it should be, but it's still the nicest looking club in my bag and I knew this weakness going into the purchase. For that, I did give a solid 4.","date":"2026-02-19","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_098","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C79Q1DMP","author":"William Smead","rating":5,"text":"Great beginner putter!!. I’m new to the game. I had some Ping Eye 2 red dot irons that I bought a while back and never used, but I had no other clubs. I bought used drivers and hybrids, but I couldn’t find a used putter to complete my set. This is the first one that popped up on Amazon and I figured I couldn’t go wrong for such a low price.This putter is great. My instructor and several golfers commented on it’s attractive finish (which isn’t perfect but it’s $40) and the long black line on the top of the head really helps me get my putter face square and my body aligned. Ball feels good off the strike and I love the weight and feel. The grip is more than adequate...feels really nice and soft in the hand. All in all a phenominal deal.

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.","date":"2026-02-19","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_098","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C79Q1DMP","author":"Kevin Hamilton","rating":3,"text":"Not a new product.. This seems like a decent putter. However, I paid for a new product and received a product that was clearly not new. The bottom of the putter was all scuffed and marked up from contact with the grass.
