Check out the new Nike Method Concept. I putted with it today, and overall feel was tremendous. Took me about two putts to get the distance from the face insert., but quickly learned how forgiving it is. Only thing for me was the grip, which I prefer a thinner pistol like grip. The ones on the method putters now are great, where the grip on the concept was a bit thicker and heavier. Again something I can easily change, but it was soft in hands. Looking down on it it is easy to line up, and you forget about the weight on the back as it reads like a blade putter. Something, everyone should give a try Well, if you want to see untraditional design with new technology. Check out the new Nike Method Concept.

I really like G'Lover's putter too..I see some weighting on the back of the putter which would be very nice! I like that a lot.

And good point about trying to compete with the SC Newport. If you like the Mako or Ignite 3 (I have an Ignite 3 and used it when I was using a mallet putter, great putter), check out the photo at bottom right of this blog post, you may like what you see: http://www.thetourvan.com/features/221164 Great points Damian — yes, if Tiger used the prototype it would probably be on the market by now.

I think with the Unitized and IC putters that Nike has currently...that they are great putters and have been very well reviewed. These are innovative putters and I think to get into the putter market, that's what Nike is trying to do: to get notice, be different and gain some credibility. I think what hurts Nike putters is that Tiger Woods isn't using one. I really like the Unitized Retro and OZ 1, as traditional putters...but I really like the Unitized Mako..I think that's my favourite. It's sort of a classic mid-mallet. The prototype looks to tackle the Scotty Cameron Newport, which is really a tour favourite...but I think a lot of amateurs really like the weighting in the bigger putters and mallets..like the Black Oz putters. The prototype is a must for Nike and more Nike golfers need to use it to further solidfy their reputation. Personally, I like the Unitized Mako or Ignite 3 style. I agree with you for the most part.

I like traditional putter designs (although I own a bunch that are not traditional, including by Spider). Unfortunately, some of Nike's putter designs have been flat out ugly. I cannot putt with something unless I can bear the looks. Most of Nike's putters do not have any kind of styling that I like. Now that new prototype is something I would like to get my hands on. Or get it into my bag. I agree with you. I like traditional putter designs (although I own a bunch that are not traditional, including by Spider).
