On 2009-08-13, Joe Golfer rated this Nike OZ 6 a 5...(8508)
Details: I reviewed this a couple days ago, but when I checked the review, it simply had an ERROR message, and no review.
So for those who would like to see it, hopefully this one will go through.
Nike OZ #6 putter, 35' length, Green face insert. Mallet with VERY large head.
Purchase: Golf Galaxy. $99.99.
Pros: Excellent feel and lag distance.
Great control on accuracy.
I Have played a mallet putter for years, the Oddysey dual Rossie mallet.
But this is far better.
The head is huge, so it takes some getting used to at first, but that didn't take long after the results.
Face insert has nice feel.
Lag distance is incredible, time and time again.
And accuracy is far better than my old Oddysey.
It's not that I was missing the sweet spot with my old putter.
It's just that sometimes the face didn't always come in square, so if it was slightly open or closed, the putt was off target line.
Not so with this huge headed NIke Model.
It is long from heel to toe.
Heavy weights extending backwards from edges of heel and toe.
Also a solid weight directly behind the sweet spot.
Though I was rarely missing the sweet spot, sometimes the face would turn slightly with my old putter. This one is far more accurate with my straight back and straight thru putting style.
Cons: Nothing to me.
If you are someone who uses a style where you open and close the clubface during your putting stroke, ala Ben Crenshaw, then you probably would prefer a heel weighted putter.
Quality: Excellent Review Summary: Terrific putter for anyone who uses a pendulum swing of straight back and thru for their putting stroke.
Head is very large, but you get used to it almost instantly, though it'll take up alot of space in the bag.

Details: Green face insert, 35' in length, large head especially from heel to toe.
Purchase: Golf Galaxy, $99.99.
Pros: The Nike OZ #6 putter has a very large putter head. Much larger than most.
It didn't appeal to me at first glance, but I was trying numerous putters all at once in the store.
Nowadays there are many putters that will give you a good feel upon hitting the ball.
This putter gave a nice feel as well, but what I really liked was the tremendous accuracy of it, and also the extremely good distance control consistency.
I have currently played an Oddysey Dual Rossi putter for a long time. The feel has always been good, and it is a pretty fine putter all around.
But this Nike putter really seemed to do a fantastic job on distance control and accurancy.
I tried numerous putters, and this one seemed to hit the same distance time and time and time again, making for extremely close lags every time. And the accuracy was also terrific.
Cons: The size of the head looks disconcerting at first.
It is long from heel to toe, and seems to have weighted wings extending backwards and outwards from the edges of the face, making it look even bigger. I suppose this expands the sweet zone of the putter.
There is also weight directly behind the face, helping to give a solid feel.
I never really thought much of the idea of a putter needing more 'forgiveness', an expanded sweet spot or zone, as one rarely misses the center by much.
As I mentioned, I already played a mallet putter which was very forgiving and had a nice face insert.
But this big headed putter was phenomenal, so if one misses that sweet spot by a tiny bit, it didn't seem to affect the distance control one bit.
And the accuracy was fantastic, so the larger heel to toe dimensions also must help in that regard as well.
Quality: Excellent quality. Review Summary: Excellent putter for both distance control and accuracy.
Try it in the store first.
If you get used to the size of the putter head, you should like it just fine.
