Additional Details: Mallet style putter with ball and chevron alignment marks.
Purchase: Bought two of them (at different times) at Sports Authority; one for $30 and one for $20. I was looking for a better alignment system and a mallet style putter, but didn't want to pay for an Odyssey Two Ball. (The second putter was for my wife. You were wondering.)
Pros: Alignment system and price. Price aside, the alignment system helps me visualize the path better and ensure the face is square to my intended target. Prior to buying the putter I would stroke the ball 33-40 times a round on the green. After buying the putter, I've lowered my putting stroke range to 31 to 36 times per round. I am also more consistently inside the gimme range on the second putt.
Cons: Check the face once set up at address before you buy one. The loft varies about a degree or two from club to club. You notice it on the white face insert as you address the ball holding several clubs one after the other. I like to see as little face as possible.
ZR7 Quality: It's a $20-$30 putter, so the construction isn't perfect. But it will help you decide whether this style of putter and alignment system will work for you on the more expensive putters.
Review & Rating Summary: Great value. Effective tool. If it works for you it can save you strokes.
Knight ZR7 Rating: 5

Game Description: Self-taught, extremely analytical golfer with an athletic background. Started playing in April 2006 with a set of hand-me-down clubs from my father. From April to November 2006 I've lowered my score from the 120s to the high 80's to low 90's by charting every stroke on a spreadsheet, recognizing my trends, researching causes and solutions, and adapting my address, grip, stance, and swing to the make necessary changes.
Weakness is improper weight shift on fairway shots (tendency to hit fat). Strengths are short game and putting.
Average Score For 18: 90's

Knight Performance Series - Wedges - This is a decent sand wedge for mid to high handicappers. It's very affordable and is a great sand wedge for it's price.
Knight Sand Wedge 56* - Wedges - In summary, the Knight 56* Sand Wedge is a decent wedge at a decent price. I suspect that many folks pick these up at time of need, meaning that they end up playing without one and decide while walkin
Knight 56 Degree Wedge - Wedges - I think any golfer that plays for fun and doesnt want to spend alot of money on clubs should go ahead and purchase this club.
