The Hockey Stick Putter

Looking for a the perfect gift to give your hockey fan who also golfs?  Look no further than the Hockey Stick Golf Putter.

What is it?

I thought it was the solution to my putting struggles but I think that's something I need to actually solve with practice and therapy... lots of therapy.  When I get on the dance floor with a putter in my hand, I panic.  I have had rounds with 30 putts and I have had rounds with 47 (that's not a typo) putts.  My average is 32 putts per round.
I put the Ping Ti3 away and reached for this.

A Christmas gift from my mother who knows my passion for both golf and hockey, I decided I would give it a try.  It's legal to use and is weighted heavily at the bottom.  It works better at municipal courses where the greens are slower than it does at a country club that has some speed to it.  Again, this could just be my ability.

The Shaft

The shaft is made from a composite hockey stick.  Same feel and material.  It has the logo and name of whatever NHL team you like.  Above is the Montreal Canadiens putter but I have seen the New York Rangers putter which is blue.

 

You can also see the head cover in the picture.

The Face of the Putter

As I mentioned above, the face of the putter is flat so it works for a lefty or a righty.  I'm a righty but have had some rounds where I tried a few putts lefty to see if that was my problem... maybe I'm a lefty.  No, I'm not.  I'm just not good at putting.  Here's the putter face:

It looks like the blade of a hockey stick.  Here's the bottom (some clever marketing!):

That's the website to buy it.  You can also see the width of the blade.

The Grip

The grip is pretty standard and is exactly what you would expect on a putter.  If anything, you might say it's a little thinner but you can always change it if you want.  See below:

It's standard and a little smaller than the shaft of of the putter.

Overall Review

If you're a serious golfer and looking to shave strokes off your game, I'd look for a Scotty Cameron instead of this.  If you're looking to have some fun and support your favorite NHL team, this is the way to go.  I have had people stop me every time I use it and ask.  I even had the pro at one club make an announcement over the loud speaker that "slapshots are not permitted on the green", he then came out and used it for a couple of putts.

It's a fun gift at a golf outing or to put in your office to strike up a conversation.  The cost is $115 and can be found at www.hockeystickputters.com.

I look forward to your comments!

The last thing one discovers in composing a work is what to put first. Do you agree?
