Compare Yes putter C-Groove Marilyn to Odyssey WhiteHot XG#9, which one is better for a beginner?

Question

I had tried odyssey WH xg#9 and i found some difficulty in long distance putting, can Yes putter give me better control and feeling?

Answer 1

Depends on what type of stroke you have.  The Yes! Marilyn putter is a mallet and face balanced putter, while the White Hot #9 is a heel balanced.  Face balanced requires more of an straight back, straight through stroke.  Heel balanced is more of a inside to square to inside stroke.  Whichever kind of stroke you have, match it with the type of putter that promotes that stroke.

Answer 2

according to a current Golf Magazine article, the Yes! C-groove putters are pretty consistent whether struck on the toe, heel, or sweet spot, ranking #1 among the putters tested.  

the Odyssey #9 is a good one, as well, but it doesn't help as much on mis-hits.  Some people don't like the way it feels on good strokes (too soft) but that'd be something for you to decide.

ask yourself:

1. do you have a consistent stoke?

2. do you need help on toe/heel hits?

3. what kind of feel/feedback are you looking for?
