outstanding putter
By Geoff from St. Charles ,Mo on May 26, 2013

The first day I played with this putter I had 5 one putt greens in Rowe!
Pros:
Over all qualityCons:
Grip too smallI would recommend this item to a friend.
Shave off some strokes!!!
By RYAN from Orlando, FL on May 20, 2013

I purchased this putter on the reviews written by others and thinking through the design concept of all the advantages you get with a putter that helps with hand press, alignment and ball strike. I am happy I made the purchase and didnt shy away from it b/c its not your traditional putter! It has a great feel in your hands and strikes the ball very true and pure. You will not regret switching to this putter.
I would recommend this item to a friend.

Putter face was easy to align compared to a convincinal putter. Takes a little practice how far to bring putter head back and through, once you get the hang of it watch out!!!

Was there ever any doubt?!
By Glenn from Washington, D.C. on January 30, 2013

The feel I get when this putter blade strikes the ball is amazing! The shape or design of the putter may throw some people off, but I am 100% satisfied with this purchase. My putts are as firm, straight and true as they have ever been...and I feel as if I could make any putt under 8 feet (with my previous Odyssey 2-ball, that wasn't always the case). The line down the center of the putter head really makes lining up a putt almost impossible to get wrong. Granted, I have only used this putter once, but I expect similar outstanding results for as long as I own it.
Pros:
Feel
Weight
Center "Aim" Line
ResultsCons:
NothingI would recommend this item to a friend.

LOVE THE WAY IT SETS UP TO THE BALL
Pros:
ROLLS THE BALL VERY WELLI would recommend this item to a friend.
Target Line and distance control
By Mark from Willow Springs, Il on December 17, 2012

I have used this putter the last two rounds that i have played. I like the more consistant roll, and it is a lot easier to aim at the cup.
Pros:
Consistant roll.
Better distance control.
Easier to line up putts.
Cons:
Nothing. I just need more practice with this putter.I would recommend this item to a friend.
great putter, great price
By the "hacker" from cincinnati, ohio on December 3, 2012

this putter has a very soft face, so it took a second round to get used to it. It's so easy to line up to the line you want to start the putt on, i just set in place and stroke it. The backstryke seems to stay on line straight through.
Pros:
easy to line up
promotes straight back and straight thru
promotes good roll for me
i'm making the putts i should makeI would recommend this item to a friend.
Played yesterday and had a great experience with my new best friend !
By Champ from Greenville, S.C. on November 30, 2012

Pros:
Everything- I may use this foreverCons:

Odyssey does it again!
By Gerry Sawchuk from Ann Arbor, Mi on September 2, 2012

Had an Odyssey 2-ball I've been playing with for several years. Bought this a week ago and what an improvement! The ball jumps off of the face of this club. And missing the short putts is a thing of the past. What an improvement! First time out and I' made some putts I wouldn't have made with th older Odyssey. Always pays to get the latest technology (even thought this club is 2 years old .. :-)
Pros:
The feel and it's hard to line up incorrectly.Cons:
Nothing yet.I would recommend this item to a friend.
like butta...
By Muddler from syracuse, ny on August 28, 2012

one day while killing time in a golf shop, I was tinkering around with some putters on the discount rack and found a backstryke marxman in my hands. although at that point I really wasn't in the market for a new putter, it's performance really stuck with me. Over the next few months the regret that I didn't buy it set in. So much, in fact, that when I saw that RBG got a few in I jumped at the deal.
The face is typical of an odyssey and the ball comes off of it softly yet it feels very alive. something about the backstryke design makes it feel more powerful to the point that I've needed to tone down my stroke on shorter puts. I like this because I rarely hit it close to the hole even when I finally get it on the green, so when I'm pounding out a 30-40ft put I feel like i have plenty of leverage to get it to the hole without having to over swing. by toning down my stroke on the shorter puts, I keep my stroke much smoother.
My other two putters that I've been using are a Yes! Olivia and a Yes! Diana. Both of them have been good putters, and I like the advantage of interchangeable weights to balance out my swing. The backstryke is just as balanced if not more so without any need for weighting changes. all in all an excellent, well balanced putter with a soft, responsive face.
Pros:
well balanced
soft, poweful feel
responsiveCons:
nothingI would recommend this item to a friend.
