Great Putter for Lefties
By Matt from Eastern NC on February 1, 2013

Had an Odyssey Two-Ball, but wanted to try out a blade-type putter. Liked the simplicity of the Yes! Sophia and will not be going back to the Two-Ball putter. Rolls Great!
Pros:
Weight, Grip, RollCons:

Good Putter
By Mike from Robeson County NC on December 18, 2012

Putter has a nice weight to it and feels nice when striking the ball. Very nice roll to the ball. It is very smooth. The putter is for those who are confident and can hit the ball square otherwise you may end up off the green on fast greens. Overall if you are an average to scratch player you will like this putter!
Pros:
Feel
Weight
DesignCons:
Glare

Great RockBottom Transaction, most poorly designed 8802 EVER.
By Ben from Bay Area, CA on August 31, 2012

I have owned 8802 variations all my life and jumped on this deal when I saw it. The putter is very beautiful don't get me wrong, although I think the face is a disaster in the looks and form departments. Like most OEMs (exception is PING), YES does not care or design things for left handed people. This putter was designed for a right-handed, right-eye dominant person who wants to own a beautiful "retro-cool" blade without having to perfect the stroke one need's to use 8802 consistently well.
Like 2/3rds of the population I am right-eye dominant, yet I am left handed (and most lefties are, making them cross-eye dominant). A reason myself and other cross-eye dominant people love low or no offset putters is because we have the ability to line up the face of the putter to the target using just our peripheral vision and w/o head turn (or see the target while looking at the putter face/ball). To sum that up- because the face of a real 8802 is closer to my right/dominant eye, I can "see/visualize the entire putt" as I remain in my putting stance. Crenshaw/Phil: two of the best putters/short-gamers in history-- cross eye dominant--use heel shafted putters w/ low offset (8802 for Ben, 8883 for Phil). It's also why lefties have historically had better short games and an easier time shaping shots (Phil and Bubba come to mind more recently).
This Yes Sophia is NOT low offset. Yes it is heel shafted and promotes an arched path. however, I first got it and was convinced it was fully offset (1 shaft width). Closer inspection reveals that this is just barely less than that (3/4 to full shaft offset leaning towards full shaft). This would be OKAY if the putter had more than 2.5 degrees of loft at its current 72 degrees (very upright)!!! It would be okay if this came standard @ 70 degrees allowing my eye to see the face (I'm 6' tall btw).
Sophia darling- you have an identity crisis. You have the specs of an Anser in a poorly shaped 8802's body. --high offset --a "milled" pattern that does not encompass the whole face -- and the stupidest: a sole design that bulges in the middle instead of remaining mostly flat. You ask me to put at 72 degrees yet when I do so the sole digs into the green on the tiniest of miscues. I can not make my natural stroke without driving the ball into the green and taking it offline. With the c(razy)-grooves, I can no longer make a short toe tap in because I'm worried half the ball will be affected the grooves and half won't (sidespin).
I also contacted Yes about proper way to flatten lie angle, never got back to me and it's been two weeks.
YES... you've effectively destroyed what makes the 8802 such a versatile and nuanced classic for better putters. I now get why you've stopped making lefty Sophias and why Jim Furyk
Pros:
QUICK SHIPPING FROM RBG!!!
Nice finish
Nice headcover
345 gram headweightCons:
345 g headweight cannot be felt thanks to heavy/awful stock shaft
Grip is ricky fowler ugly and peels graphic as you take off plastic
Nothing like the 8802 it emulates
horrible sole design
not enough loft
too upright for so little loft
face grooves limit versatility
urethane face backing dampens feel in a "feel" putter
almost full shaft offset
non-existent OEM support
promotes bad putts and increased alcohol consumption
Yes! Golf- Sophia Blade Putter
By Mike Aguiar from Gloucester, MA on August 14, 2012

This is without a doubt the best putter I've played, in terms of feel, performance and esthetics.
Birdied 2/9 holes this morning, and averaged 2.11 putts per hole. I've never had 2 birdies in one round before, much less in just 9 holes..
Pros:
Looks
Feel
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Sophia
By SW1 from Minnesota on August 10, 2012

Switched back to a true blade after using a mallet for a few years - wish I would have never changed. I love the Sophia; especially at $39.99!
Pros:
I love the weight and feel of the putter.Cons:
I'll be replacing the grip and already changed headcovers - the headcover that it comes with doesn't stay on.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Beautiful texas wedge
By Andrew from Adelaide on June 18, 2012

I actually really love this putter, but to be honest it is not the easiest to use... It is not forgiving on slight off centre hits and it is light, you really need to be a confident putter to use this. But regardless of that, it looks beautiful, and if putting is 80% mental then having a great looking putter is a great start
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Love it!

NICE
By STEVEMOE from the working mans country club on May 14, 2012

I was using all the putters out there. then i found YES. I started out with the diana by yes, got hooked, switched to the sophia and currently my putting has improved shaving strokes off my round. these are high end quality putters that in my opinion are fine for someone like me with a 15 hc.
Pros:
looks great, feels great, rolls straight. Cons:
the grip is great size and feel wise. its colorful and cool looking but after one round of in and out of the bag rubbing against the other grips it gets dirty quick. Dark grips would be better.I would recommend this item to a friend.
