   dave stockton is an amazing putter and coach. he will do great things for nike’s putters and would not have signed with nike if they had not assured him a decent level of control/influence over their putter development.

   dude knows what he is talking about. i was fortunate enough to have a couple hour session with him, his son and laurie hammer this summer and it has helped my putting immensely. if you ever have the chance to chat with him or get a lesson, jump on it.

   Lucas Glover won the 2009 US Open with a Method just a few weeks before Cink won at Turnberry.

   I think Suzann Pettersen also uses a Method, though I don’t think they had come out yet when she won her only major (the 2007 LPGA Championship).

     Stewart Cink also won a major with a Method — 2009 British Open

   Tiger seems to be the only guy on staff that can use that Method Putter. I bet they bail on that and start making a Stockton brand of milled putters similar to Scotty Cameron. Seems like the other guys who play these Methods either don’t like it (Rory switching) or can’t hit the broad side of a barn (Stanley, Watney, Noh)

     I like the idea of the stockton brand from nike, but they seem like to stubborn of a company. they thought they hit it big with this method, problem is it isn’t working for anyone. has anyone won a major with it? maybe Schwartzel did but he isn’t known for his putting either. I know when majors roll around tiger putts like he’s fresh out of that scandal.

       Cink won the British with the Method and Shwartzel won the masters, correct. I think the method line is phenomenal to be honest, its nike though and has a hard time selling. But you are right, If tiger or rory put a few of them together, they might sell..maybe too late.

     It’s not the putter Todd, The biggest difference that these players have experienced since switching to Nike is definitely the golf ball. Tiger still uses the Tour D and these guys are all using the 20XI. ProV1 to 20XI is a radical change. I think the Method line of putters is one of the best putters on the market today, but the same cannot be said about their golf balls (or wedges for that matter).

       Their wedges are unreal. Way better than vokeys. My opinion of course but don’t say Nike’s wedges aren’t good because they are one of the best, no doubt.

         I’ve tried their wedges on a demo day once at my local course and i have to say their great for attacking pins from afar but are terrible when used around the green but other than that i’m a pure nike head and also i love my method core it always has a good forward roll and a nice soft feel to it. i chose the core over the milled one because of feel the core just felt better to me.
