In hand pics and review now included

Looking for some feedback on this, it looks awesome in my opinion but have not been able to find any info on it. For those who have not seen it go to Callaways web site and check out the tour authentic products and you will see it.

Review

Looks: I really like the look of the bronzed finish. It does help cut glare a little bit, however I think they could have gone a little darker with it. It is the exact same finish as the white hot tour putters. I have been using a 2 ball mid cut down to 34" for about 5 years and like how this head is a little smaller than my putter. It is the exact same size as the white hot xg and the only way you could tell the 2 apart are the finish and insert.

Feel: Much improved from the XG insert in my opinion. From my experience it feels very similar to the tri hot insert which is a lot firmer than the XG. The XG basically feels like a marshmallow to me. They definitely added a little bit of weight to this putter over the XG it feels like, as it is listed at being 350 grams and definitely feel a bit more "head heavy" to me.

Overall: You can't even really compare this to the original XG as the feel on this thing is out of this world to me. It has excellent feedback and the look of it gives me a lot of confidence at address. Coming from using a putter that has a head weight of 400 grams I thought it would be difficult to drop 50 grams, but I think I will have even better control over my speed, especially on really fast greens. I am very pleased with this putter and have a feeling it could be in the bag for a really long time. It is to bad they are not available in golf shops to test because this putter would be a hit. Although the price tag is pretty hefty the looks and performance are worth the cost.

How much are they? Can you order them through an online retailer?

NicholasP · July 22, 2008

Should be available to order through an authorized Callaway dealer, I think suggested retail is in the $320 range.

I like the Divine 2 ball better

got one of those for my better half and used it a few times. It is a VERY nice putter which is why I started looking for a TA 2-ball for myself. Maybe I ought to just steel the divine 2ball.

As far as I know, Joe Kwok is an authorized Cally dealer. You could probably get one through him.

I'm not a big modern mallet style guy but the 2ball rocks; I like the idea of the weight improvement at 350gr's and a firmer insert; must try this one for sure. The Milled Black Series seems a like overkill unless you are a serious 2ball yunkie then it's understandable.
