Features
This putter has a full-face polymer insert that is 85 percent lighter than steel and offers a soft responsive feel and increases the putter head's MOI (Moment of Inertia) for a truer roll. The weight savings from the polymer face is redistributed to the heel and toe for more stability in every stroke. Each putter face is machined milled flat to precise tolerances to enhance accuracy and predictability across the club face.
Types
Different putter styles are available to accommodate player preferences. There are six different Nike models with different heads and each comes with a Winn Advanced Integration Pistol Grip.
Benefits
The lightness of this club, which allows more feel to the golfer, is the greatest benefit this putter has to offer. It still has a weight distributed in the head for smooth follow throughs, but it's not as heavy as other putters because this putter line is for inexperienced golfers. What golfers get from this putter is confidence, knowledge and practice so they can putt better. The putter is designed with plenty of forgiveness, that way a golfer is not out there with five or six putts.
Considerations
Consider looking at other putters, even if you are a beginner golfer. It's light weight, but still a little too light weight for a putter, where it doesn't actually have the feel it advertises. Sure, most can putt with it, but each golfer has a preference, so try the putter before buying it, or at least, try the different models available in the Ignite lines.
Comparisons
Beginner putters are available from most other manufacturers except Odyssey. The latter is the most expensive, but as well as the most known line, but those are putters for more experienced golfers. Nike, Ping, Tour Edge and others offer putters for golfers, who not only play on a budget, but again are starting out on the course. With the available options from all the lines, it's best to research before settling, even on a beginner putter.
