I NEVER KNEW About This Golf Brand… Now It’s IN MY BAG!
Every so often a brand of golf clubs comes into your life where you wonder how on Earth haven’t I tried them before we are now right at the end of 2023 and we are starting to look at what were the best golf clubs and best golf products
Of the year now it’s not very often that I get a brand that comes into my life that I’ve never heard of before and then I rank it one of the best golf clubs of the year but this golf club certainly changed the way that I’ve played golf
It’s changed the way I’ve scored particularly and it was to do with the best round of my life it was very much the hero story of the best round of my life and I know I’ve hared on about it quite a lot but I couldn’t have the best
Putter of 2023 anything other than this we’re going to talk today about the swag handsome to putter I’ve absolutely love this thing I’d never really heard of the guys at swag before you can see that’s their logo with the skull and the sunglasses on but it’s totally
Transformed how I feel about my putting and for a putter to do that that I’ve never heard of really did blow my mind you can see there’s not a lot of Technology involved in this it’s very much like a Newport 2 shape which I’ve always been a fan of it has fantastic
CNC milling as you can see which makes it feels so good but let’s get down there let’s talk through exactly you can see just how I’ve used it in every round since I D take it out of the bag because of puts like these come on all
Sh come on around the Tiger Woods design Golf Course from the tiger teas and yes that Montage was rather long and yes it was rather self-indulgent but I think sometimes you have to celebrate your wins and you have to celebrate when you’re playing well I feel like I’m
Certainly putting well at the moment with this Putter and certainly on greens like this here at alzora golf club you can really get the ball rolling nicely and I’ll kind of put these down as well in that bracket so I’m doing the best of 2023 spoiler alert these May well
Feature and these balls together with the swag putter just give me the feedback that I feel like I’m doing the right thing give me the feedback I mean if I put a load of golf balls here this is one of the hardest puts on this golf course a double breaker down a huge
Ridge and I feel like as long as I get the right line so we’re going to start this just maybe just outside left I think it’s going to move left then right a little bit at the end but as long as I’m now in my own Zone with this putter
I feel like there’s not a lot I need to do but provide a top quality stroke now that’s a lot easier said than done but when you have a putter that you feel like you can do that with it sort of becomes a little bit easier you don’t
Worry about what the stroke looks like you don’t worry about what the stroke looks like you don’t even really worry about the stroke length because you know the roll is going to be right you know the strike’s going to be right so you’re just thinking about Rhythm and
Tempo and more feel I’m not feel overly mechanic I don’t feel like I’m working on my stroke at all I feel like it’s more when when you give a kid a pen and then just start writing that’s how I feel like with this putter it’s got the
Perfect neck on for me it’s the perfect length for me as well 35 in this wasn’t fitter this was basically a demo putter where the guys were like yeah go try it I would have thrown it but I want to get it anywhere near that water and the grip
For me this Lampkin cter grip is perfect and like I said for me not to know a brand it’s rather strange cuz even before I was doing the whole YouTube thing and reviewing clubs I was doing a lot of golf I was really enjoying golf prod look at that
Roll tiny bit short but on a put like this that roll really gives you the feedback that yep you’re a little bit negative you’re always going to be but the stroke was good so your next put you might be a bit more positive with you see the roll again you see it
Moving a little bit closer to the hole this time that one gets to the hole and all of a sudden from here like tall make percentage from here on this line would be low we’re 25 ft away that one’s a little bit fir hold that line now hold that line
Now but people don’t manage the expectations when it comes to putting we need that line with the pace of the second one and that should be about oh lovely but I really really really could do this all day and having a putter that makes you want to go and practice makes you
Want to get your putting mat out at home work on your stroke work on your roll like I said I don’t feel mechanic here but I might well feel a bit more mechanical at home making sure my big feeling is that as though the putter Works a little bit on the inside and
Then I release it nicely this weighted putter really helps me to do that the neck helps me to do that as I mentioned already and I think it’s just a cool thing as well like if you look at swag’s Instagram you look at all the cool head
Covers and bags they do then you look at the putter range and the wedges range now as well and obviously you tie that in with a little bit of success I’ve drunk the Kool-Aid I’m really really really enjoying myself with this putter that has to oh it’s just this is
Literally you could stand here all day and not made this but we’re having some fantastic efforts and then we’ll talk about five and six Footers because I was always under the impression that if you weren’t a good putter you would go with maybe a mallet for the short puts because they a little
Bit easier maybe a little bit more forgiving maybe you’ll hold more of them I’ve hold more short puts with this putter in the bag than years than years and years and years we’ve missed half of those more than half of them low which is disappointing doesn’t feel like the put should move that
Much there’s the one you turn in now you turn in now but when you do start hauling more puts even from here from 10 ft 10 ft you’d be likely to make half of these at best I think PJ talk make percentage would dictate that as well but I really
Really start enjoying the game start kind of going for more Flags cuz I know I’m going to be able to save myself if I start attacking flags and missing greens I have something to rescue me I’m going to hold a few more six-footers a few more 10f Footers because I’m confident
That is the key word when it comes to Putters and to have a putter as the best of 2023 that isn’t an odyssey isn’t a Scotty Cameron isn’t even a cobra or a Muno or a pxg or a ping even speaks volumes as to how this brand has come I
Really really appreciate what they’re doing I really like what they’re doing I’m a big fan of fine mil Putters I think it’s an an art in itself Scotty Cameron mastered it tulon mastered it with Odyssey I’m not sure what’s happening with that now and now
Swag seem look at that for a roll seem to have mastered it as well and then if you want all the head covers and the Kool-Aid and the bags and stuff like that you can do that so you can start to feel part of this I blocked that one part of the swag
Family part of the community the community that the guys have built over in the states is absolutely huge and I feel like I’m just starting to become part of that Community we are it feels like shelling peas almost and you can stand there and say
You know what James has got a 10-ft put he’s rolling a couple in saying this is a great putter but look at the puts that we hold out on the golf course look at the puts we hold when we’re actually scoring when we’re actually playing and
When we’re in matches as well cuz that’s what counts that’s what for me I’ve gone off and then these puts with the gorgeous roll end over end over end are just spectacular there’s no easy put from this distance your stroke has to be right and just by getting that
Roll I know I can start scoring better and move into next year would I change this put it in 2024 and go and get fitted I honestly don’t think I would just based on I know how I feel when I’m putting with this and I know how I feel
When I’m shooting good scores with it I know what to do as long as the greens are rolling nicely it doesn’t feel like too much of a SLO to get the ball rolling like that guys thank you all for watching I hope youve enjoyed that if you have smashed that subscribe button

I’d automatically say, that’s simply too much for a putter……but I’ve been using the same putter for 15+ years, sooooo 🤷🏻♂️
Your golf game is on fire James! It's fun to watch.
Have a very Happy New Year ,James.May you continue 2024 with more great vids and golf content.And as I have said before,What about a Swag give away!!!
Your channel has become nothing but a commercial.
Unless it’s made of unicorn horn and fairy dust it’s just another milled Anser me too. If Karsten had had a 100 year patent, most of these other manufactures would be hamstrung. The price is the price. I don’t have a problem with that. About the same as a driver and used more often. I tried out a bunch of different ones over recent years with passing success. Then, at the advice of my son whilst visiting him in the States, picked up a Spider X. Harry Potter’s Wand. Been in my bag ever since. Find something that works, feels good, suits your swing and that you have confidence in, then leave it alone and just practice.
Eveey year I wonder how can they make a better club than what's already out there and every year something better comes along.
I need a 37" putter due to height so love a fancy bit of kit for a putter, just ordered a pxg blackjack, see how it feels vs my current fastback
500th👍 #HNY2024!
🏌️♂️⛳️🎇
Yes please
£795 on Ebay. Recon I could make far more in-roads into my putting by spending that on lessons.
Happy new year James and Chris🎉🎉. Thanks a million for all your brilliant content during the past year. The Takomo clubs and the swag putter certainly look like a match made in heaven. What a beautiful sunset.
Man and machine in perfect harmony 👍
I'll stick with my scotty
Too much come on, for me. You are not playing The Open Championship.
How much are swag paying ,James? Other than the free putter.
Looks like a really nice putter but at $555, I think I would pass. 😁 I have not come across a new putter that would make me replace my Odyssey O-works with the Microhinge Face. Gives me the truest roll, still. The putter is from 2017. I have tried other putters but I don't putt any better.
The best putter is the one you have the most confidence with. Price, looks, feel, results are the usual qualifications. If that's a 10ft putt though, you must be the first 9ft player I've ever seen. Happy new year.
Thanks for reviewing a putter I could never afford or survive the wife if she found out!😂🎉
Bye, James. You have drank the Kool-Aid.
Damn! They're like a $750aud Putter, could buy 2 Scotty's from the pro shop with that.
I don't care if others spend that much, but I will not. No matter to each his own.
Have you tried the Kirkland brand of clubs? Irons and driver. I have seen you tried the balls.
Sorry James but turning into a diva with all these clubs 90% of us couldn't afford them
Happy New year James let's go to work on 2024 bring it on .
