Never Compromise Sigma Putter Review:
| Setup & Alignment |   Hard-Avg-Easy |
|||||||
| Setup is very easy. The center-shafted head sets up squarely behind the ball and it is easy to tell if the putter blade is open or closed. The contrasting gray and black body and the alignment line provide a definitive mark and also contributes to the simpleness of this putter. | ||||||||
|
||||||||
| Feel | Soft-Avg-Crisp |
|||||||
| Feel is all dependent on the particular ball being played, but we found that the proprietary "gray matter" center section of the putter softens the feel of even the hardest golf balls. We tested some balata golf balls with this putter and found the feel to be too soft at impact minimizing feedback to the hands. However, any of the multi-layer and soft cover two-piece balls will provide ample feedback at impact. | ||||||||
|
||||||||
| Performance | Less-Avg-More |
|||||||
| The simpleness of alignment and blade design of this putter made this putter excel at putts inside of 10 feet. Straight back and straight forward produces "straight in" results. We thought that we may have trouble controlling distances on longer putts but found that the Sigma performed admirably here as well. The club provided excellent feedback on putts of any length. | ||||||||

| Looks | ||||||||
The black-gray-black head is the best color
scheme on the market today. Add to this the shiny chrome
steel shaft and no hosel and the word "sleek" comes
to mind. Simple straightforward graphics complete the elegant
design. The grip is made by Winn Grips and also features
the black-gray-black color. |

| Summary | ||||||||
| We can see why this putter has found its way in the bags of several touring professionals. The center-shafted Sigma provides a distinctive look and easy alignment with consistent results on putts of all lengths. Golfers that grew up playing a "bullseye" style putter will be able to play this putter with minimal adjustment and benefit from its heavy head and wide sole. Golfers that have played putters with offset will require some adjustment on ball position but should be able to make the switch as well. This was our first center-shafted model to test extensively and we recommend that if you are struggling with the flatstick to give the Sigma a try and see if it can improve your game.
