Feedback
What happened to Mr. Doug's Putter Talk? I used to like interacting, reading and seeing pictures of putters from all the different putter makers.
Feedback
I believe Doug wanted to focus on other things and just shut it all down. Not sure if everything was lost, if it was that sucks.
Feedback
There was never any official announcement. I believe it started as a botched maintenance job that resulted in the whole thing never making it back online. But again, there was never any announcement. Which I think is very disrespectful to the people who posted there over the years (like me).
Feedback
Every once in a while, there is some chatter of reviving PT. Yet, nothing materialized so far.

Introduction
- From their weight-studded 0311 irons to their GEN4 woods with eye-popping crowns, many of PXG’s clubs have a look that demands attention. If you want to take advantage of PXG’s technology without putting that kind of spotlight on your game, consider adding the Battle Ready Closer to your bag. This traditional looking putter hides technology that makes it as forgiving as …
Looks
- When I reviewed the PXG Battle Ready Blackbird [HERE], I made note of how impressed I was with the original design. A vocal group on social media disagreed with me, so I’m sure they’ll love more traditional Closer. At address, the Battle Ready Closer is a widebody Anser. The top line is quite thin compared to the long shoulders and bumpers which gives it a precise, finely-tuned lookwher…
Sound & Feel
- A few months back, we ran a Golf Myths Unplugged about the influence of sound on feel [read it HERE]. This test helped me to recognize how the sound and feel of a club don’t always match, as is the case with the PXG Battle Ready Closer. When I first started rolling the Closer, I thought that it was much firmer than the other Battle Ready putters. What I realized after a little more time wa…
Performance
- The idea behind a widebody Anser is to take the classic design and make it more forgiving. With the Closer, PXG took things up by an order of magnitude through the use of different materials. Most of the Closer is made of aluminum, a relatively light metal. In the sole there’s a C-shaped block of high density tungsten that pulls the putter’s center...
Conclusion
- The PXG Battle Ready Closer is another step forward for players who want to take advantage of technology without giving up classic aesthetics. Though it looks like your average widebody Anser, the performance of this putter is anything but typical.
