I started 5 months ago using the retro, and am use to it and control it as well as I need at this point of my game. I can see it still being my putter going. I love what I can do with it. Shame it stunk for you.
They're a bunch of sweethearts at Latitude 64. Interesting, I like the comparison, it's a good reference. The Pure I just got was the Gold plastic. The feel wasn't quite what I expected, I thought there would be a touch of gumminess (I'm not sure why). I'm going to keep practicing with it. If I grab another I think I'd go with Opto.
I putt zero medium and throw opto. The opto is honestly as advertised, and one of my favorite plastics. I'm thinking about getting some zero hard pures for putting - feels like the zero medium has beat in like crazy. I might be expecting too much though.
I have that exact same set up my self! I too am thinking about switching to a harder putter, but the other part of me feels more confident holding a zero medium when I putt.
I putt with the Pure and throw Maidens and have them in nearly every plastic. I use them all for field work and have tried this same experiment and found that, much to my surprise, the Zero/BT Medium was the best for throwing accuracy and distance. I don't like the feel in my hand for throwing, but in both molds it consistently is the best plastic for throwing. I find Retro the best for putting.
Zero Medium/Soft I'm finding to be the nice touchy throwing putter. While the harder plastics (retro, hard, opto) are nice for off the tee or longer distance shots!
There’s also super soft and eco zero
THERE'RE SO MANY 😆

The Opto felt great! I wish I had the opportunity to try the gold out though!
