How Good Is The Axis 1 Joey?

Following is my review of the Axis1 Joey putter.  Couple of housekeeping notes before I dive into the review.  I want to be clear that this review is just that.  It does NOT mean it's the ONLY putter that you should use.  There are many quality putters on the market.  I have been using the Axis1 Joey for one year now.  Prior to switching to Joey1 was gaming a Circle T Scotty Cameron Newport 35". The review will be brief.

The Axis1 Joey is a fantastic putter for one simple reason, the technology works.  According to the website the Axis1 is the first 100% perfectly balanced putter in the game.  How do they accomplish this?  With a patented weighting system that puts the center of gravity right on the the center of the striking face and perfectly aligned with the axis of the shaft.  So what does this mean?  Less torque with the putter.  Meaning an Axis1 putter will not open up going back as much as other putters on the market.  The Axis1 website has a detailed report about Putter Torque Ratings and provides a detailed report on how the test was conducted and the results.  


The benefits I have seen since switching to the Axis1 putter:
  • More consistency from long range.
  • I have made more putts from the 12-18 foot range 
  • The ball rolls better/more true with this putter
Now with all that said I will say the Axis1 is one funny looking putter!  I admit, at first I was skeptical that another 'mousetrap' was getting pumped out to the golf channel.  Why did I try it?  I will try anything once because how do you know if a product is good or not without testing it?  To solely base a product off look alone is shallow.  The Axis1 putter is a putter that needs to be tested in order to see how stable it is and how much better it rolls the ball.  I have sold 8 of them solely based off the customer taking the putter to the putting green and trying it.
