Birdsboro I never got along with center shafted either. I had a couple of good rounds with some CS putters borrowed from friends, but basically 1 good round and then back to horrible. The shaft being stuck in the center just ruins the sightline for me.
My buddy does have a Backstryke putter that I seem to roll well for some reason. I liked the feel of the LAB putters, but couldn't line them up...they are fugly IMO. I did try the PXG version and I was making everything, but in my experience the putters that are money in the store are the worse once you actually buy them.
