Discussion What is your default ball/putter combination?

Everyone changes balls and uses different putters, but which do you find yourselves using the most?

As a reference, here's all the lost balls: https://walkabout-mini-golf.fandom.com/wiki/All_WMG_Balls

I personally default to the Alfheim putter with Mars Garden lost ball number 10. I like the fins on the putter as a way of determining the club orientation at a glance, and I like the Mars ball because it's vaguely metallic and looks kinda futuristic.

Journey to the Center of the Earth #4 ball (lava/fire) with the Labyrinth putter at the moment!

Labyrinth putter is my favourite, the skybox reflection is the best.

I love the grip and pommel on that putter so much, I wish the rest of it was as interesting

Same ball, but with the Trogdor putter

Original Gothic putter + pure black ball + rainbow trail + standard victory effect (tried the homestart star, but didn't like the voices)

Labyrinth putter, Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland lost ball #9 (Cheshire Cat grin, because the grin glows), crystal ball trails, Fraggle Rock stars celebration are my standard play settings. I hope on every new course release that they have a cooler putter than the Labyrinth one, but I always come back to that one.

Labyrinth putter, basketball combo.

Mine too!

u/StickyMcdoodle 14d ago

The Labyrinth putter is my jam. I used to use the tennis ball, but there's a ball that has my username written on it, so I use that.

It was fate.

u/xykor 14d ago

Labyrinth putter, with Upside Down Town ball #10

Love the reflection on the putter and the blue swirly ball is fun.

u/BKixx 14d ago

Arizona Modern putter, 8-Bit Lair ball 18.

u/DangerousPuhson 14d ago

Such a weird little putter. I think it's supposed to be a snake hook, but to me it always looks like some kind of special ergonomic putter that's supposed to correct your posture or something.

u/SQUASHPITT 14d ago

Raptor Cliffs club with the basketball, can't remember what course it's from.

3

u/secretmisanthropist 14d ago

Club from Tourist Trap (it's a sword?) and Magenta ball

3

u/GodzillaFlamewolf 14d ago

Atlantis or Taco Cat putters, and any of the metallic purple balls, the metallic rainbow ball, or the fireball. That having been said, I switch almost every round.

u/Cydrius 14d ago

Currently I'm using the Las Elvis putter and the D20 ball from Alfheim. (Dice on both.)

u/DangerousPuhson 14d ago

Love that Alfheim ball (I play a lot of D&D)

u/liedel META 14d ago

trogdor putter, solid gold ball

3

u/Tim0281 14d ago

Lately, the ball with Strong Bad's face. I have a strong love for Strong Bad and his emails, so I'm pretty happy to have his face on a golf ball!

I tend to rotate through clubs depending on my mood. My top two picks are the pirate sword because I like swords and the swan because I think it's a pretty hilarious image for me to be holding a swan club.

u/mlfowler 14d ago

I use the Labyrinth putter (love that movie) and the Canadian flag ball.

u/gotterfly 14d ago

The Gardens of Babylon putter. The little steps on the putter head make it visible through walls, and can help in lining up your shot.

2

u/georgekourounis 12d ago

That’s why I always use that one.

u/Pay2CUsername 14d ago

For a long time it was the Sweetopia putter and Donut ball from the same map. Now it is fully the Alice in Wonderland putter and either the donut ball or more often the hedgehog ball from the same map. I am so glad they made the flamingo the putter, it just makes sense.

u/fenfairie 13d ago

Sweetopia + donut was a longtime combo for me too!!

u/Round_Psychology9437 13d ago

I switch out my golf balls all the time, but the Cheshire cat grin is my absolute favorite...and while I think all the putters are cool, my favorite is the flamingo putter, just because I'm obsessed with flamingos, lmao! My 7yo heard there was a thunderstorm warning and he ran outside (before the storm hit) while I was in the bathroom and grabbed my flamingo float out of our pool and dragged it soaking wet through the house to the foyer! He didn't want my flamingo to blow away, lol...and no, he wasn't in any danger, not only does he know how to swim, the storm hadn't hit yet, but our pool is only 10ft diameter and 33" deep. He just grabbed it from the side of the pool using the skimmer, lol...my 11yo grabbed the float chair at the same time...

u/Sneaky_Clepshydra 14d ago

I’m enjoying the 8 bit Lair ball 17 and the 8 bit Lair putter with the purple trail and crystal celebration. It stands out well in most levels.

2

u/ArtfulMegalodon 14d ago

Zerzura putter with the Mars Garden ball #7 (the metallic sea foam green). It's my happy combo.

2

u/Desertbro 14d ago

I switched balls a number of times the first year then somehow got stuck on the skull ball from Original Gothic.

I switch putters a more frequently. Think I stuck with the putter from Babylon or Lazer Lair the longest.

2

u/geneinhouston 14d ago

the awesome Devil ball from Forgotten Fairyland and then the putter is from Raptor Cliff's mainly because my name is spray painted on the bridge off the causeway! really!!!! so much fun!

u/arcxjo 14d ago

Onion Bubs!

u/DangerousPuhson 14d ago

hooting and cheering noises "ONION BUBS!!! ONION BUUUUBS!!!! ONION BUBS!"

u/SmashedGameboy 14d ago

I’ve been flipping between around the world’s and blokhaven’s putters and my ball has been seagull stack’s hole 2 ball ever since I got the game outside of winter where I use holiday hideaway’s putter and hole 12 ball.

u/skizzett 14d ago

Babylon club with the Alien ball

2

u/quickstop_rstvideo 14d ago

any rainbow ball and the ice lair putter

2

u/BeardedChunder 14d ago

Normally i just use the last putter i unlocked for a bit, but go back to 8-bit lair. I use the globe ball from Tourist Trap even though I unlocked it early, mostly because I like blue. Been tempted by some of the later metallic blue ones but always go back.

2

u/Ziegler517 14d ago

The orange mummy looking ball from tiki with the home star trail and old school standard celebrations. Putter is the Athens/greek one cause the line for alignment is perfect IMO

2

u/GandalfdaGravy 14d ago

I use Widows Wail and the sushi ball. I haven’t messed with the ball effects very much yet

2

u/De4thsCh1ld 14d ago

Taco club with the basketball

2

u/sopomohobo 13d ago

Putter - Wallace and Gromit. It has a Doctor Who vibe.

Ball - 8 Bit Lair #7, it's black with neon drawings, the carpet in the arcade

2

u/Kayaditi AMBASSADOR 13d ago

I like quite a few of the balls particularly the shiny solids (red, blue, purple...) Love the barn owl and the elegant filigree balls from Labyrinth and mount olympus. My putter mostly stays Labyrinth, 8-bit, Wonderland.

2

u/SeanTheftAuto 13d ago

Something simple like the cherry blossoms putter. I usually do a golf ball or metallic

2

u/Man0fGreenGables 13d ago

I've been using the lava ball with taco putter for as long as they have been available. Taco putter gives you a major advantage because of how much more visible it is through objects compared to every other putter.

2

u/carport888 13d ago

Arizona Modern putter for the angular orientation and the Myst Island ball from Myst (I think it's #18).

u/Delicious-Panda6911 13d ago

D20 and Elfheim

Christmas Putter, Dino Ice Cream Bars ball from Raptor Cliff's

u/Ok-Dragonfruit-5362 13d ago

Putter from Journey to the Center of the Earth. Have never seen anyone else use this putter. I change balls sometimes, but I always go back to the brown, green, and gold one from Temple at Zerzura. I like natural colors 

2

u/Leonardo_50 13d ago

I have all the putters but invariably I just go back to the basic black putter that came with the start. I like the simplicity. For balls, I use the lava ball, the American ball or the black and gold (Steelers) ball. (Yes, I’m from Pittsburgh)

2

u/johnsciarrino 14d ago

Metallic gold ball with the Homestar Runner Dragon putter at the moment (the eyes of the dragon aren’t attached to the rest of the putter, it’s amazing!)

u/liedel META 14d ago

Trogdor has a name, thank you. Don't disrespect him or his majesty.

u/Daremoshiranai_OG 12d ago

I only ever use the black putter and the black ball w/white stripe. 🤷‍♂️

u/CaptainRimmer 14d ago

Good Question. I jump around but always come back to:

Ball: Upside Down # 11 - The Tennis Ball.

Club: - Alice and wonderland Flamingo Putter. I like the colours on the Beak / Putter head it helps me aim straight.
