Looking for some input from the ladies in the house.

My wife is set for her clubs. She plays the TM Miscela SW - 5 hybrid, Callaway Big Bertha 4 hybrid, and Callaway Big Bertha 3 & 5 woods. We recently upgraded her driver from an old Callaway Hawkeye to the new FT-9. She loves her clubs (although she mentions Adams hybrids as a potential next set for her).

The one thing she needs (ok, not needs but wants) is a new putter. She has been using an old Odyssey Rossie. Her height is 5'1" so we cut down the original shaft to a length she felt comfortable with. My guess is it's 31.5 or 32" in length.

Now I see both Odyssey and Cleveland (and I'm sure others) are offering ladies' putters. In addition to them coming stock in shorter lengths, they offer 'softer lines' and 'more feminine' colors than their male counterparts.

What do you think? Good idea? Marketing? Do you use a ladies' specific putter? Any recommendations? I think she would like the Odyssey Divine Line Marxman (she has a preference for mallet putters). Finally, what length would you recommend? I see it comes in 1/2" increments starting at 31". Normally, it would be great to have her try it, but I can't imagine golf stores (even completely women equipment-stocked stores like Golfsmith

) carrying these in different lengths. Plus, I'm thinking of just getting her one as a surprise.
