    Because I'm right/right, I am moving into a Center Shafted putter to give that a go. Consistent with the other straight/straight strokes or face balanced putters......

    If it makes you feel better I'm  right / right. I have a double bend mallet. Odyssey Tank Marksman Fang. This is designed for a straight back, straight through stroke and is face balanced.

    Ricey155 got a reaction from MattF in Shotscope V3   
    I invested in May 21 - watch and tags.  works really well compared to previous unit I had, wear and forget till after the round unless you want to tap the putts per hole etc. 
    stats are good and really helped me move forward. I had a season hitting 3 wood of the tee and distances obviously suffered for 2022 I'm back on form with the driver and hope for more moves towards the holy grail and scratch! 
    good tech and cheap enough to not worry about tbh

    Ricey155 reacted to vandyland in Re-dedicating my life to the art of putting   
    A bit of a dramatic title but I have been on quite the rollercoaster with putting the last few months. To summarize, went from conventional putting to heads up putting, then tried to incorporate a straight back and straight through stroke, then tried to switch to the saw grip, then tried an armlock putter (in store) and finally returned to conventional putting the last few rounds. I have always disliked putting because I felt I was a poor putter and that scoring was too heavily influenced by putting. Well, whether any of that is true or not is irrelevant. Putting IS important and you can't really ball strike your way around poor putting unless you are ELITE (which I am not). So, after getting some good advice from @cnosilin the heads up thread, I had to step back and see if I was a bad putter or if I just had too high of expectations. 
    I used this strokes gained putting calculator for my last two rounds (9 hole and 18 hole, respectively) and found out I was gaining strokes putting. 

    Now, I will admit that the 18 hole round was clearly a good putting day, for the most part. In the past I would have dwelled on the missed 3ft putt and the 3 putt from 40 ft instead of the makes from 12 and 9 feet. 
    So what is the point? I guess I would encourage others to take a look at their putting and see if it is as bad (or good) as you think it is. To get better, I think having consistently solid putting performances is the fastest way to lower scores. So it is my goal to keep getting better at putting or at least have it at the forefront of my practice. Maverick McNealy noted that his rise from obscurity in the WAGR was down to forcing himself to become a better putter by practicing putting FIRST anytime he went to the golf course. 
    To accomplish that goal I have the following tasks/habits I am working on:
    _Commit to practicing 3x times a week with my blast golf motion sensor and a metal yard stick to work on the hitting my starting line (minimum of 75 putts per session)
    _Establish a preshot routine that involves walking off the putt (quickly, we don't have all day here), reading the putt and then "feeling my line". A key here is that I try to spend a lot more time looking at the hole than my ball or my stroke. The more time I can spend softly looking at my target and the intended line, the better chance I have of executing a good putt.
    _Giving full attention to my putts (I have been guilty in the past of just walking up to putts and glancing at the line and hitting them, I would never do that over a 150 yd shot from fwy)
    _Literally remind myself I am an above average putter (using the above data points) and that it can and should be a strength of my game
    _Continue to track strokes gained on putting each round with the understanding that there will be ups and downs. 
    I hope to update this with evidence of me sticking to this plan. I would encourage anyone else who struggles with putting or who has ideas for their own putting progress to participate.

    In my opinion, Shot Scope got it right with the V3
    The size is smaller than my Samsung Watch, all courses are preloaded, and the mapping has gotten better - which means I can still get accurate yardages when hitting blind-shots or have LOS blocked while using my Precision Pro rangefinder.
    Overall, a great product & an improvement from V2

    I was able to get my new V3 out this past week on the course. Simply fantastic. The smaller size is the reason i upgraded, and it is so much better than the V2. Battery seemed a little bit better than the V2 for me, but not out of this world better (my V2 was apparently better with batteries than everyone else). This is an A+ upgrade

    When I used Tour Velvet I had to regrip each year, sometimes my driver & wedges didn't last the whole year. But now that I use the MCC +4 midsize, I get 2 seasons out of them.
