For me - my Odyssey Back Strike putter- I've been putting well for 15+ years with it!

Like most it seems - I rotate. Early morning times I have the solid water proof Adidas or Puma, and on dry days/afternoon tee times I have a mesh Puma. Any shoe that is no longer waterproof - they become my lawn mowing shoe!

Playing in a scramble - par 5 - last man to go. 227 yards from the pin, on pine straw inside the tree line. I hit my 22 degree hybrid to 4 feet - the EAGLE has landed! God I wish I could bottle that purity up!!

I have to say- I tried the PXG Balls this spring - they are fantastic. I usually play the ProV, but I seem to have more distance and control with the PXG. It's a clean looking ball and $10 cheaper. It's just my opinion obviously, but I'm sticking with the PXG this year.

If I play a course that has a range, I'll smack a small bucket. The course I generally play on the weekend has no range - so we all just swing away!

I use my 4I to punch out of trouble - hate that stick!!

I walk- I always play better when walking! Unless it is a scramble fundraiser of course!

Every year the new model comes out- every year the promise of distance!! Promise of control! Promise of piercing ball flight!! If the distance REALLY grew 5 yards every year as promised, we'd all be averaging 400+ yards by now. My opinion - stick with what lands you in the fairway the most and spend the $600 on tee times & beer!!

I'm in Boston- if it is really chilly- say before 45 degrees- I go directly into my wife's bag and steal her women's golf balls- lower compression evens it out a little!

I don't like to "take some off" - I tend to pull it when I do. Choke up (don't forget you are choking up to dodge the skull) and go get it!

Back to the target... chest to the target.
