    I have my shafts. I was rushing home. There was an accident in front of me and I have been on a bridge and will be for 3 hours according to Google. This sucks. No hitting them today.

    I also got a surprise text from Jon today. Wish I could say I was going to hit them like @RoverRick but will get some time with them this weekend for sure.
     
    Snapped this really quick before going back to work. Will get some better pictures soon.

    The time is here! I hope to sneak out and hit at least nine holes today ( shhhh the course is closed) or I’ll go hit the practice range near the  clubhouse!   
     
     
    I can tell you now the New pix clear path is definitely  better with the two orange marks in a  diamond rather than a triangle!

    I plan on getting out Saturday. I am bringing one sleeve of each and that is all for my round.  A true amateur test.

    I tried the XL Ultralite on the Qi10 and it was too much for me, but I figured try the largest one first, right?
    I caved in and used the website sizing protocol, and now have a medium on order and will try that once it gets here.
    I like the tackiness and feedback the grip provides quite a lot.  The quality of the ball strike (compressed/thin/heel/etc.) could be felt clearly, but the feel was still soft.  Excited to try the medium and see if that works better.

    And here she is, side-by-side with my DIY version (@Shapotomous)

    Early impressions:
    The plastic gives every indication of being of adequate strength. The board really doesn't flex, which is good. For the record, I'm currently about 170lbs. The green surface on the PSB is suitably grippy. I like it. Right now (with limited use): I'm liking the little spikey bits on the bottom of the PSB. One of my biggest issues using my DIY board is that it would spin out (the board would turn counterclockwise as I attempted to use the ground in the downswing). I am going to have to give some attention to whether the PSB affects the carpet underneath it. The spring system works as advertised. It's not ridiculously hard to press down, but you notice it. The "audible" indication that you've gotten adequate weight to the front side is there, but it's relatively quiet. Looking forward to putting in some work here. I know I need to get to my lead side earlier in the swing. So I'm going to be doing a lot of sequencing work on this in the weeks ahead. I also have a Stack session scheduled for today, so I intend to do some warming up on the PSB. I'll try to report back with how that affects my speed numbers.

    First Impressions 19/20
    I have been excitedly awaiting the arrival of my Array blade putter for what feels like a month. I got fit at the end of February, and Bryan confirmed our orders on March 4. Edel’s website says that orders ship within two weeks. I received my putter on March 26; the packing slip says that the order was placed on March 7 and checking the tracking number, the putter shipped on March 22, almost exactly two weeks. I deducted one point because I never received any communication about the shipment.
    The box bears the Edel logo prominently on one side,

    and the inside of the box has a very nice, branded liner. The putter was securely fastened with cellophane to a piece of folded cardboard, ensuring that the putter head would remain immobile.

    Perhaps most surprising on opening the box was the included head cover, which struck me as abnormally large. It is well-padded, and has a simple elegance to it, with a black field, the Edel name in script on the end, with Array in smaller font on one side. 

    Assuming I keep this putter, I would strongly consider keeping the head cover instead of swapping out for something else, like the blade cover from MGS’s store. Readers, let me know which one you would rock.
    The head has a black matte finish that I really like. I chose the single alignment line, as I think it provides a stark contrast to the matte finish and makes it easy for me to gauge my direction.

    The back of the head has a clean look with the Edel name on the back of the putting surface, and the Array name and model (B-1) on each side. I don’t like the B on the B-1, as it looks like part of it chipped, but it’s just the font style.

    I chose a single bend hosel, which gives the putter the least amount of toe hang. I found in my fitting that I tend to slightly close the face through impact, so my hope is that the toe hang will help me keep the face more square.
    Edel prides itself in its customization options, both in hosel and weight. The blade’s standard weight is 365 grams; in my fitting, we determined that a good weight for me is 360 grams. I ordered my putter with 10 gram weights, giving the putter a total weight of 355 grams.

    I will pay special attention to my putting speed during testing. If the 355 grams is too light, it would be pretty easy to swap the weights out (assuming I can order them from Edel separately from the putter).
    The putter has a milled face, which I have never used. My gamer has an insert, so I expect the ball to come off the face a bit hotter. 

    Finally, I chose the Edel flat standard grip. I really like the look of the grip, which is understated (much like the head cover). The flat side is textured and reminds me of the milled face, which I think is really cool.

    The end cap is slightly rounded.

    I use Shot Scope tags, and my putter tag does not fit in my gamer putter. I hope that the tag fits the Array, but I also would guess that using the manual putting tracker on my X5 is more accurate than the tag. Problem is that I frequently forget to mark my putts on my watch. 
    With Easter coming up (in my faith tradition, we start celebrating tomorrow, Thursday), I will not be able to really start testing until early next week. I plan to do some speed tests at the practice facility while my son is at First Tee. I will also begin with my own laser alignment tests on my Birdie Ball putting mat. Look for some updates next week!

    @Golfspy_CG2 like @ZackS said, fitting?
    PXG, Evnroll, Edel, something agnostic like CC.  I really like my Evnroll.  When I did the full bag at PXG the putter fitting was pretty solid IMO.  They noted a little left side miss but it was very minor.  The Bat Attack was the alternative to my Evnroll, but I didn't see enough of a difference.

    If you know a local fitter than probably even better. I a fitting at Club Champion which I was happy with but they have their own processes as well so do not do the full Edel process as David Edel designed it. I would still love to do the full process as well to see.

    My main suggestion is a putter fitting, especially the Edel fitting process is really good in my option. I already thought this but was even more convinced on it after my TPT shaft fitting. Jon Sinclair who did the fitting and has been around the business and the tour for many years said the original Edel putting fitting kit is the best he has seen. The only problem with it he said is on the business side as people were not buying anymore putters after getting fit.

    Was able to walk 9 this morning before the weather came in, the threat kept everyone away as I was basically alone on the course which was phenomenal. Shot +8 which was a great start to the season for me. One very lucky birdie on an extremely long putt. My iron play was great but with the wedges around the greens I was terrible. Lucky enough to have plenty of time to go ahead and replay a few bad shots after I finished the hole out.  Very thankful the weather held out and it was actually sunny half the time. I need to try and work on taking more photos while I play, but I honestly keep the phone away and focus on play especially on a day like today with nobody around. Looking forward to a possible Easter Day round if things pan out.
