Trying some different weight settings for testing proposes, Had to of course try it with all weights removed, don't recommend, way to light naturally and unstable feeling from anything struck away from the shaft area. Turned into a heel hang putter. More to follow, stay tuned.

Agree never really gave the shaft a second thought, the KBS shaft featured in the runner putter looks good and has a grip on one end, the putter head on the other, pretty much job well done. The KBS website has this to say ",,, to ensure stability, and accuracy on the greens. Designed as a high balance performance shaft that results in minimizing deflection bend commonly found in traditional steel putter shafts on longer putts, along with better distance control and ensuring the ball starts on its desired line. KBS GPS Graphite Putter Shaft incorporates a material that produces the unique and superior feel only felt in KBS Golf Shafts. Stiff without adding increased weight, graphite putter shafts can help the face from “turning” when a putt is struck toward the heel/toe. That will increase any putter’s moment of inertia (MOI) making your putting more controlled on mis-hits." Well, okay then, still not sure it's necessary but I've got it, so all's good.

Anyone else see this on utube? buys a four-piece set off the shelf at Walmart and plays 6 holes even par. Like him or not kind of entertaining 20 mins.

Does putting together Ikea stuff count ?

I'm not a counterbalance putter person but 149g sounds like a lot to me,

That it does, lots of work left for me to catch up to you guys, Koepka almost always cleans the putter face before addressing the ball, good habit to have I suppose, nothing worse than hitting a squirrely putt, looking down and seeing it was caused by a dirty face.

Think its gone till Wednesday around here, but very unpredictable weather forecasting around here.

Runner Blade Style Putter Comparison Pictures. Difference in toe hang, 37 degrees, Face balanced, 7 degrees,

Brief update after a few laps around the putting green with the runner blade. Green conditions; still a bit slow 9-10ish. recently aerated so not as smooth as normal, struck from points on an arc similar distance from the hole. Balls used; Titleist Velocity, Tour Soft, ProV1. Velocity; 11 makes, 1 miss (crap stroke) tad louder and didn't roll as smooth as the others. Tour Soft; 9 makes, 3 misses all just a ball revolution short. Feel and sound definitely softer. ProV1; 10 makes, 2 misses (both pushes). Feel and sound similar to the Tour Soft. Take aways' so far for me. ⦁ Pleased with the smooth roll off the face, Various contact points (nothing to extreme, just a tich off center) still produced a made putt. ⦁ Nothing abnormal about the sound. ⦁ The weight of the putter head feels lighter than what I am used to, may have a greater effect on longer putts. ⦁ The sun glare off the polished aluminum head is a distraction. Next episode will feature 10 to 15 foot range. Disclaimer; your results may/will vary.

It's here, arrived friday, but I was off island, "let the good times roll" so to speak.

Want one for indoor use that doubles as a simulator, I will buy one as soon as I can find someone to convince my wife it's way more useful than her dining room.

honestly, a combination of both, skill of a repeatable stroke, but a putter that fits that stroke, correct length, weight, comfortable grip, Imo, allows you to develop feel, distance control. So as the evolution of equipment marches forward its worth trying to see if its helpful or not. Kind of like the adjustable drivers and sliding weights to dial in your ball flight, if your an inconsistent ball striker probably not going to help much, or the putter grips that are designed to help eliminate excessive hand and wrist movement. That being said, we aren't robots, and mechanics change day to day, as do the feels you register, I think if we have done our due diligence getting equipment that fits our game then it's up to the skill of the player to perform.

If the rain stays away, playing today, wish the runner was here, live look to my testing facilities. Plays on a loop.

That is what the testing is for. We will see.

From 30 feet, excellent, if it exterminates all those pesky 3 putts, could be a keeper.
