Mine shows left rough, fairway, and right rough and Doesn’t reference yards

I agree all those things are important and toe hang is just a by product of a proper fit. I can have two putters with the same toe hang and for example if the total weight is different you may get different performance. I don’t think you should pick a putter solely based on its toe hang. The coach that taught me about putters showed me captured data on how all these design characteristics influence the rotation of a putter and how you can change them to I’ve the start line left and right. Edel fitting addresses visual cues on the putters All design things are done to influence how the person sets up and swings the putter. Obviously what I have described in this and my other posts are very mechanical type things. Some people would rather just find a putter that feels good and looks good and build their stroke around that. Lots of good putters in both camps.

typically for straight you will see putters where the shaft does or would intersect the head closer to the middle and for stronger arcs more toward the heel. You can then influence if the putter stays closed or open to the arc with offset; head weight will influence the speed of rotation, and when you look at different putter styles (mallets and blades) weight placement will influence rotation.

The theory is based on keeping the putter square to the putters path. Arc doesn't change based on the putter; arc is established by how far a player stands from the ball. If you stand closer to the ball the arc will be less than someone that stands farther away. The toe hang actually slows the closing of the face as the stroke starts to move forward. There are lots of other design factors that influence the putters rotation and like shafts people respond differently to different weights and toe hangs so there may be slight changes to the stroke. Ultimately since the face angle has the largest influence in the direction a putt starts you adjust the design features to help return the putter face to the necessary impact position. Square at impact isn't always ideal either since most strokes have a bias to the left or the right so the player may need the face delivered slightly open or closed.

The myth is that everyone should have their eyes over the ball; you could be a person that needs their eyes over the ball. Golf instruction has changed and putting instructors aren't teaching that you have to have eyes over the ball. The post I quoted was saying that it is a must.

"eyes over the ball" is a myth and is bad instruction. Putter length is driven by posture and setup; stand up more and you need a longer putter. Some people setup to minimize discomfort. Newer instruction is about setting up to help eliminate parallax error and a better visual of the line. If you are starting the ball on your intended line and hitting it the desired speed you have an issue with reading greens. I'd go with Aimpoint Express.

I pitch/chip and putt prior to a round and maybe hit 5 balls with a full swing but mostly no full swing warmup

Glad to see another forum regular getting the win. Congrats @Rickp

Those are pretty cool.

Pros don't make that many long putts. I don't know what you are considering "long" but the chart below shows some actual numbers.

@BIG STU you are probably the best person to answer this. I did a web search for averages and here is what I found but obviously how it actually feels may be different.

There is no standard length or lie angle so generically saying +1" and 2 degrees up may or may not be right for the club you choose. Are your driver/woods/hybrids "+1” and 2 degrees up"? Best option is hit the club and see what accomplishes your gapping and distance goal. If you don't want to hit something, your guess is as good as ours.

A right triangle calculator will give you the answer. Given b=6 (distance from ball) and c=35 (length of putter), ∠α = 80.129° (lie angle) Given b=5 (1 inch closer to ball) and c=34 (1 inch shorter putter), ∠α = 81.543° (lie angle)

Based on watching the coverage the past two days, Tiger was playing that bad.

Thanks, just remember them coming up with the idea to stop the old guys who just withdrew. Was looking at some other articles and saw that other majors appear to have an age restriction tied to the exemption period although not sure anyone would actually be exempt and meet the age limit. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/masters-2019-when-is-it-time-for-a-masters-champion-to-say-goodbye-to-the-masters#:~:text=Victors of the Open Championship,tournament in 1977 and 1981.

Doug Ford, Gay Brewer and Billy Casper were asked discontinue active participation because they were no longer competitive. Brewer was so offended, he refused to show up for this year's Champions Dinner or even attend the tournament. Sandy Lyle will be the next one not allowed to participate as he will be 65 next year. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2002-04-26-0204250875-story.html

@GaDawg saw this and it made me think of you

Not always; only until they are 65 or they implement a new rule.

I was going to test it today but forgot too. It would have been a realistic test of someone needing help . The guys at HQ weren't impressed but they are all decent golfers.

I always liked those prints; you can apparently get any course done. https://www.etsy.com/shop/AllOverTheMap18?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=829147853

See lots of interesting things on this course. Hideki just hit a 3/4ish wedge from on the green and was still short of the hole. Some of the Greens are pretty big.

Early feedback: Even if you just want a GPS it is a nice product. If you want shot tracking and are willing to put in the effort it is a great product.

there is a thread on the forum that people provide their Instagram handle and allow us to tag them in giveaways; since most require that you tag people. Some of us are part of a chat group where people share the giveaways they find and what they have won.

We have a group on Instagram and there have been quite a few winners of the various giveaways.
