The quality of most of the videos is not clear enough to say. People report that he and others braced their putters. The stroke in that era was primarily a pop stroke and it seems like the forearm could be and is some cases was braced against the leg. Just like you say Bernhard Langer anchors and I am saying Spieth and Horschel anchor. Maybe they do maybe they don’t; we often see what we want to see to support our position . My point was that bracing a putter or body part against the body is nothing new and has been around since as Faxon said “golfs forefathers” played the game. These players Also improved club design to make them more effective and perform better. In my opinion the call to ban them is strictly due to appearances. The call to ban has nothing to do with the spirit of the game or what golf was like 100 years ago. I am not saying one is right and one is wrong. I personally think that anchoring and armlock should be allowed. You believe the opposite. There are many people on both sides of the discussion. At this point I don’t see any overwhelming reason to change the rules. In my opinion while it provides some additional stability, the grip isn’t locked in any more than a normal grip can be since it does not inhibit all wrist movement and the end of the putter can be altered based on wrist and hand movement. I also don’t think that the rule can be written clearly enough to cover all possible scenarios. We can continue to go in circles on the discussion as I doubt that anyone will change their mind on the topic. Unless we have some additional evidence; not opinion, to show why the rules should change this topic has pretty much run its course in my mind.

I don’t think the tool tells you to stop playing the ball. The tool provides information gathered from an assessment of golf balls. You determine how to use that information. If you like the bridgestone ball, it does what you want performance wise, and is available then continue to play it. If you find the ball performance to be inconsistent from ball to ball then you can use The chart that maybe rates a little better

No

I was wondering if I should post pictures, but Adam didn't tell me that it was under embargo

Updated the post to show the pictures; tapatalk does a bad job posting pictures from links. Just search for one of those players, you should be able to find a video. 80* is max vertical you can go with a putter, Bryson may be in that range, but I think most others are more standard lie angles.

It is a Bellum Winmore. Company doesn't exist anymore but apparently one of the owners is selling off some of the putters on eBay. he has been customizing them so I reached out to see if we could come up with something. Stock putter was too heavy and based on what he was doing on eBay I made some customizations. Heel and toe have been cut off, going to soften some of the edges and torch it as dark as we can get it. He started on it today and should have it ready sometime next week. Hard to tell in the picture but it is a black camo pattern. I am guessing that is some of the new merchandise that will hit the store soon. I think there was also a valuables bag, alignment stick covers, and black putter covers.

Got some new headcovers and getting a new putter customized.

The top fantasy teams in the league make the fantasy playoffs which correspond to the fedex playoffs. That means the number of available players goes down each week. The more of those players on your roster before The playoffs start the better you should do. However those top players may not play every week so you need a roster that will qualify you for the playoffs. It is a balancing act.

This is why fitting is so important light shafts may result in a lack of Control and hitting the ball all over the face. A heavier stiffer shaft may result in center contact resulting in more distance even though swing speed may be slower

Kuchar isn’t very upright Bryson and kuchar are right hand low. Pretty sure Keegan and Webb are as well.

Part of the enjoyment of these threads is learning more about golf. Faxon talked about golf forefathers not wanting people to Putt that way. Some research indicates that during the 20s and 30s many players anchored the putter to their leg including Bobby jones. Didn’t feel like search the USGA archives for the video http://www.myusualgame.com/tag/rule-14-1b/ There was a method called DIEGELING where a conventional length putter was pressed into the belly. This method was used in the 20s by hall of fame golfer leo Deigel. http://theaposition.com/edtravisgolf/wp-content/uploads/sites/65/2015/12/Leo_Deigel_large_640x480.jpg Croquet style was not outlawed because of its effectiveness but because of appearance. In the 80s Johnny Miller used an “arm lock” putter. https://www.golfchannel.com/news/how-it-all-began-history-long-putter

How do you differentiate and verify touching vs pressing?

So we go back to Horshel and Speith having an illegal grip under your rule because their fingers press against their wrists. You now allow Langer and Scott press their forearms against their body with the broomstick. I can brace my arm against the side of my body which is currently illegal. How about disabled golfers with no hands?

The tool is a standard wrench that is commercially available at a hardware store. While there may be a weight that fits, both Callaway and MLA have different weight kits based on the model of putter so you would have to find the right size and thread pattern.

While MGS probably doesn’t fall into a category that mandates compliance, you have a valid point about making the content more accessible to individuals with disabilities. I would suggest you reach out directly to MGS. https://mygolfspy.com/contact/

Bracing the arm creates a fixed point the putter moves around. Are You also proposing against a players arms touch their sides when they are setup with your rule modification? Based on what you said above this would also be anchoring. Could you write the rule as you think it should be written; I’d like to see how you would phrase and define everything.

Belly putting utilizes the end of the grip as a fixed point that the club moves around. It is anchored to that point. I’m arm lock the grip running up the arm does not create a fixed point. Anchoring in the golf definition is basically a single fixed point. Think of a boat with an anchor. What single fixed point does the club touch and move around in armlock?

People react differently to how clubs are setup. There are Multiple settings on the club that you are asking about. Whether it seems right or not, were the results better with the fitter suggested settings? The purpose of that setting was to get you better results with how you currently swing the club. As others have mentioned if you have a big slice not setting will turn that into a straight flight or draw. The only “real” way to fix a slice is to change the club path and face angle. Those setting won’t impact backspin either. To fix that problem you need to alter thinks like angle of attack and dynamic loft.

This is one of the reasons I like volunteering as a walking scorer; you get to hear those interactions. The player and caddie work together to assess what is in front of them. They typically all exchange this type and amount Of information. Having gone through the DECADE videos, I realize the information they were exchanging was pretty basic as all the decisions were pretty much predefined. The announcers are there to build drama and convince the viewers that players are making emotional decisions and not emotionless mathematical decisions. These formulas are designed to produce the best option for success. Announcers and their commentary is just comical especially when that talk about 100 yard shots missing by a foot; PGA players are not that good.

Same in my eyes. The shaft is locked into an area above his hands. The lead wrist is bowed locking the right hand and shaft into and above above the wrist. But if that grip is okay, With the longer shaft if just extends beyond his hands and runs along his arm. There is nothing locking the shaft to his arm. If the player with an armlock putter were to flex, bow, ulnar deviate, etc the wrists and hands the putter shaft would come off the arm. With anchored putting the end of the shaft was locked in place and would prevent the butt end from moving left, right, up, or down. Essentially the end of the shaft became a fixed point.

nope, sold yesterday.

Nope what?

It is not anchoring because the rules say it is not anchoring. Providing player names that don't like it won't change peoples minds. We could get into politics and quote what they think is right and wrong but that doesn't mean things change.

He is bracing his right hand against his wrist; or as we are calling it anchoring. Its purpose is to stop the putter from rotating; he is anchoring the putter to his wrist. I think Spieth's grip is illegal too; when he forward presses his fingers are braced against is wrist. And I don't think the golf founding forefathers ever considered left hand low as a possible grip. Brad Faxon isn't going to change my opinion. I am fine with the grip; the end of club can freely move and isn't pressed against his arm; it doesn't prevent his wrist from breaking down, and it doesn't prevent his arms from rotating.
