congrats @blackngold_blood.

Thanks for clarifying.

This is just how it goes; some putters work better for our strokes than others. There are other differences as well. The biggest is probably headweight (345 vs 365), loft (3 vs 4) which would influence distance control and launch. The 1" probably gives you a different setup unless you choke down on the ghost, The grip impacts rotation and the SS is probably lighter. Insert vs milled is more of a personal preference and won't impact startline. This is just something that you need to practice over time. But it does seem like the Corza might be a better fit for your stroke.

First round post surgery and while the temps were in the 80s breeze was about 20+ and it was cart path only. Hit a wall about 7 holes in and was pretty exhausted; guess I am still not 100%, got a second wind about 4 holes later but was still pretty sore. Struggled were mostly with the tee shot and hitting big slices. Iron play was decent, but it is hard to hit from behind trees 5 FW, 10 Greens, 36 putts ( 2 three putts). 44/39: 83.

well I finished DFL. Was fun while it lasted.

Beautiful day today so I went to the range to get some reps and a video of my swing. Started out a little rough but by the end I was striking the ball pretty well but still had a tendency to hit the ball off the toe. Here are the videos I sent to my instructor.

Don't know what is going to be in the most wanted wedge testing, but you are probably a few months out from that. Players Distance just finished and I am pretty sure GI is up next.

Have fun in your clinic and hope you figure out how to get rid of those doubles.

Let's be correct if you hit into a red staked penalty area, one option is to drop from the point the ball crossed into the lake. Also you are most likely giving up some distance as the ball doesn't stop when it crosses the line for the penalty area. Why not go drop at a point even to where the ball stopped?

Are you going to share where you found them?

i only got 2 picks correct so I am basically eliminated

We are talking about changing the rules to get relief from a divot. I consider the one the left to still be a divot since I can clearly see the outline where the grass was replaced.

Here are the options for a penalty area: https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules/rules-2019/players-edition/rule-17.html Stroke and distance is an option. While the illustrations show you going back into fairway by taking the line from the hole through the spot where the ball crossed the hazard, this isn't always the case. It is possible that this line could take you into woods or even OB; making the stroke and distance option the preferred option. And if the stakes are read, you can drop 2 club lengths from where the ball crossed the line but again you need to consider options. Always look at your options with the rules, sometimes stroke and distance may be in your favor.

Another Bruce Sizemore company. Similar wedges from Bruce were in the 2017 most wanted testing and were bizarre to hit. They kind of messed with your mind and swing which made it difficult to hit a normal wedge. The protocols actually had us hit a few shots with a normal wedge to get our swing back. Played one of his center shafted putters back in 09-10 timeframe. All of his designs are pretty interesting.

And we differ, I consider it still a divot I’m taking relief.

You keep referring to this as a double penalty. There is only one penalty stroke. The type of penalty then identifies drop procedure. If you hit the ball in a lake stroke and distance is an option. That may be the preferred option instead of dropping back on the line of relief. Only a red staked penalty area allows lateral relief.

Based on that it could be argued that stroke and distance is the way OB should be handled. If you want to avoid a stroke and distance penalty don’t hit the ball OB. It is simply the way the rules are written; just like the fact you have to play from a divot. As the rules change to handle more bifurcation , mAybe they will change the rule for OB.

But here is a picture. Is the one on the left a divot? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kao364t9DVI/U_NkjGZyRaI/AAAAAAAAAhs/F1xua_S7Q8E/s1600/Divot%2B1.jpg

If you get to the point of needing pictures, the rule isn’t written clearly enough as there is too much interpretation. It isn’t that people disagree with your perception, the hard part is writing the rule with enough clarity.

It is about grass height? Grass grows in holes and when cut can be fairway height but the ball can sit below the edge of the divot. For non Bermuda courses where the turf is replaced and grass still exists; if the ball sits In a depression between the edge of the replaced divot and the fairway am I in a divot? Should I be allowed to move my ball off the pelt of grass and turf; it isn’t attached to anything? Is a bare spot with no grass a divot that hasn’t recovered? Probably still need more detail In your written rule.

There are many people that feel the same about stroke and distance penalties. The difference between OB and a penalty area is that you may hit the ball from within a penalty area and OB you cannot. Perhaps it does warrant a more something more penal or since so many people are against the rule it will change one day. I am assuming you want all stroke and distance penalties eliminated. If so, How would the rules be written for a lost ball since there isn’t a line that was crossed.

If it is summer, greens should be faster or are you a dew sweeper? [emoji23] Wish I could figure out some value in those other modes; I spend all my time in practice mode working on line and distance control. If I could manually set the slope it would be perfect. Guess I’ll need to save up for a putt view system or hope a future release of the exputt adds that capability.

I’d probably only use them for putting practice. I didn’t look at cost, but probably just as easy and cheaper to blackout half of an existing ball. Plus people would prefer to practice with the Ball they play with. If it was my gamer and I used a line to align the ball it would be a nice benefit to not have to draw the line and it provides a good Visual on ball roll.

After day 2 4 of my of my picks to move on have been eliminated.
