That’s incredibly inaccurate. They don’t require a fitting. They’re also sold in stores now and have been for a while now. They recommend you get fitted, which all companies do now. I’ve spoken with Bill and Sam both and they’ve both said they’ll sell you anything but they recommend a fitting so they can get not only loft and lie but also rotation speed correct. But it’s not and never has been a requirement. Ive used one of their putters. Still have one. I took that putter well, especially on fast greens as it squares itself and maintaining speed is relatively easy with it. This time of year when it’s slower, I use different stuff. Mainly because I’ve got a rack full of putters anyway, but the LAB does exactly what they advertise it stays square to square. You also have to slightly adjust your stance and move the ball slightly forward for it to work properly. That’s because of the forward press on it.

If you want a high powered magnet, go to a scrap yard or a pawn shop or antique store and find an old microwave from the 80’s or early 90’s. The magnets in those are what lots of the vans use and they cost virtually nothing. All the fancy contraptions and devices and an old microwave magnet works better than all of them.

Alright guys, been a while since I’ve posted (been busy with life and work), but I had a question for some of the more tenured forum members (as it appears the archives on the page don’t go back that far). Help me remember because I can’t right now... What was the company from New Zealand that made golf balls that used to post on the forums? He had several lines with kooky names but had the brightest and easiest to see yellow ball I’ve ever seen... his username was “xxxsomethingxxx” inNZ. I can’t remember the whole thing. Was discussing this with some folks earlier and I can’t for the life of me remember the company and can’t find it in searches

Scotty Buttonback Newport I had Centershafted, 2014 squareback that was centershafted, Directed Force 2.1, Scotty T22 Newport 2.

I bought both the Newport and Newport 2 in 34” lengths. I had intentions on putting a ysc in and the grip I like. Needless to say after a 28 putt round I’m not touching the Newport 2.

That’s not a buttonback. It’s just a studio select. It’s a good find for sure at the price, though

Cam Smith -7

One of the most stable putters on the planet is a center shafted putter, the L.A.B Golf putters. Both the mallet and the new blade are lie angle balanced. The brand is formerly directed force putters. Adam Scott used the mallet at The Masters. They’re incredibly stable and the only putter out there that squares itself. im a big centershaft guy. My gamer right now when not using my LAB is a Scotty Buttonback Newport I had converted to true center shafted (most are back from center and have a little toe hang. Mine is dead center and perfectly face balanced, as is the square back I had customized). I’ve got a bunch of different ones in my collection.

Got ot my buttonback back from a buddy I had modify it for me...

Didn’t buy another new but my Buttonback is on the way back from having the neck chopped off and a centershaft spud welded on it. also have a twisty stainless scotty Pivot on the way I won.

Couldn’t buy the Vegas release. It’s literally result 1 from a google search for “jokers wild clip art”.

The Directed Force 2.1 arrived today

Just bought a new Directed Force putter. One of the owners did a remote fitting for me and is a good dude. I wanted to see what the hype was about and Bill and I have been chatting about it. I also talked to Sam about the tech as well and he’s another easy to talk to guy. Real gear heads there. Everyone I’ve talked to that’s tried it said the science is real. Couldn’t resist... and can’t wait till it Arrives.

When you go in PGA Superstore for a couple shoe bags and leave with a TS3 fairway, clothes, a new umbrella, bag and some trinkets... SMFH... thank god they’re renovating and don’t have the full selection and preowned... That’s what shopping the day before a golf trip gets you

Contact Ross at Tour Quality Golf in Broken Arrow AZ (RickyRoss is the forum name you'll recognize). Cheaper than anyone on DLC

The corporate office folks I deal with are their primary club buyer and the events coordinator... Nothing on the other side(s). They're based semi-local to me, though, being as Mr. Blank is the owner and lots of his businesses are Atlanta based (or were).

Last 2 rounds I've woke up with a sore shoulder and taped it up with k-tape. I've been taking a lot of 3/4 let off swings and hitting utility irons off the tee... and have posted 2 of my best scores back to back in a while. And with not so great putting rounds... 37 putts in a 79 2 rounds ago and 75 with 32 putts this past round. Had birdie putts on nearly every hole both rounds. Did get the putter going on the back in this last round including a 12 footer for eagle toclose the round. Should tell me something about course management. Leave myself more full clubs into greensand don't tryto bust everything

Just don't try to buy a Scotty grip (see my previous story), and don't plan on using your player rewards on anything but stuff like tees or towels... pretty much every OEM is excluded and you don't get and points for Ping or Titleist purchases. Their corporate folks are great to work with. I know a few of them and order our tournament stuff at work through them. The store I frequent used to be great but the staff has pretty much all turned over and it's not the same now. The store manager there is great when he's there, but that's rare

Oh I know the folks in Athens would fire Kirby. Because they've done it with our other athletics programs before. The boosters had the AD outed because he got a dui and had a lady in the car and her panties in his pocket. And it was within days. No investigation, nothing. We also have policies where first offenses are 2 game suspensions for players, regardless of what they are. They don't play in Athens. Part of the reason CMR couldn't do more. They hamstrung him with several policies and such.

I'd have bought a couple fairways, a utility iron and 3 dozen balls today. But the store I spend around 10k a year in had new folks at the “clubwork” desk (quotes cause they change every 2 weeks and I wouldn't let them regroup my bicycle) said “we have to install the Scotty grips to sell them to you”. Sorry, y'all ain't touching my putter. I can order all I want from Titleist direct without an account but I can't buy in person... I left everything sitting there and said “have a good day”. I've bought at least 75 Scotty grips there before but they change today? Ended up with 1 dozen avx bought elsewhere instead of the 3 dozen I was gonna buy in there cause that's all the other store had

I bet with buddies and I also do DraftKings. That's about the extent of “betting” on golf

I think I'm gonna buy a dozen AVX on my way home from work Friday. That's when I go back is why I'll wait lol. And I'll end up with either a 5 wood or driving iron in 17-19 degrees

Hotel towel. Probably has a stack of them in the trunk of the rental

The urban situation is a joke. He's guilty as sin and if it were Kirby, I know the guys in Athens would have the cajones to do what's right and fire him. He could've been the driver for Aaron Hernandez's drive by's And they wouldn't do anything. He's scum and has always been a scumbag and anyone that follows college ball knows it
