For all you DECADErs, you will be familiar with the putting combine in the app. The EAS 2.0 tied my all-time low on its first attempt with 30 putts and was the only time completing the combine without a 3-putt. All of the pins were put away from the practice green, so I was putting to tees I setup around the green which also made for a smaller target. 
Very impressed with the putter performance so far. The quality of the headcover is the best I have seen on any stock putter. The row of magnets along the back seam for blade covers works great and is strong enough I can stick it to my irons while on the green. Hoping I can sneak in one final round this week at one of the last 5 or 6 courses open in the area.

3 putted my first hole after no warm up with practice green closed for winter which was mostly due to not factoring in the uphill. Finished with 16 putts (on 6/9 GIR AND 2/3 up/down) and didn’t miss another putt inside 8’ after the first hole. Which included a lot of shaky comebackers from around 5’ after hitting lags past the hole. I guess maybe I will stick with the lighter weight in the putter which was ordered incorrectly.  
Shot an even par 36 after nearly rolling in an albatross on a par 5. This could be that one special putter I finally settle down with and start a family of little putters. 

20 foot putts averaged about 0.1R for ball launch direction. All other distances averaged from 0.1-0.8 L for the session

I didn't do the Analysis as I was a bit short on time but will get more results up in the coming weeks. I struggle with lighting in my house where my tvs/monitors are located and get a lot of missed face/path reads. Not really interested in setting up a spot light to help with this. The ball launch data did have some variation both right and left. My typical stroke is a push out across the target line with a closed face and this putter did have a left miss tendency similar to others. I've mostly given up on trying to zero out my path or have a symmetric arc stroke. Especially if the is geared towards a "Linear" stroke in Edel terms. 
1 putt stood out: I made a 30' putt that started 0.3L of center. It only dropped in due to perfect speed. I missed 2 other 30 footers with 0.3 degree pulls during the same session and I believe this is the only time I've ever made a putt at this distance and amount offline. 
The distance control stood out significantly compared to the start line/aiming performance which is the emphasis of Edel's fitting philosophy. Pretty excited to get that dialed in as it performed well in this area during the fitting. I usually struggle with aim on the Exputt as I try to set the ball somewhere in the hitting area that allows me to use one of the dashes as a target at the far end of the mat. On the course I find a blade of grass or some mark in front of the ball to align the face. 

Day 1 and the EAS 2.0 had a strong showing on Exputt. No putt outside 4.5’ on 5-50 footers and what feels like the tightest grouping I’ve ever had or close to it. Not bad for the first time ever using the putter outside of the fitting. 9 holes later today. Fingers crossed for 15 putts or less.

Unfortunate to see these new mats still have the groove issue. Putts shouldn't be double breakers on your living room floor. 😪

For me, he measured where the tip of my left thumb sat on the grip and inserted the weight at or below that distance. I assumed it was to align the weight with the right (lower) hand to slow that down coming through impact. 

Yesterday I was fit into the 2.0 with a backset hosel. It took nearly 1.5 hours after finishing up with putts outdoors to further dial in head weight. Their philosophy on counter balancing while keeping the head light is interesting. I just did the math in my head and realized there is probably 210g of weight in the grip section of the putter between the 100g round grip, 50g optivibe weight, and 60g counter weight. I came into the fitting thinking my EVNROLL ER2 was heavy with the gravity grip weighing in around 110g… I guess thar was predominately due to the 370g head. With Edel I was fit indoors to a 345g head with the strong test, but that didn’t work well outside on actual greens. So we bumped the head weight up to 20g for 355 total. The putter really felt point and shoot, excited for it to come in and start working with in on Exputt.

Would like to see how this measures vs a cheaper Caddytek laser and if the GPS is comparable to 18 birdies or Shot Scope. My playing partners will be thrilled when I measure distance with 4 different devices.
