I wouldn't play you for high stakes Of course, I may be delusional. I was probably a 3 or 4 with my old putter. Sometimes I was pretty good, other times I could 3-putt all day. Once I picked up that putter, I knew it was the one for me; but that being said, I can NOT pick up any other putter and make a decent putt with it. I try every time I go into a golf store; I migrate to the putter section. I would love to have one of the putters listed on the other putter thread, but I know that I would be a terrible putter with any of them; at least until I got use to it. But I have no confidence that I would ever be as good as I am with the Heavy. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am an advocate of "Instinct Putting." Stand behind the ball and determine where the ball must enter the hole. Follow the line the putt must follow back to the ball. Adjust right or left so that I am looking at target line. Step up to the putt along the target line. Focus now totally on speed, while imagining the ball following the line into the hole. Look at the hole while making the practice strokes. Now, focus on a specific point opposite the side the ball must enter. Look at the hole when making the stroke. I tend to give the ball more of a pop, but sometimes on short putts I make a longer stroke and chase the ball to the hole. I care nothing about "the stroke". I am target oriented and that is all that matters. The stroke will take care of itself. 5, How do you rate your putting performance on a scale of 1 to 10? 9 at least on my home greens. need practice on different greens.

But I have no confidence that I would ever be as good as I am with the Heavy. You are in no way delusional. It does not matter what you use as long as you putt well. There are some rally pretty putters out there and most people base their choice on looks and feel. whilst these are important factors, the most important is 'Performance'. The market is moving towards heavier putters and there are more pros than you realise using backweighting.

Luke Donald was putting on a putting show for the ages with one a couple years ago for instance. 2. 35.5", 1 degree upright, standard loft, SuperStroke Ultraslim 1.0 grip. $120 total for a complete custom putter. 3. Two seasons. 4. Method: not really. I was fit using the Ping ap years ago, and used those specs when ordering. It identified me as straight back, straight through, which I've used face balanced putters for some time. I try to keep my hands up high like Steve Stricker, and the longer shaft length actually puts my dominant eye (right) in a better spot for lining up my putts. These specs have worked well. 5. I'll give myself a 7. Definite room for improvment, but its been getting better for a while. I look forward to putting now.

gentleman mongoose Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 OK Stuart, I have to ask now. Can you give us a little more information about where this survey is leading? I'm curious about your objective and how you intend to use the data. If you feel that might taint the results, I guess I can wait. NOT! Sure Kenny, As a putter designer & developer of putter fitting and coaching systems, I am very interested in how seriously people approach their putters and technique. There are patterns which show up and if there is enough response then I can gauge what the trend is and assess how people react to specific factors. For example, a large percentage of putters which have been shortened to less than 33" are mallet putters and are heavier and/or backweighted. This is also a common occurrence on tour. Of the 90 putters which I fitted last year not a single one came out at industry standard (34", 35", combined with a 71° lie angle). I believe that 95% of the result for a short putt is determined before the putter starts moving. This is where a properly fitted putter and better information would help improve performance. I will reveal more later but I really need more responses to back it up.

When I went in, it was right around 35". He recommended cutting it down to 32.5", which I did. When I go back we're going to mess around with some counterweights and check the lie angle. Do you have a recommendation for the best way to check for proper lie angle on a putter?

gentleman mongoose Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 I went for my first putter fitting a few weeks ago. It was more of a retrofit since I love my Ketsch. When I went in, it was right around 35". He recommended cutting it down to 32.5", which I did. When I go back we're going to mess around with some counterweights and check the lie angle. Do you have a recommendation for the best way to check for proper lie angle on a putter? Checking the existing lie of a putter is easy if you have a loft/lie machine. If you do not then a standard lie angle is 71 degrees and comparing your putter to this will give you an idea of what the lie angle is. If you set both putters flat on the ground and line up the tips of the shafts then check the difference at the grip end, on a standard grip size, one grip width is approx 2 degrees in lie angle.
