Onestoptech Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I would prefer to never 3 putt. My driver mid to short game are good. my long irons and putting are my weaknesses. That's why I decided not to go pro and stayed amateur when I was in playing in college. My putting has always struggled when I matters not so much when practicing or playing with friends. I was the last group for winning a national title with a par 18 to go I drive the green and 4 putted to lose by one stroke. Most embarrassing moment of my life at that time.

Jackal Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I'm surprised no one has said " Go with a 300 yard putt". Sometimes I putt too hard anyway.! Stuka44, Shapotomous and Malaka 2 1 Quote Always chasing different clubs Link to comment
Stuka44 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 OK.....I voted earlier for 300 yard drives, I've changed my mind. Since then went out on an easy course in my area. Through first 7 holes I had 4 pars, and 3.. 3 putt bogies. I don't want to 3 putt anymore!!!!!

DubiousPro Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 How long is the course? if I'm on a 6,000-6,500 yd course, 260 of the tee is perfectly adequate. Allow me a made up statistic that 70% of the game is played from 150yds and in... so if I 3 putt my score suffers whether I put it in the green side bunker of the tee, or stripped the fairway and have 50yds left. What separates the pros from amateurs is primarily number of putts. In short, I'll take zero 3 putts over 300yd drives any day. GolfSpy_SHARK 1 Quote It's 90% Mental Link to comment

That separation isn't because of putting ability but because of length. It puts shorter clubs in their hands so they end up with smaller dispersion patterns when hitting approaches. They also have much better strategy when establishing aim points for those approach shots.

Driver shaft limits or something will be addressed soon. There’s 5-6 dudes on tour I can see getting to that 400 yard mark quite often, and a few more that won’t be too far behind. The 106-110mph swing guys will have one heck of a time keeping up when the big swarm of monsters comes up. the game is evolving, and taking center stage is the ability to hit accurate... stupid long drives. At least for the PGA Tour. Going to be an interesting few years. They’ll ban gyms, and protein shakes next. GolfSpy_SHARK and Crowev01 2 Quote Link to comment

They will probably bifurcate like MLB, but I'm starting to think it almost might be fun.

I've driven greens and 4-putted. If I can't putt then doesn't matter how long I hit it in the game of golf. My point to the question was would I take length over being able to knock it in the hole in 2 strokes vs 3. Look up the average length of the first putt between pros vs ams, my source is a little loose; AimPoint creator. The take away from what I was trying to express is the make percent of pros vs ams from 15ft, 10ft, 5ft. We (ams) have some work to do on the greens over the driver.

GolfSpy_SHARK Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 The famous words have never rang more true. Putt for dough drive for show. The question is really relative to the person. Are you better at one or the other?? Me driving according to arccos is the best part of my game surprisingly. So for me like I have said before take my 3 putts away all day Quote Check out my reviews: G710 Irons Official Review I MC Shaft & V Series Putter Official Review 2022 Forged Tec's Official Review I Nitron Push Cart Official Review WITB: Weapons of grass destruction (link to WITB) Traverse is filled with all this shiny metal and tracked by RadSpeed 8* - MotoreX F1 6X SIM 3W - Project X HZRDUS Green U505 Driving Iron 17* - Project X HZRDUS Black SpeedZone 4H - Project X HZRDUS Black 2022 King Forged Tec's 4-PW - KBS $ Tape 130 48 (SM8), 52 & 60 (SM7) - Nippon Modus 125 S ER2VI PROV1X #19 Are you a veteran?
