LeftyHawk Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 As I think about possibly a new putter one question that keeps popping up in my head is about the face. I see so many groove patterns out there along with smooth faces. Is there really a difference between each? Smooth vs groove? Chris Quote Far and Sure......

Some alter feel/sound.

Some alter feel/sound. ^^^ What he said! ^^^ Since the introduction of EVNROLL's "Sweet Face" technology (Technology – Evnroll US) there have been several releases from multiple manufacturers with competing face tech. My gamer uses said technology and does appear to make a difference - at least in distance control if nothing else. Sound and feel can also be manipulated using face grooves as mentioned above. All that really matters though is the ball going in the hole so play what suits your game and don't be "sold" on something that doesn't. cnosil 1 Quote Driver: ST190 9.5* Fujikura Atmos Blue 5S Fairway Wood: ST190 15* Fujikura Atmos Blue 6S Hybrid: CLK 17* Fujikura Speeder EVO HB Irons: J40 CB (3-PW) Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Wedges: Milled Grind 2 54* & 58* Dynamic Gold S200 Putter: Tri-Hot 5k Two 34" Bag: Players 5 Stand Bag Ball: Maxfli Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest that was my thought before posting this. Guess I just needed to confirm my thinking. Thanks ! Chris TR1PTIK and cnosil 2 Quote Far and Sure......
