You probably would have needed to reinforce you wanted a different look, especially since your alignment was spot on. Sounds like it was comprehensive from the stand point of locking down the putter, it's just that you ended up not needing to try a bunch of the different shapes. My favorite thing coming out of fittings is always the knowledge I've gained about my own swing and stroke. I find it helps me have a better idea of if something may or may not work for me. Of course, I also like to try lots of different clubs anyway. I'm just curious like that! I still want to find these somewhere I can give them a roll! 7 minutes ago, GolfSpy BOS said: Seems like you had a good experience!

It can make such a difference for your consistency, which is going to lead to better putting on the greens just from getting something you start consistently on your aim line and matches your stroke to produce consistency roll and distance. buckpillar, William P, Despdan1 and 3 others 6 Quote Qi10 - Terra Forza White | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | G430 3-Hybrid - Kai'li White 80s SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 Mezz Max | Pro V1x | Vortex Blade | Ghost Maverick Black Ops - Forum Edition | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky CC Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Reading through all these updates today makes me really jealous you guys have already had your fittings. Mine is scheduled for March 16th, so I have a ways to go yet. Thanks to the unseasonably warm weather in Wisconsin I was able to go out and play a round this morning with my current gamer. I ended up with 35 putts (1 three putt), but the greens were still covered with sand from the winter. It's really hard to gauge speed putting through these.

Well at least you have it to look forward to , I was extremely fortunate that they opened a club Champion here in The Villages about a year ago and was able to get right in ( drove my golf cart there ) and the Master Fitter was excellent, had a friend that had the other fitter and wasn’t thrilled with him but the guy I got is great . I’m sure your fitting will be stellar and you’ll be rolling along soon !

The greens on my home course are fairly slow, but I play once a week with my dad and at his course the greens are as fast as I play all year. As long as I can spend a few minutes on the practice green before the round I can adjust to the speed most of the time. I am going from an insert putter to a milled face putter, so it will be an adjustment but I don't expect it will be a problem.

Kind of the standard for measuring putting. @Woodrow72 check out @fixyurdivot's post in the official Odyssey AI test from last year. His post links to the MGS putter testing protocol, which calculates strokes gained. I am probably going to use that protocol when I test, especially within 10 feet, which is apparently where I am weakest. At the end of the day, you should test how you are most comfortable. After all, not every spy cares about SG, and I bet there are many that would approach a test the same way you would.

I tested the LAB Link last season and before testing I never kept stats so I wasn’t really able to test SG against my gamer. Instead, I just did a head to head test from certain distances as well as lag putt tests. There are several ways to go about testing and I highly recommend checking out other putter tests, as Prodigal suggested, to get an idea of what works best for your case.

Each tester should test how they feel the product should be tested; but as part of their intro they should communicate the plan. Using the current MGS protocol identifies distances and performance from specific distances. I was just providing a comment about total putts making putting performance apparent. i don’t think it does nor is it used as a standard way to evaluate putting. If the desire is to use total putts that is fine as well, but I personally think it needs more supporting information like putts per green hit, green sizes, proximity to the hole, etc. GolfSpy AFG, sirchunksalot, Michael.Sandoval33 and 7 others 10 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: Paradym AI Smoke Max HL 16.5* w/MCA TENSEI AV Series Blue Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Render w/VA Composites Baddazz Backup Putters: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe, Milled Collection RSX 2 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
