I know I’m not the first to say this but I think this is a timely reminder to put more consideration into putter choice as it’s the club we use most. I’ve been guilty of spending $600 to $700 Aus on a driver when most of the time I’ll only hit it 9 times in a round. Makes far more sense to invest in the very best putter you can afford but more importantly “the putter that suits your style”. Enjoying your videos and your style of presentation - keep them coming 👍🏻

No, he said rule 1 don't be fooled when you test new putters in the shop, you'll concentrate better on your alignment because it looks different to your putter. Subsequently you might think it's better than your putter but that might not be the case.

@@Soul-TakerI never looked at it that way. Good point. I would like to take my putter to a fitter and have it adjusted. My putter isn’t worth much. It’s a low end blade, but I putt well with it. I would be horrified if people knew I spent $500 on a putter

One other big thing to consider when using the parallel lines to test is make sure your putting on a flat surface so you know that its your strike and not the uneven ground causing the ball to roll out one way or another.

A person with good putting mechanics could use an old tree branch and putt well. That said I found your tips helpful not only in picking a new putter, but also could be used to help you putt better with the putter you have. I have an Odyssey Dual Force II that is over 20 years old and I love it. When my putting mechanics are on I sink a lot of putts with it.

I’ve used both...it depends on the speeds of the greens. If they run fast like an 11, then a blade putter. But for slower greens I like a mallet. I’ve been using the Taylormade Spider Manta, but keep a GM2 Never Compromise in reserve.

My putter is a center line shaft Cleveland Huntington Beach model. My practice balls are two colored. one half one color the other half another, so you can get a nice true spinning looking roll. These work really well for chipping too if you turn it the other way, you can really see the backspin.

I game a Taylormade Mullen 2 with the black copper finish. It’s between a blade and a mallet. I added a Fatso 5.0 (yes it’s too big for a LOT of people but I have big hands) and my putting game has really come alive. The insert took some getting used to but I’ve figured it out and can put the right pace on it almost every time. For me, the mallet putters have to much “tail weight” and tend to push the putter face open or closed. And the blade style putter tends to be too light and I don’t get a good feel for pace. Everyone’s different tho and that’s why there’s so many styles!

I have 18 putters mostly mallet, selected for their looks. Favorite is an odyssey Sabertooth, but I putt well with all because I use a straight back and forward stroke, most of the time with one hand and sometimes on one foot if I want to amaze. Use of 2 hands doubles your chance of error. Also make sure the putter is flat on the ground and the toe not tipped up, as the loft of the face can cause a drift to the left. Good tips from SG!😊

Like you said, alot of poor putting comes from poor mechanics. I'm probably weird but I prefer center shafted balanced putters. Having said this, I still have all 5 that I've bought over the years.(including one left handed) I change my putter every other round. They are all slightly different: blade, mallet, hybrid style, completely different grips...but all center shafted. In doing this I get the new putter feel with better mechanics. In truth I would prefer to putt lefty, since I'm right eye dominate, I see the undulation better when standing over the ball. But I haven't gotten my stroke quite as smooth yet.

As a club fitter for most of my life since 1992, I have yet to hear an argument on how a blade is a superior preformer compared to a mallet. Especially with face balancing and toe hang options in mallets. Check out the tour leaders in strokes gained putting and look at the putter style they use. It’s dominated by mallets.

@takeabreak-rr5334 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting! I found a putting tip video saying that if you want to make the ball roll right away instead of it skidding the first few inches before it rolls is you set up probably an inch max from your ball so that you hit the ball on the upswing of the putter. It was kind of weird at first but it really works well for me!

I got fitted to a face balanced putter but couldn't hole nothing on the course. Tried 3 more different styles but still with no joy. I made a decision to buy a slight toe hang mallet and instantly started putting better. As i gained confidence i have reduced my putting strokes per round so for me it is all about what suits your eye and suits your stroke. Reading the greens and setting up correctly is the way forward for most people though.

@johnrodgers6049 3 жыл бұрын

All good stuff. Clearly getting the face on the ball square at impact is the most important thing. Getting there involves some factors you didn’t go into: length of putter, lie angle, grip type/size. All of these impact your ability to get the face square at impact. For instance, if the shaft is too long, that will generally bring the toe off the ground (bad lie angle) and can create an optical illusion putting the face off line. Also another factor is loft. You can get it on line, but if the loft is wrong, the ball may not have a tight roll (bounce or hop). The lie needs to match you stroke.

Thanks for posting another great video! I’ve been using a Ping Anser 2 for over 25 years. I’ve been struggling with it all season. When I first line up, it looks like the face is closed. I open the face slightly, then miss on the right edge. On the next putt, I’ll line up the same way as before, but not open the face. Then I miss on the left edge. Has anyone else had that problem? I’m thinking about switching to a mallet that has more of an alignment aid.

@henryschumann442 3 жыл бұрын

Tim, don’t ever give up on that putter. Just got mine re-gripped for the 4th time. Remember that putting is the only shot in golf with imperfect feedback. Perfectly struck putts can not go in and poorly struck putts sometimes go in due to imperfections in the greens. Just keep rolling the putts over your target blade of grass 12 inches in front of the ball and you’ll see better outcomes soon.

Do you post this on every putting video? We get it, you like metal rulers.

I definitely was, i just turned thirteen and I tried out my blade putter instead of my blade/mallet in twelve holes yesterday and got -9. So glad I tried it out that day. All one putts no two or three puts. Felt amazing and I won’t go back very soon I think😂. I’m still playing with my 9 year old clubs but hey, I’m doing my best with what I got. Also love the videos keep it up Edit: for some peeps, it was not a Par 3 and It was a 12 hole, 4,500 yard course. :)

GREAT video. PUTTING is half the game , we can all hit 5 , 10, 20 feet putts .No power or speed needed. Great putting can be achieved with skill , equipment and practuce

Good morning! Tried out the Maxfli Tour ball on your recommendation and absolutely love it. Spun the ball backwards on the green with my wedge yesterday.
