Omg my putting issue makes so much sense now! 🤯 I've always had an issue of missing right on my putts, so I've been over compensating by aiming left side of the hole, but what I see now is my putter is toe balanced and my standard putt is straight back and through..., my adjustment of aiming left of hole is actually turning my stroke into a slight arc 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 So I need to try out a face balanced mallet and aiming straight at the target with my natural straight stroke should work better Thank you so much!

Good theory video, hard to put in practice as very few good putter fitting centres in Australia, those who do only offer a certain brand that they make most money on. I have had 3 putter fittings and each time compared my previuos fitted putter to the one offered by fitter. Had an oddessay 9 fitted, then a 2ball then offered me a cleveland blade. style. So 3 different styles, surely my stroke hasn't changed that much. Ie even fitted putter from one fitter brand is different from another. How can that be..... 2 of fitted putters I putted worse after 2 months so went back to my old bullseye and still use that to this day ( despite the supposed non benefit).

I have a Nike toe hang putter. I have never been fit for it or even thought of it. Great advice and great video!

Hi Jeffrey!! Thanks so much for watching. It sounds like your current Nike putter is working fine for you, so that’s great to hear!! But I’m glad the video providing you with some new info and great advice. Are there other topics that you’d like to see covered?

Thanks Dr Greta, great video!. So i recently discovered this balanced vs toe hang while shopping for a new putter. So I currently use a Taylormade Spider Blade toe balance from 2012 and have never been very consistent. So I just ordered a new 2021 Taylormade Spider EX Mallet putter that is face balanced. I have never been fitted, but I believe I have more of a straight putting stroke. I'm definitely excited for the new putter.

I’m so glad to that this video has been helpful to you!! Your new toy (AKA your new putter in the way 😊) will definitely flow differently, and if you are indeed have more of a straight back-through putting stroke, you will find a bit more consistency with the mallet. Please keep me posted on things!! Thank you again for taking the time to watch, George!!

Face balanced putters are really not face balanced at impact. That’s a myth. There is also no such thing as a straight back straight through stroke unless the player manipulates the putter during the stroke. Testing shows face balanced putters are not easier to square at impact, they actually go to closed very quickly. The real key is to match the degree of toe hang to the natural arc of the player’s stroke. If you want a putter that is face balanced impact, the ones to look at are SeeMore, LAB Golf, Edel or the old Odyssey Toe-Up putters. A putter that is face balanced when you point it to the sky doesn’t do anything.

@@DrGretaGolf I actually used the mallet putter today and I made more putts because of the confidence it gives you over the putt and the high MOI. I will rest the blade putt for now (I am not TW😉)

@KJJ - lol, there’s only one TW!! No worries, though. It’s GREAT to hear that you have found a putter that is working better for you. As you noted, the blade can take a rest for now, especially with the mallet helping you to feel more confident and produce better putts. I’m beyond happy to hear this. Keep me posted, @KJJ!!

The actions described here are *incorrect* in multiple ways. Face Balanced Putters *STAY* Square, Face to Path. A Toe Hang Putter *Closes* on the Backswing and *OPENS* on the Forward Swing. The Inertia of the *HEAVIER TOE* along with the Force being applied closer to the *Lighter Heel* causes this. This is how they impact Square to Target in an Arc Stroke.

Makes sense.
@paulkellygolf36712 жыл бұрын
Correct. This is a common misconception that many well versed Pro's get wrong. Toe hang putters are suited for an arc as they "slow down" the rotation to match the arc. If they closed faster the club would be severely shut at impact.
