Awesome video!!! I Frankenstined a Ping Sigma G blade putter when this armlock craze started. Sold it to a buddy of mine. I later found a Sik putter for $200 and I will never go back to conventional.

Great video AJ. Thanks! For someone like me who often builds his own clubs, your videos are a huge help. This will be a great way to try armlock putting without spending a fortune on a new putter. My other project is to build a "Not a Chipper" and test it out.

Good info. I could never get along with a traditional arm-lock putter so I tried a reverse arm-lock putter on a whim where the putter locks into my trail arm and have not looked back. Such a much better putter as a result.

Awesome video AJ. Although I don’t use one, I love the arm lock style putter especially that grip which I believe Evenroll was the first company to design that style grip. Yeah left hand low is the way too go especially with an armlock. I’ve been putting left hand low since the early 90’s ! What I don’t understand how the broomstick style putter isn’t banned entirely. Yes it’s allowed as long as the butt end is not touching your body (chest) but it’s a pendulum motion and takes out your hands entirely out from the stroke !

Did you feel any need to adjust head weight? I believe most arm lock putters have a head weight of about 400g. With my DIY arm lock conversions I found that having a putter with adjustable head weight was really helpful for me to get a good feel for lag putts.
@slade_golf
@slade_golf Жыл бұрын
This is what I was going to mention as well. You didn't address the fact that a lot of putter heads are going to be way too light feeling and will likely need a substantial amount of weight added to them to feel right in an arm lock

Isn't one of the big perks of the SIK and Cobra armlocks the descending face technology along with a maximum upright lie angle. Seems like pretty important aspects of correct armlock putting to ensure straight back straight through putting ? Simply extending a 34" 2 ball putter 6 inches would probably cause the toe to dig in ?

1. Instead of an extension, can you just cut an old club? I realize there will be a slight bump. 2. It looks like you cut yours a bit short. Not sure if you are getting the full benefit of the arm lock concept. Your thoughts?

You can use an old shaft, that's the way it used to be done. I cut it to what they recommended, though full disclosure I don't like any longer style putters so I'm in the end not the best case study.

Just bought the AL-3 grip. The instructions on their web site (for the AL 2 grip) says "The grip should be installed so that the logo faces out towards the ball." I don't think their wording is very good at all. I sent a question to their support people. However, the picture on the instructions show the logo facing the putter head, which makes sense, they would want their logo to face forward like that. I'm installing the AL 3 grip this weekend. I don't think they updated the instructions for the AL 3 grip but I suspect the instructions would be the same as the AL 2 grip.

Thanks for the great video. This could really change my game for the better. I was wondering if you thought using masking tape to install the putter grip would work like it does on irons. I wanted to try different heads and it would be easier to get the grip off and on with masking tape. Also, what about using an old shaft to extend the putter rather than ordering a shaft extender?
@EFGMC
@EFGMC Жыл бұрын
You can for sure use an old shaft as the extension. As for the masking tape/compressed air method. I'm just not sure it would work. I've never installed a long putter grip with air.

Question, I'm going to try this with my Odyssey Triple Track Ten S putter, I removed the grip last night and it had a 40 Gram weight in the butt section of the shaft. It also had two 20 removable weights in the head... After installing a shaft extension do you suggest adding this much weight back into the butt of the putter? I stopped using it last summer and went back to my Red 7 Putter, so I figured the Ten would be a good one to try this with.

I have a Scotty 5s that I think is 350mm … was thinking of buying a 335mm shaft cutting it at 350mm then installing that to cut for the stability putter shaft to attach to then keeping the original shaft if I want to set up with original again… does this make sense or do I have it completely wrong?

AJ, if golf fittings for irons are using quick removable heads and shafts at their fittings, why haven’t the OEM’s offered them for use like the new drivers? I just received new JOX923 HM Pro irons and the shafts are as typical fixed shafts in the heads. Just thought it’s interesting subject.

Forgive my ignorance but I went to order the extension and you have to pick 0.580 or 0.600 butt size. What is the difference and how do I know which one I got? Thanks a million.
@EFGMC
@EFGMC Жыл бұрын
It's based on the size of your putter's current shaft. If you can measure with some calipers the inside diameter you will know for sure. Irons have pretty much all gone to .600 shafts these days, putters you can still get some with a .580 size. Other option just get one of each size as they are cheap.

@EFGMC
@EFGMC Жыл бұрын
Take your current clubs, choke down 1 inch and go play them. If they feel light then you will want to add some weight. If you like the feel then you won't need to change. Lead tape is the easiest method to add weight but if you don't like the look, tungsten powder down the shaft would be next easiest.
