Putter - Need to find one that will help me be a more consistent putter

[Ned]

Have preferred mallet style for years, been looking around and whilst Hayseys Craze thing has been ok, still don't roll it as consistently as I would like or need to. (I mean I even actually putt ok with wedges seriously)

Suggestions ?

[Johnny Canuck]

try the centre shaft. i haven't seen aldo 5 putt since he switched to one.

[Scottt]

Centre-shaft FTW!!!

[Ned]

hahahahahahahaha

Actually Hayseys old Craze is one, and it has made a difference but when you see a guy like Courty nail em from every where well there is hope yet!

Code violation. Racquet abuse?

[Jarro]

Get a conventional Odyssey 2 ball white hot (not centre shaft)

It'll fix ya ;)

[Russell]

why not just grind your wedge face flat?

[Yossarian]

JC do people from Canada cover their putters in

Old guy I played every Sunday with got me using wedges as a training tool.

Worked out ok that I used to use my wedges when I wasn't putting even poorly.

[Ned]

I use the thin edge, not the face!

mmmmm was looking at a mallet in one of these.................

[3oneday]

It's a mallet and a blade all in one ;) Excellent alignment and not huge to the eyes.

I now 31D, but not as good looking as the full mallet version!:cry:

If it helps, it used to give me a woody ;)

[razaar]

What was in the bag last weekend, Ned?

[Ferrins]

I put very well with a wedge as well and actually practise putting with a left hand cleveland back the front so contact is with the thin edge.

[Ned]

Ping Craze CS

[henno]

TM itsy bitsy putters are at rockbottom for $US99 at the moment. Might be worth a look (even if I do personally think they are ugly as sin and look like they are about to take off).

[razaar]

That's right...I thought you putted OK...must have been two other blokes.

Careful Ferrins, I say that and get smashed cause they all think I am fudging for handicap.

When you are punching 30 plus putts a round, it can turn a crap round to crapolla round real quick.

[henno]

Not me. I had a swag of 3-putts and even a 4-putt.

You and Addo ????????

[adlo]

Squizzys has some Heavy Putters for $50 brand new. Some funky mallet designs.

[haysey]

Maybe some practice would help.....and sticking with one putter for a while






:wink:

I practise, with the wedge;)

And have always had mallet Odyssey's:smt108 (3 types only in 10 years).

Its not quite like the yips, just inconsistency.:cry:

[razaar]

Mate you are being a bit hard on yourself, from what I saw you are a good putter. Knocking in 6 footers with a wedge takes talent and concentration. Apply the same intensity to your putter (hit a particular spot on the face) instead of taking a direct strike for granted.

[Ned]

Thats the thing Raz, I cannot replicate what ever I do when mucking around with the wedge whilst I am handling the putter.

Unable to transfer the approach I take with the wedge to when I am using the Ping or whatever other putting implement.

Concentration and focus has never been a priority or a consistent behaviour. (Hurts what little brains I have)

[razaar]

Maybe the first step is not to ground your putter, there is no need to ground it anyway. Don't recall you grounding the wedge. Also the wedge putt requires a level hands stroke, the hands move with the putter head. If you have access to a banister rail run the knuckle of your little finger (using your putting grip) along the rail imitating a putting stroke. That's the feeling you have with the wedge putt and the one you should have with the putter.

[Ned]

oh, thats the other, practise or training has never even made it past the consideration stage.:roll:

[razaar]

See your point, no sense in dropping h'cap points. But being able to do it when the money is on the line is another issue.:lol:

Hahahahahahahahahaha

The practice thing isnt just about golf, every friggin report card at school had the same thing, like they just saved it as a template "Has potential, needs to apply himself, etc etc etc"

Use to piss my old Regional Manager off, Managers should show total committment blah blah blah.

[Coogee Beach]

For mine, get a 2-ball, to help with alignment ... then pick your line, then forget about it, and focus on pace, getting the ball to the hole.

Paul Gow told me that once in a pro-am.

Both of us still can't putt for shit but it's certainly a good tip.

actually i putt okay.

don't know about Gowy.

The 224-gram weight adjustability range (from 337g to 561g) and huge MOI of this one got me out of a bit of a putting slump a while back.

Does the ball implode when it gets struck with a 561g putter? :shock:

It does after you five putt!

[adlo]

Don't encourage the Canadian!!

Why oh why did I have to five putt that green!

[TourFit]

Good question Aldo...:lol:

But think on this...if you hadn't, the Canadian would just find something else to rib you on anyway !!! So don't beat yourself up too much on it (but I would advise making sure it never happened again, otherwise JC is really gonna tee off on you :shock:)

[adlo]

I 4 putted the 17th and had a few 3 putts there too. He loves giving me hass about it. Of late, I have had multiple one putts and even a zero putt on that green. Does the ribbing stop? No!!

First game at KB I used the hybrids a lot that day. Haven't used them much at all lately. Does the ribbing stop? No!!

Bloody Canadians eh.

[3oneday]

This consistent yet ?

If you recall, your forth putt missed on the same side that 1, 2 and 3 did. I think you have worn a path on that part of the green from over use.

It's not a 4 putt if #4 doesn't drop. Just be thankful that you were out of stableford shots.

Putting for bird, with a stroke and ending up with zero points. Took some serious effort.

[TourFit]

Yep, that DOES require some serious ribbing...as well as constant reminders (especially on THAT hole)

I haven't mentioned that he followed it up the following week with a miss from inside a foot on the same green.

He has gotten much better on it lately though.

:-s Is that a back-handed compliment?

You could own a piece of the magic... I'll probably sell a putter when the Lajosi arrives. The Yes! Tiffany would suit you perfectly. ;)

[haysey]

More like the kiss of death Mr can't buy a putt:D

[dougkpga]

I read through this thread and no one mentions fitting the putter to the right length.
With the right length putter allows your arms hang at address with eyes over the ball. Arching your wrists to firm them up and connects your upper arms to the sides of your chest.
The so called standard putter length of 35" is at least 2 or 3" longer than necessary.
Fatter grips can work well also.
Hope this helps, Doug

Care to elaborate on that, Doug?

[Courty]

The pro at my club pro shop was telling me yesterday that the average putter on the PGA Tour is somewhere between 30 & 32". :shock:

hahahahahahahaha, repaying the many compliments I get from you guys!!!:roll:

:wink:

Seriously, you don't appear to have a complicated or detailed set up, get a good roll and seem to maintain good consistency in the times I have played in your group and this is supported by sledging ....... oops I mean compliments from Haysey and Co and have played a heap more golf with you!:mrgreen:

So precious its a compliment for good golfing, nothing else.:smt023

Two things standard with my putters (Sorry actually putter clubs, not wedges) is length of roughly 33 inches and I have Lamkin or bigger oversize putter grips.

A par round with 18 greens in reg would be 36 putts!

[Johnny Canuck]

Tourfit wanted to extend my 35" putter as it was too short according to my fitting. I didn't want to go any longer than that.

Reshaft?

Reshaft?

It never even got that far.

He said that I should be using at least a 36". I said no. It ended there.

The flattening of the head has been beautiful. She sits perfect now.

[mike]

Ned, you still in B grade ?

[Russell]

ned you talk about good putting with a wedge, it seems that you must concentrate more with a wedge than with a putter.
they have such a thing as a chipper putter for those who can putt but not chip
why dont you invent a putter chipper ,wouldnt be that hard to make

Yes

But no I am not finishing out the Club Champs.

I am either playing in El Arish Holden Scramble or going to Brisbane on the 21st.

Pondering Nudgee event :-k

[Russell]

ned im serious! if you like thefeedback from putting with a wedge why not make a putter with a reasonably sharp edge

[Russell]

ned im no stranger to club making
i made a very good wacking stick,so christened by the members of our club.
it consists as a marriage between an old 5 wood head and a putter shaft,perfectly suited for chipping from just off the green.(pics not available as my cameras broke)
id gladly help you engineer a putter chipper

This is fantastic news. Now if only Henry, Risto, Chris, Karl, Floody, Pete and a dozen or so others pull out, I might be in with a chance.

Listen hear Twin Jarro stop worrying about the things you will never have any control over and start working on the things you have control over.

Its a 72 hole, 4 round event, I'm not telling you something you don't already know!!!!!!!!:smt108

Plus half those names you mentioned aren't even in B Grade.

If you don't pull your finger out, I will play and kick your arse.

Choice is yours!

I have one Lajosi and one Yes! Which one did you want pics of?

[razaar]

Only interested in the Lajosi; your pic only showed the head section. Wouldn't mind a peek at the grip and one at address (looking down).

[haysey]

Its a very nice putter. Only thing I could find wrong with it was Kari spelt Courty wrong.



I thought it was meant to be CoUNTy.....:mrgreen:
