A friend is interested in a broomstick style long putter. Other than the fact Lonard used one for a while, does anybody have any experience with these particular putters? www.pendulumgolf.com.au

Merry Christmas,

Pete

Your friend is an idiot. Long putters are evil.

Pete you could also point your friend in the direction of a thigh anchorpoint pendulum putter (http://www.sympleputter.com/).

He may be very interested. Have you had a go of this putter?

Had a go with the long version when they came out. A member of our senior pennant team asked me to help him buy one. Gave it a run when it turned up and found it deadly from inside 2 metres. Almost bought myself one and probably should have. Just didn't feel right having one in the bag. That particular putter had a very heavy head with an insert head to dampen the speed of the ball off the face. I found it very pleasant to putt with.

Pete, have tried, putters are subjective, but i love mine. thigh anchor point works for me, more so than belly or chest. agree with Raz great from within 2m + and for me good for distance also. i like the weighty feel of the head. only thing i didn't like was the grip - for me felt a bit slippery. like the Karakal Jumbo grip, may go one size lower to the Karakal V grip.

How do those thigh anchor putters go for the longer putts? Do you need to change to a more conventional putting stroke outside a few metres?

no change, just more swing (or for the unconventional "hit") like a normal putter.
