Adam Scott new putter

[rowey]

Hi Guys just noticed Adam Scott has gone away from the Kombi putter, does anyone know what the new model is.

It looked similarish to a TM Spider

[Captain Nemo]

Proto, saw it on TCC.
Not my cup of tea!

[sms316]

Still an abomination.

[timah!]

Proto, saw it on TCC.
Not my cup of tea!

Is it the proto GoLo thing?

[rowey]

Looks like a Kombi with wings

[Captain Nemo]

Here you go....looks like the "cheatstick" is on the way out!
Fugly, hope it works.....:roll:

[timah!]

Ahh, he had something else a while back too...

[Captain Nemo]

Yeh, that mid Golo 5 thingo?

[timah!]

Yeah, that was it. Had the cool stamps in the bombs...

[rqrox]

So has he started using the non cheat stick type or is this one still the belly?

[KristianJ]

So has he started using the non cheat stick type or is this one still the belly?

I watched a few mins of the coverage this morning and he still had a broomstick.

See the pic above.
It's from the SC Studio.
Looks like he's trying a conventional length blade and spider thingo...

[rqrox]

ahhhhh
All I saw was the rack!
It looks unnervingly like the ghost!
And the blade looks alot like your old gamer the Sonoma.

[gazgolf1]

About time he got off his arse for 2013 and started playing, he's not hungry enough, too much money and too much clam.

[sms316]

Really? He experimented with playing less last year and his results were pretty consistent. Doing the same this year makes a lot of sense.

Having said that, he uses a broomstick so I hope he snaps his Achilles' tendon.

[timah!]

This ^^^
The season is bloody long. And the first few tournaments are pretty average.

[Johnny Canuck]

I read an article recently where he used a conventional putter in a pro am "just to stir people up".

[dc68]

Why is this in the sports bar? Please move it to the equipment sub please mods.

DC for Mod!

Ummm. Pass.

[Mububban]

It's not the new Daddy Long Legs is it?

http://www.pgatour.com/equipmentreport/2013/02/06/holmes--singh-test-new-taylormade-putter.html


Currently touted as the highest MOI putter TaylorMade has ever created, Daddy Long Legs appears to be the company's answer to the proposed 2016 ban on belly and long putters.

Designed to deliver a unique "counterbalance" performance through a heavier 15-inch grip that conforms to USGA guidelines, TaylorMade believes Daddy Long Legs' heavier mass putter head and grip is the new performance avenue for players looking for stability and high MOI in a larger mallet-style putter head at a non-traditional length.

[Captain Nemo]

Ummm AS is a Titleist staffer so that would be NO!
See pics above....

[rowey]

Titleist do you know what the go is with the weight looking things at the back of the club, is this an experiment by SC

[Captain Nemo]

Yeh they are the same weights as the ones in the Select range just put on top.
Probably just more for aesthetics on top if anything?

[rowey]

It wouldn't be a cheap experiment either I would say

[Captain Nemo]

Don't think AS pays for his putters.....😉

[rowey]

I didn't mean expensive to him, was refering to SC....

[sms316]

Instead of investing in cheat bats for the next 34 months, the schizos who use these putters should invest in a frontal lobotomy as a permanent solution.

[Looney]

SMS the constant comments about them being cheat sticks is getting boring, we know they have been banded from 2016 but until then
They don't break the rules. And yes I use a long putter ( broomstick and a belly) as well as a standard length putter.

Doubt it, pretty sure it's mocked up on a computer then milled from that?

Well said, apparently when the time comes the normal club golfer may still be aloud to use them

[timah!]

*Banned

*Allowed

You're welcome. And no they won't and nor should they.

You carry 3 putters?

[sms316]

You can live in hope Rowey, but the fact is that the game is better off with the social lepers who continue to use cheat sticks walking away from the game. Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

[Looney]

Yes SMS I carry 3 putters all of which are currently legal. And until the ban starts I will continue to use a long putter.

[sms316]

When do you use them? Do you carry all three onto each green?

[Looney]

Do you secretly long for a long stick SMS is that the problem? Does using a short club make you feel more at home.

[sms316]

Not at all. Any chance of you answering my question? Or are you going to be another one of these long putter users who rants and raves without answering a direct question without resorting to personal slurs?

Perhaps if you exercised a bit more self control, you wouldn't get that dirty nervous twitch?

[Jarro]

Keep it civil gents ......

[Looney]

So your question is do I carry 3 putters at once, is that right? The answer is no I don't but have used each type of putter at different
times. I am sure you already knew that I would not carry 3 putters at once which is why I didn't answer your question.

Another point you might like to think about is that the long putter is not being baned just the use of a anchor point so I can easily
continue to use any one of my putters.

So how about you give up on the constant carry on about long putters?

[Looney]

Keep it civil gents ......
Maybe look to have people who use tags like peoplewhoanchorareworsethanchildmolesters removed if you want people to be civil Jarro

[sms316]

I've seen some psychos carry and use two putters before - short for long putts and a broomstick for inside 20 feet. Carrying three wouldn't make much sense but it isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

I understand the difference between using a cheat stick and anchoring. IMO the officials missed a beat here. I can see things already moving towards counterbalancing. Perhaps they should max out total weight of putters?

I'm happy to leave this thread alone now. Hopefully the mods haven't locked the "Banning the Belly" thread.

Good point.

Please remove that phrase from your signature SMS.

I changed it for you champ. It was probably a little harsh.

Always enjoy your input SMS.

Haven't seen many too many cheat sticks on the course recently, although I did see one bloke on Thursday four jack with a broomstick. I wasn't sure whether he deserved my pity or ridicule..

[Captain Nemo]

One more:

[Captain Nemo]

Oh, and if a Mod has time, could they move this thread to the appropriate section?

[timah!]

As ugly as it is, how cool would it be to have a putter designed and made just for you!

[Captain Nemo]

Dunno, maybe one day I'll find out!

By the way sms I'm the champ not jarro.

[dhills2]

I'd love to see someone use a broomstick without anchoring... who would have thought someone who owns a broomstick could make themselves look even more ridiculous than they already do. A short belly might work without anchoring for counterbalance reasons but it'll be golf's answer to 3/4 pants... something that just doesn't look quite right and is a dead giveaway that you're probably the guy that lost his virginity in his late 20s to his third cousin.

Doesn't Matt Kuchur use a long putter that is not anchored to his body?

[sol381]

yeah he holds it against his left arm i think.. Johnny miller was going on about it at the accenture matchplay.. He also had to add that he was the first player to win a tournament using the broomstick putter in the 70s.

[rowey]

Read somewhere recently that Odysey have bent their belly putter shaft 4deg so it leans more into the forearm so you can brace it with the other hand....

[sms316]

Perhaps you should get one for pennant season Rowey.

Yeah what ever

[Captain Nemo]

Well there you go, in all its Masters glory...
Top Pic 3rd in....
Id say he will stick with this shape ala Day's Spider thingo and go to conventional length like the other pics.

[Johnny Canuck]

He should modify the spider and replace it with an asterisk with a flat face. That would get the people screaming!
