NEW: Welp, that idea didn't work. I wasn't any worse, just wasn't any better.

So the new theory that I'm playing with is the eye dominance thing (me being left eye dominant) so I'm in need of an offset putter. I don't mind a blade or mallet, but what I want this sucker to be is HEAVY, and a full offset, not a half. Not much more of a requirement than that, really. I have an Arm-Lock Grip and a Back-weight to stick in whatever presents itself, so throw anything you've got that fits the bill at me.

Cheers all...

P.S. Open to any suggestions from anyone about heavy putters too, I don't really even know where to begin looking. I'm currently using a Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2, which I believe are 330g, and I'd like it to be significantly heavier than that.



OLD: In search of a LH heel-shafted putter, anything along the lines of the Wilson 8802 or 8882, Scotty Napa / Del Mar or Newport 3, Odyssey #8 or #9, Odyssey PT82, Rife Bimini (not sure they ever made them in lefty?), Bettinardi BB2, Yes! Sophia, Lajosi LP808, Designed By Flanagan, well you get the general jist here, don't you???

Let me know if anyone has anything floating around...

Cheers!

Hadn't come across those before, but I feel it's definitely worth a shot.

I putted miles better from 3 feet with my Titleist U510 than I have with any putter so far in the last 5 years.

There's gotta be SOME merit / logic in that, surely.

And before you ask, yes, I was "forced into it" by some shaft fragility. I tell ya, they don't make em like they used to...

I frequently go back to one of these, as it has an uncomplicated look. (Some days, even an anser looks like a spider/two-ball/smart-phone to me.)

I was surprised how easy it is to hit consistently, given the lack of any alignment aids. (I use a normal jumbo grip with it, so it is similar to putting with the sole of a wedge.)

I see Cleveland Frontline is now available in their no 2. (Odyssey 9) design, but I don't know if it is available for lefties.

It’s amazing out of the middle, feels nicer than the Scotty del mar and Newport.

Finding the middle is an issue for me

If you don’t have a box, dismantle it and make it fit in a bag.

It’ll be cheaper and save time at the other end.

I genuinely don't mind it. Clean lines, no ugly sight dots / lines, brushed finished.

Miles of putters in existence uglier than that.

LeftyHoges
3rd September 2021, 07:42 PM
I reckon you'll be able to throw that thing a MILENever had such a strongly toe-weighted putter, apparently prefers a swing with a strong arc, so I'm guessing the throw needs to be more rounded than overhand to get maximum performance?

I'm sure we'll find out.

I completely disagree that it's ugly (and ESPECIALLY comapared to your thing), but the main point is that if it's not putting out, it's extremely likely that it's me not being able to get her in the mood and nothing else.

EDIT: Now after the following...

Welp, that idea didn't work. I wasn't any worse, just wasn't any better.

So the new theory that I'm playing with is the eye dominance thing (me being left eye dominant) so I'm in need of an offset putter. I don't mind a blade or mallet, but what I want this sucker to be is HEAVY, and a full offset, not a half. Not much more of a requirement than that, really. I have an Arm-Lock Grip and a Back-weight to stick in whatever presents itself, so throw anything you've got that fits the bill at me.

Cheers all...

P.S. Open to any suggestions from anyone about heavy putters too, I don't really even know where to begin looking. I'm currently using a Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2, which I believe are 330g, and I'd like it to be significantly heavier than that.
