It's all been downhill since hickory shafts and mashie niblicks. What tosh 3/4 of us couldn't play the game without club improvements, they are legal so until they are banned if you putt better with them then use one.

Has anyone ever tried using a belly putter or long putter?
I can see where the logic is with them both but they must both be really odd to get used to I'd imagine. Particularly the broom handle one as its such a change from the way you would "normally" putt.

I've tried a Broomhandle and cannot for the life of me work out how anyone can make a putt of more than 3 inches with it!
It just feels so awkward - maybe if I spend a week or two training myself then I'll become a quality putter and get to scratch.....

I have tried a broom handle, and from about 10 foot and in it was a lot like cheating. From 30 foot it was a liability.
I putt ok any way, and wouldn't have one in the bag as I would look and feel like an even bigger numpty than I do now.

I can't believe that those putters haven't been banned yet... it needs to be done to be honest.
The very fact that someone can win a major with one only a few weeks after putting one in the bag is just proof of how much of an advantage they give.
I know the argument is that everyone can use them, so whats they problem... but the best putters in the world have spent YEARS perfecting their putting with a normal putter to get it to a world class level, so why would they change? They dont need to! Its ridiculous that players can now compete with them with a putting stroke that theyve learnt over a period of a few weeks.
I bet once the R&A rules committee get some members who dont have the yips themselves making the decision, they will be banned for good.

It should be banned but don't think the R&A have the balls to do it. It is cheating in my book and I'm glad Scott didn't win last night.
