Has anyone gone through the process, and what were the results?
Was considering splashing out on a Scotty but I'm intrigued by these Edel jobbies, given I use a seriously self customised putter I'm not really confident one off the shelf would be an improvement.

Brian Ridley at Beamish Park is an Edel fitter mate, he'd be happy for you to visit to talk and see the process.
 
Ive done the fitting from Edel but I bought a Raa putter. Intriguing process and has definatly helped me. I will never buy a Scotty again and I have 6 of them.
 
Average about 32 putts per round, very rarely 3 putt, will be honest in that I struggled the first few weeks as I hadn't used a counter balanced putter before and I was inconsistent with pace, love it mow and confident on the greens with it, feels great and can't see me ever changing it.........up to now:rofl:

May I ask how much it costs roughly? I'm interested, the Edel process is getting some great feedback but I've no idea on costs!
 
I had my fitting 10 days ago and expect my putter in the next few weeks. The fitting was really cool. One element at a time. Aim first, a huge amount goes into this and it is very interesting how your eyes react to different styles of putter, how the putter is marked and where and how it's marked. Then distance control done with weights in the heal and or shaft. They can put weights of vairing amounts in all different places in the shaft as well as damping if required. Thousands of combinations of marks, weights, lofts, length and offsets. Crazy stuff.

Are they really that much better than a scotty? Even for someone with a relatively inconsistent stroke? I've been working really hard on putting recently and was thinking about treating myself to a Scotty, are these really that much better?

Each to their own, some are better with a £5.00 putter or a freebie.
 
Personally get a Sam lab lesson it might be in your stroke where your lacking
And practice your stroke for a bit. Then when you have a solid stroke get a fitting

Find someone who does the Quintic system, borrow a Scotty and take yours along and try it, you'll find you won't get the Scotty.

Hehe... what Scotty? Off the rack? Perhaps better if you strike it lucky and happen to pick one that fits you. The Edel deal is about getting something made for you so yes, its so much better than a random Scotty that you pick up because you make a few 5 foot putts on a fake surface in a pro shop.


The get a lesson, use SAM/Quintic crew... That`s about you and your stroke, not about your equipment. Of course find out and educate yourself about your stroke but if your putter is still the wrong length, lie, loft, weight your stroke may have to be making dynamic adjustments that will become habit.
 
As with everything is golf in regards equipment it will be horses for courses and there is no once size fits all - some people will get worth out of a putter fitting and some won't - off the shelf will suit some but not all.

Putting and putters will always be about feel and confidence - you can spend £400 quid on a putter and fitting but if it doesn't feel right then it's not worth it where as a £5 putter from a bargain bin can feel like a magic wand

I lost confidence in my old spider so tried a number of putters and bought a Scotty - it works for me - trial and error as with everything
