I just hate it....

Hate is such a strong word but i understand. I hate my gran!!!!!!!! I digress, i got a procore thingy fitted to my scotty. It increases the sweet spot works for me. Worth a google. Dont take my word cos i swapped a coo for beans
 
You're like me, aesthetics are really important or at least important to a degree. You play better with clubs you like the look of (or at least enjoy using them more!). You tried to ignore that and bought what you saw as a pretty ugly driver but overcame the looks as it performs pretty decent (it wants to at that price!)

For me the shorter the club, the more looks are important (putter and wedges, then irons, then the top end of the bag). I think this is basically where you find yourself now where you bought in fully to the science but really cant get past the looks and hence are struggling at the first signs of poor performance.

With the putter I think you need one you like the look of and then have it fitted to suit, this process has just gone one step too far for you.

Only my slightly drunk rambly thoughts but bet Im not far from the mark. Find a putter or two you like then go through the fitting process with them rather than a whole fitting process with no input to the visual aesthetics of the putter
 
I Had Cameron Del Mar California and loved the look of it, until I went on the quintic system and found that the putter wasn't performing and doing nothing for me at all and I bought a RAA. Is it nice to look at like the Scotty 'jewellery' Cameron's, no it's rather a plain Jane compared to the Scotty, but it out performs the Scotty hands down.
I'll never buy on looks and feel alone now, and that's what majority of players do is buy it predominately on them 2 factors.
 
From what I've read, and I may be wrong here, there's a potential flaw in the edel putter fitting. Don't they get you to hit putt after putt at a string 20ft away or summat? Surely a true test would be to continually change the distance the string is at. My point is, I'd say 9 out of 10 golfers using a random putter would eventually get used to the feel and be able to get hit said putt after putt at a static target with decent results. Anyone else agree?
 
Time to bite the bullet and change as you feel so negative about it and that's not likely to change by the sound of it. When I was fitted by Callaway he started with a 2 ball. I've never liked the look of them to be honest so was hoping it wouldn't be "the one". I really wanted a #7 as have hankered after one since Luke used to nail every single putt. I love how they look when I see people using them and wanted one! I breathed a huge sigh of relief when the next one we tried was the Works #7 and probably tried really hard to make sure the results were better than the 2 ball! In the end the #7 was the one we went with BUT not sure at all what I'd have done if the 2 ball was the recommended putter. I would probably have gone with it and then continued to wish for a #7!

Fundy is right to some extent - you have to like the look of it. Sometimes the performance is so great that you learn to love how it looks (think Plain Jane with an inner beauty!!)...but this isn't the case so go back to the Ketsch for a while and see how you feel.
 
Putter sweet spots are odd things.

I bought a kia ma maranello (shaped like odyssey no 9). Everyone says that they feel like butta etc etc. Turns out that it always felt a bit rubbish to me and I assumed I wasn't striking it correctly. When I tested the sweet spot (there are things online to show you how) it turned out that it was about a cm nearer the hozel than the marked line. It effectively rendered the putter unusable. I think this is more common than you think, so might be worth checking.

Using a Ketsch now, ironically

Most stable putter ever?!
 
The six inches between the ears are what's causing the problem. Nothing wrong with the putter itself, it's a confidence issue that's all. As someone said, it's winter, greens aren't at their best, so don't beat yourself up over your putting when conditions are against you.

The best answer.

Found putting tough myself lately, but so many bobbles it is untrue.
 
We I changed the grip from a completely round one to a normal shape one and it has had the most dramatic effect of anything I have ever done to a club. It suddenly feels like the club I was fitted for. The head just releases beautifully, the unstable feel has gone. I was on the putting green till 1 in the morning last night.

No real idea why but very happy. Not often the first thing you try works.
