New Putter

[Tommo21]

I just cant find anything that says buy it. They're good, well made, great finish, look super. Tried them umteen times, but no.

Same here - there's just something about them that says "I'm not for you".

Scotty Cameron putters are nice on the eye but thats about it as far as i can see.There are a lot of putters out there that are just as good for half the price.

Have to admit, the price will burn a big hole in the pocket so I want to be sure before buying. I will go and try again, and again before committing, especially as I'm trying to convince myself not to buy a new driver too

I got hold of a Rife 2-bar blade recently which has to date seen only a practice green; with a bit of luck it will see a course this afternoon.
So far I am encouraged by the alignment 'device', a notch on the back edge which you align with the white stripe. It at least gives hope of starting the putt from a consistent position.

I dont have the knowledge, so I dont normally post on these type of threads but I managed to purchase a cheap Mizuno Bettinardi Black Carbon BC3 Putter earlier this year and I can not believe the difference, a fantastic piece of equipment.

Well i've booked myself a putting lesson tomorrow just to see if my existing set up needs any adjustment, if so i'll probably try a few different putters or it might be that i have the correct set up for my stroke pattern and don't need a new one, if this is the case i would have saved myself some money.

When i tried a few putters out in our pro shop,the pro watched my stroke and then gave me the best tip i had ever had.My left wrist was breaking down and pulling putts left.He got me to hold finish with left hand firm and level with crease in left trouser leg.I could have hugged him but made do with a new Odyssey white hot which has put the pleasure back into putting.
Wish i had had a putting lesson years ago.

I'm saying nothing

For the most part I think issues people have with putting are more to do with flaws in their stroke rather than the putter. I love my scotty but have putted badly with it when I don't come straight back and have an off centre hit. However the more I practice the better I am getting at controlling the line of the putter on a straight back straight through swing path.

My Newport is slightly heavier which I find makes it easier to control. My advice, have a putting lesson, work on your technique and take your pros advice on the type of balance you should go for and then try a shedload of putters. I tried about ten before I selected mine and using the SeeMore M1 convinced me that though I liked the scotty I needed it a little bit heavier.

My wand is staying with me for life. I will not change it but will practise religiously to improve the consistency of my stroke. Happy putting.

Definitely worth investing in a putting lesson. For many it will be a revelation and for others it'll just be a brush up on technique and posible alignment which may have becoem a bit lazy. Its definitely the one area of the game that needs to be working well and so any assistance and practice can only be a good thing

Well i had a putting lesson yesterday and it was £22.00 well spent, my setup was good eyeline was good and position over the ball didn't need any attention, my only problem was that i tended to turn my head before my right arm had passed across my chest this led to a slight turn of my upper body, this was rectified and my putting became a lot more consistent to the point of the last 3 putts being 15 footers and all 3 were sunk without any problems.
To sum up no need for a new putter so i've saved myself some money.
