go on the YES putter website they explain what sorts of putters are needed for different styles of putting

Are you leaving too many short?...in which case a heavier mallett putter could be a good idea...If it's dodgy putting, go and try a few different styles, but it all comes down to practice.....

Hi Steve

Been using the Odyssey White Hot Xg No.5 Center Shaft myself for about 6 weeks and im definately putting a whole lot better and not leaving as many short, but as has been said so many times on here before putting is so individual and you will be much better served trying out as many different makes and styles as you can before deciding what to spend your hard earned cash on.

Happy shopping

Yes! website, cheers

Personaly, I'd give it a big fat miss. Couldn't find anything there and besides, you'll end up buying the whole Yes! hard sell. They are the marmite of putters......

I was leaving a lot short and tried some new putters, new Odyessey's, Ping, Taylor Made, Yes and Mizuno's. I ended going for a Yes Abbie and my puts ar eno longer short and the ball seems to roll and roll, early days but signs are looking promising, will keep you posted as the amount of 3 putts I was getting was around 8-10 per round.

I had a lesson and I wasnt over the ball enough either so I am correcting that by using a mirror training aid, and that has made a difference too. Before you go and spend money on a putter, invest in a hours putting lesson as this will point out flaws before your waste/invest in new kit.

Good luck,
