I've tried putters with strokes and BGT shafts but they don't seem to make any difference, are they just a con ?
Have to say my Edel putter fitting has massively improved that part of my game like. based on my fitting alone, I’d bet there’s a fair chunk of the golfing population playing with the wrong putter.They are right down there with 'ball fittings' in the "I cant believe there are people who actually fall for that one !?!?!" category.
Yes. A complete load of . Unless you are hitting a 100 foot putt then I can’t imagine that a stiff or flexible putter shaft makes much difference.I've tried putters with strokes and BGT shafts but they don't seem to make any difference, are they just a con ?

Very much so. I had a scotty for years and it worked well apart from heel miss hits were terrible. I can hit this anywhere and it’s near the hole. I believe it’s to do with the torque. I’m also holding out tons more from 6-10 foot. I’ve gone from a big standard 34-38 putter to a 28-32 I’d estimate.Would you say it’s worth 1 or 2 shots a round? In which case would be an instant handicap improvement.
Or is it just a look and feel improvement?
I bought an odyssey Toulon putter (not fitted) and love the look and feel. Distance control has definitely improved. I definitely believe I put better with it and my handicap is at its lowest ever.
You’re focusing on the wrong object. It’s the weight of the club head that flexes the shaft when swung. Apparently doesn’t take much to affect various attributes enough to build a margin of error.The force of hitting a putt can generate a torque that twists a steel shaft ?!?!?
Whether that margin of error is perceivable for us is definitely open to question...over 6 feet we're way more likely to miss anyway so it's difficult to pin it down.You’re focusing on the wrong object.

Unless it was that weird braced putter thing that one of the manufacturers brought out a couple of years ago. It had a weird triangular section where the shaft met the headWhether that margin of error is perceivable for us is definitely open to question...over 6 feet we're way more likely to miss anyway so it's difficult to pin it down.
But to a Pro it could be worth half a shot per round in getting putts closer
Anything that stabilises the putter head has to be a good thing.
If you mean the Truss range from TM then I'm not sure what they developed actuallydid any good....it just looked so bad that the range bombed....Unless it was that weird braced putter thing that one of the manufacturers brought out a couple of years ago.

That isnot necessarily so. Stabilising, only matters if there is a source of instability, to be stabilised.Anything that stabilises the putter head has to be a good thing.

In a putt, read, length, and delivering the putter square to the line, matter.
Torque, or stability, with a putter, is like worrying whether the paint on it is sufficiently low air friction.
I’d argue it’s more if the amateur can recognise the benefit it’s actually giving them than the gain being so marginal to be useful. My new putter has certainly improved my putting including misses.Whether that margin of error is perceivable for us is definitely open to question...over 6 feet we're way more likely to miss anyway so it's difficult to pin it down.
