J P![]() Handicap : 9.6 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Fri 11th Apr 2008 09:35 That's what I was going to do but I keep reading that cutting down putters buggers up the weight balance and for a £140 putter I am slightly reluctant. Saw a few guys using one yesterday, aparently more professionals have requested it than any other TaylorMade club - even ones not sponsored by TM. The science is that an off centre hit from the toe on a normal putter will come up 1.5" short, and off the heel !" short - with this thing they will roll in the cup.

Matt Hargraves![]() Handicap : 24 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Fri 11th Apr 2008 09:43 I do like the idea of it but i think it may be to long for me too |
David Marshall![]() Handicap : 10.9 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Fri 11th Apr 2008 09:47 Why not just hold the putter slightly further down the grip?

J P![]() Handicap : 9.6 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Fri 11th Apr 2008 09:51 That feels wrong - it's what I do now with my Scotty. |
Wayne Santorini![]() Handicap : 16.2 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Fri 11th Apr 2008 10:29 Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a "Scotty" J P the, futura and absolutely love it |

Matt Hargraves![]() Handicap : 24 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Fri 11th Apr 2008 10:41 Do you guys use more than one putter? not in the same round but depending on conditions? |
Wayne Santorini![]() Handicap : 16.2 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Fri 11th Apr 2008 10:55 I only use 1 putter. Matt the Futura has a 30g removable weight so I can remove it to use on fast greens during the summer or keep it in for the slower one's over the winter. |
J P![]() Handicap : 9.6 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Fri 11th Apr 2008 10:59 No used the same one for years - just get impulsive. It'll probably be on ebay next week hahaha

J P![]() Handicap : 9.6 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Mon 14th Apr 2008 09:39 yup - I took it out on sunday and made a lot of putts - 28 putts is a good improvement for me so think I'll keep it as it is. Holed some big ones too.

J P![]() Handicap : 9.6 Location : ![]() Posts : | Reply : Mon 19th May 2008 10:08 Hi guys - sorry for the delay in replying I have been away! The putter never got sold - the first round I made something like 27 putts and since then it's been very solid! Best putter I have had for sure - helps me line it up.
But it is ugly! |
