Have you tried putting with your eyes closed? Lots of people especially on shorter putts turn during the stroke to look at the hole and see the putt go in. so I am definitely heeding that warning from you.ĭiving in a little deeper, I am assuming face on line means you struggle with face control and starting the ball on your intended line. I have a fair amount of fringe and long putts.
I'll definitely do some testing with one. I am just looking for ways to keep my putter face on line. I wouldn't say I have the dreaded "y" word with a conventional putter, but I can say that I have a tendency to pull a lot of putts.
Now in stipulated events you are ok there as long as you do not anchor the top hand to your sternum. IMHO if someone raises hell about that then play with someone else because they are not worth playing with anyhow. So if you feel comfortable going to one by all means do so. My buds are like me do not give two hoots and we told him we did not give 2 hoots if he anchored or not or if he stuck it up is wazoo to putt the first tee was over there tee it up. When they called us up he stated to my other buds that he used a long putter. We got paired up with an older gentleman one day who was putting with one on the putting green. I do know some of the "stigma" concerning the anchoring etc. Have gotten use to it now> But seriously I will hang on to the broomhandles because you never know because of my back I may have to go back to one. I ended up putting a 35" Fluted Bulls Eye shaft in the Scotty and changing the lie slightly. Could no longer practice much that bent over. For a tall guy 6' 2" I always bent down and used a 33" putter. But soon after I healed enough to practice some I went back to my Santa Fe. I also converted back an old Bobby Grace V-Foil that had been a broomstick to begin with back to broomstick status. Now back after I had my accident in April 2000 3 weeks after I was released from the hospital I was out on our putting green back brace and crutch and putted with my old Ping B-90I broomstick. I also during that time worked on a new method instead of my lifetime way of arc putting I went to SBST with a claw grip. Like say with a conventional you pull a putt 2 inches off line you will pull it 4 inches or more with a broomstick. One thing anything you do wrong with a broomstick it will be equally worse. I am old school as heck and anytime if off the green I can get the putter in my hand I do so. So So on long putts and useless off the fringe. Now for me the broomstick putter really putted well from 5 ft in. I was having mental problems putting with a conventional putter. I putted with a broomstick for about a year. When I went back to a shorter putter, I was amazed how much more control and feel for the putter face I had. One thing that I remember, that there was actually less control, or less room for error, with the putter face on the long putter, even though it felt more stable. Easier to see the line? Not really.Īnd I concur it was much better on the back. Putting off the fringe was harder as well. The momentum of the putter head going back and coming through felt really good on short and mid-range putts, however, judging the distance on long (+20 ft.) putts was more difficult. I tried it for a season before the anchoring ban, although I really never anchored it. I see some advantages in my stroke (and in my back), but wondering if anyone on the forum is using, or has used a long putter? Pro's / Con's you may have experienced?
ODYSSEY BROOMSTICK PUTTER FULL
I have been curious about gaming a long putter (not arm-lock length, but full 48"+ length).
