Putter Head Style Suggestions


CrusaderJK

Recommended Posts

Need some advice!
I am really struggling with my putting (and I actually broke my Redwood Anser today...:busted2: ) and am looking for suggestions as to what I should be looking for in a putter. I tend to be very straight back and straight through, almost too much. I tend to pull a large majority of my putts and struggle with speed. Could this be due to putting with a heel-toe weighted ("quarter hang") putter? Will a completely face balanced mallet (say an itsy bitsy spider or two ball) help me out? Does anyone have any information on what a center shafted putter helps to combat?

Thanks for all of your help!

Go to Cameron's website, look under 2003 putters and read up Scotty's reasons behind the Futura's design elements.

Chris points out everything in the face balanced arena to help you overcome your tendency to pull.

I would like to see your ball position and alignment too. If you are playing the ball too far forward in your stance and perhaps your shoulders are a bit open this will help to pull the putt.

As usual I'd suggest finding a SAM PuttLab and a fitter/instructor to work with.

Oh, and an anger management class might save a few putters from premature death too.:rolleyes:

Get someone to watch your stroke. Some players think they are sbst but they actually go outside on the way back and this can cause a pull.

Go to your nearest golf store & try out one of the Odyssey Backstryke putters. It will be different...but should fix you up. Let us know how it goes.
