Adam Scott - WITB 2019


GolfWRX

Recommended Posts

I would love to get an arm lock putter and use a right handed claw grip similar to Scott/Simpson. A bigger grip seems like it might help keep the club attached to the forearm too. Unfortunately getting fit for or finding arm lock options isn't exactly easy...and buying one off the rack is crazy considering the length, lie and loft issues of an arm lock putter

Just buy an old belly putter cheap and get it bent to like 7* loft. Add superstroke 17 grip and have at it. Just make sure the end of the grip is below your elbow crease.

 

Think Adam is just using a stockish putter with 30g weights added. But I imagine Scotty probably did a custom shaft bend or something for it.

I use standard loft belly putters (3 degrees) just fine with armlock. The way I do it though puts the shaft much more vertical than Adam does. I know Kuchar used to have tons of loft on his armlock but at his most recent win only had 3 degrees. Kind of interesting. Definitely encourages a level to upright strike with the putter when you don’t have much loft and are pressing the shaft forward even a bit.

Actually Adams armlock is very custom as the face was milled with 7* of loft so that it wouldn't look different when at address.

Is it that easy to manipulate the loft on a putter though? There is definitely some variation on what the putter manufacturers offer...the Odyssey model is only offered with 7* loft and the Bettinardi has 5* standard. At $250 maybe I'll just get the Odyssey to give it a try. Don't know if 42" is the right length but can always cut down or add an extension before putting a different grip on.

Maybe he should go free agent and get a custom iron set made the way he likes it rather than forcing Titleist to keep reproducing the 680 MBs......

So you want him to go to another company so they can make him a set of 680 MB’s?

Webb, Keegan, Kuch all win with the arm lock. I'd love to see Scott stick with it and have a great year. He hits it too good not to win consistently! He seems like a good guy and he absolutely stripes it!

he hit it great!! needed a few to roll in and would have given Rose a little better of a run...

Those KBS certainly did the job back in 2013. My recollection was that they are simply the regular Tour 130's.

An experienced builder can lightly torch the shaft and add loft with slight bend. Or you can buy the shafts on ebay. Otherwise you would bend the spud neck. But as someone said above you can armlock with standard lofts. Left arm low lock is perfect for standard lofts.

- Something that continues to go long off the tee in the fairway
- Something that is a fairway finder when needed and long
- Something that high, consistent and helps with par 5’s
-  Something to help with long par3’s and short par 4’s

-  Something metal, lots of them and go the gaps I need
- Something metal, 2x of them and helps me 120y and in
- Putters - limited rotation because I cannot afford misses

Golf is what you make of it.  Play grateful and accepting. We are all lucky to have it.

Rather than expecting lets all try and appreciate instead. 
Treat people the way you want to be treated

Does anyone know why Adam chooses the X100 shafts in his wedges? I always thought Adam was known to be a low spin player and therefore would opt for the S400 shafts to help increase spin.

Looks like he has a directed force putter today

 

Yes he does. Pretty strange considering he was having his best season putting in quite some time (possibly ever?) so far this year. It's early in the year but the armlock seemed to be working alright. Maybe he thinks his improvement is due to the pin being in or some other adjustment/improvement he has made. He had 28 putts yesterday but didn't seem to do anything special from what I saw. The avg SGP right now for the tournament is 0.246 and he's at 0.575 so he's putting decent enough. I've seen the Directed Force putters before and heard their sales pitch...similar to the Edel or Axis1 "no torque" or "torque balanced" message. Uglier than all hell but whatever works.

I think he said he didn't feel comfortable controlling speed with the armlock.

I totally get that. Armlock is the most awkward way to strike a golf ball that I've found. I've had plenty of them and absolutely never got comfortable enough to use one in an actual round.

I've dabbled with armlock a few times and the distance control was brutal. Definitely would take some commitment and tons of practice to get that stroke honed in.
