Unpopular opinion....Kuchar style putting is cheating

[Cwing]

Plane and simply, it is not against the rules.

 

If it makes the game so easy, why dont the majority do it?

[mjen43]

His arm is not fixed as his arm is in motion.

 

His putter is locked in to his arm it takes the feel and skill required out of it. Its a serious advantage try it out for yourself.

 

I did.

If you're a good putter you cant miss a straight putt with it

 

If you're a good putter you'd never switch to that method in the first place.

[caniac6]

Until the USGA and R&A say it is against the rules, it is ok. I think hitting out of a divot should be illegal, but the rules makers have a different opinion.

 

Thats what im saying. They keep the purity and tradition of the game alive with a rule like that yet they allow an arm locking technique for half the game. Someones sleeping on the job

I guess you will have to wait until armlockers win 3 out of 4 majors like the anchor guys did. Personally, I tried one at a store, and thought felt very weird. the set up felt strange, and I couldn't line it up. I felt no advantage.

[Hawkeye77]

LMFAO, when it was Bryson wanting to use an illegal putter, Mr. G.O.A.T. opined the following:

 

 

"Hes just looking for an edge within the rules. Nothing wrong with that. The greens at that level are marble floors. I dont use the sidesaddle, but ive tried it and its very difficult to hit putts off line. So he has a putting style where he hardly pushes or pulls putts, and his full swing technique with same length irons offers a greater increase of distance control. All hes doing is finding ways to put the odds in his favor within the rules."

 

I can only chuckle. Okay to look for an edge within the rules if you aren't Matt Kuchar.

 

Hypocrisy at its most entertaining!

[flog2]

Matt Kuchar, Webb Simpson, many others im sure and now the guy who looks for every edge in the book Bryson Dechambeau. Goes from putting like a 10 handicap with the side saddle to putting lights out in Puerto Rico with the arm brace. Hes got it braced up his entire arm. Ive tested it out numerous times to see I have an almost belly cleveland classic and its a joke how much it feels like cheating. Your arm is so locked in. How this is legal, yet the broom stick isn't is beyond me. Only a matter of time before more and more people switch. Golf needs its rules straighten out.

 

lol The broomstick isn't illegal.

 

lol keeping the putting on your chest is. try again

 

You lack even a basic understanding of rule your complaining about, then you call a legal piece of equipment illegal and I need to try again?

 

Listen fixed motion not fixed motion means nothing to me. Im just pointing out that bracing the putter on your arm throughout the entire stroke is a huge advantage. If you dispute that then you don't play golf or understand putting take your pick

 

It's not, it's just another 'style' that works for some and not others. Even belly putters and anchored to chin or chest putters werent a HUGE ADVANTAGE, they just worked for some.

 

If this was that easy, that simple and was as foolproof as you are inferring then everyone would be doing it.

 

Move on, nothing more to see here.

Wow someones really digging posts wish i cared enough what you wrote in the past. And I felt that way until I tested it out myself and what an advantage it truly is. Just wait a few years till everyone is using it then you'll remember it was the G.O.A.T who predicted it

Nothing wrong with having a Sunday discussion while the match play goes on. I'm convinced more and more guys will use it in the future and before you know it it will takeover the game

Whats your hostility about its nothing more than a discussion of an unpopular opinion no one needs to dig up old material like a lawyer to feel like you won a meaningless debate.

[playa]

Not an advantage. For someone to switch to that method means they already have mental issues with putting and are just looking for something to bring them back to average.

Clearly you never heard of Matt Kuchar and clearly you didnt see Bryson Dechambeau make everything this week

 

Over the long run, switching to that method takes a bigger hit to their mental psyche than any good week putting can make up for. They're subconsciously reminding themselves they're bad at putting every time they step on the green.

I would think a week of sinking everything you look at would be great for your confidence, and could be used as a reminder that you can putt.

[Loki]

LMAO, how can it be cheating when both ends of the club are moving through space? Anyone that uses the "Kuchar" stroke should not be labeled a cheater. That's the point of the ruling.

 

The fact that only a few people do something does not mean something shouldn't be illegal.

Seriously? ROTFL

 

I've always thought it strange that some golfers can take something that is expressly allowed, and call it cheating.

 

Anything for attention I guess...

[mjen43]

I think it reinforces technically incorrect mechanics. By having the putter held up against your left arm you have to essentially handle drag through impact. I think it inhibits proper release and free swinging of the club on a very small scale.

[Hawkeye77]

It's not a discussion, it's a "look at me [proven hypocrite] starting a thread calling Matt Kuchar a cheater" - plenty wrong with that.

The side saddle is legal what are you talking about. They deemed his putter illegal after I made that post. As for you statement, opinions...everyone has them including you..how strange

Take it easy with the matt kuchar is a cheater nonsense stop reaching you know what my title says. The side saddle is a legal technique, it is the center shafted putter that bryson was using that was illegal. Side saddle doesn't have the advantage the arm lock has. The arm lock is a huge advantage to me Im not sure why you're fighting my words your actions are no good

[anth]

A lot of missing the point going on in this thread. Please don't say things like "if it was such an advantage everyone would be doing it" to justify the armlock method. That exact same argument was made for anchored putting and they still banned it.

 

For the record, I was not in favour of the anchored ban. I just don't see how you can ban anchoring, but allow this method? Especially if we're talking about the "spirit" of the game.

 

Also, interesting to note that the armlock style is only legal as long as the putter handle is below the elbow. Above the elbow is illegal. Why? If it's legal then it's legal - having the handle above or below the elbow line should not change that.

Yes, I certainly can read:

 

"Kuchar style putting is cheating"

 

 

What am I missing? Yes, it is nonsense, so why post it?

"Kuchar style putting is cheating....":.

 

"Take it easy with the Kuchar is cheating nonsense"

 

FFS dude.

[Petunia Sprinkle]

Most of the putters used, these days, puzzle me as to how they conform to the 'plain in shape' rule. Most of them look like alien birth control devices. (I would, of course, exempt the Directed Force putter, a putter I'd covet were it not for my beloved Tuttle.)

[Vindog]

Personally I think it ruins the essence of what putting is all about. It's all feel. Change everything else but putting should be the way it has been played for hundreds of years. Its half the game and its a huge advantage.

 

How do you know what stroke they used hundreds of years ago?

 

 

If you're a good putter you cant miss a straight putt with it

 

If you're a good putter you won't miss straight putts in general. And if you're a bad putter you'll miss them regardless.

[G.O.A.T]

Nothing wrong with having a Sunday discussion while the match play goes on. I'm convinced more and more guys will use it in the future and before you know it it will takeover the game

 

It's not a discussion, it's a "look at me [proven hypocrite] starting a thread calling Matt Kuchar a cheater" - plenty wrong with that.

 

Take it easy with the matt kuchar is a cheater nonsense stop reaching you know what my title says. The side saddle is a legal technique, it is the center shafted putter that bryson was using that was illegal. Side saddle doesn't have the advantage the arm lock has. The arm lock is a huge advantage to me Im not sure why you're fighting my words your actions are no good

 

Yes, I certainly can read:

 

"Kuchar style putting is cheating"

 

 

What am I missing? Yes, it is nonsense, so why post it?

 

The guy is saying Im calling Matt Kuchar a cheater and thats not what I intended. If I can change the title to "Arm lock putting style is cheating to me" I would. This thread is simply an opinion based on the rules of golf nothing personal

[Vindog]

A lot of missing the point going on in this thread. Please don't say things like "if it was such an advantage everyone would be doing it" to justify the armlock method. That exact same argument was made for anchored putting and they still banned it.

 

For the record, I was not in favour of the anchored ban. I just don't see how you can ban anchoring, but allow this method? Especially if we're talking about the "spirit" of the game.

 

Also, interesting to note that the armlock style is only legal as long as the putter handle is below the elbow. Above the elbow is illegal. Why? If it's legal then it's legal - having the handle above or below the elbow line should not change that.

 

My guess is that is has something to do with what, or where, they consider the "anchor point" to be crossing the line. Maybe the upper arm being connected to the body, or that they consider anything past the hinge of the elbow to be good enough. In their statements justifying the anchor ban they mentioned the free swinging arms and the ability to control them as something they considered to be an important part of the game.

 

Just my assesment

[MtlJeff]

I agree that it's odd this style is allowed and anchoring is not. But i have to stress, i have very, very little regard for the USGA. So it's not surprising to me....

How is it anchoring if both ends of the club are moving through space?

[Cwing]

OP stated "Kuchar style putting is cheating".

 

OP statement is clearly wrong. Kuchar "style" putting is legal within the rules of golf.
