I might have a problem…

I’m all for having a putter collection (and trust me this is only about 1/2 if them) but in all seriousness does anyone else struggle with what they want to look at? 
 

putting practice has turned into taking a bunch of sticks and trying to determine what looks and feels right. I’ve never had this much trouble determining what I want to see…

4-8 Toulon putters isn’t a problem. When you start mixing in some more expensive custom boutique putters, then it kind of is a problem. And when you start mixing in even more ridiculously expensive boutique putters then it may start to become an even bigger problem. But if it ain’t a problem for @Phabs then it ain’t for the rest of us. What else are you going to spend your money on? Hint: spend it on putters and enjoy your life.

Finding a head shape, neck and setup takes some time to do but when you get there the fun or addiction can begin. 

 

I learned what worked best for me through trail and error as well as some fittings.

I went for a putting fitting about 15 years ago that got me into the right shape etc for me. Same putter now for 15 years with a duplicate as a practice putter/ back up at home.

 

As I am committed to the putter I know it is me not the putter when things go off.

Yeah, putter swings change wouldn’t hurt to get refit or a putter lesson.

Work with tour tempo (2:1 timing, 1:1 force), have a putter fitted to you for size and swing arc, do your homework on the putt before addressing the ball - from that point only look back and forth from the ball to the hole (staring more at the hole).  You should be looking at the hole, imagining only good things at that point 😎

As a reformed putter ho, this was a must for me ... the "putter of the week" club was killing my scores and my sanity. Had to come to the realization as beautiful as putters are, they're a tool. Collecting is fine. But for actually playing, I had to commit. A simple Ping Stainless Anser 2 fit the bill.

Pics/collections like this make me wish I putt RH, then I realized I wouldn't have any money if I did.

Piretti Goat?  I’m presuming you don’t mean the Scotty 009 (Tiger/Goat)?  I’d love to own the Scotty 009 again, mine lasted 6 weeks before it was stolen while using the restroom at Bethpage Black GC.

I can't really look at anything but a blade. Folks talk about SGI irons looking clunky then bust out a monster mallet putter for the easiest shot in the game. 🤣

 

That being said, I have my old one from '89, my new one from a few months ago, and now I think this off season I will pick up an 8802 or Napa style blade. Not really a "collection", but more than 1 of anything is considered a collection, so there is that.

 

<edit> "easy" as in the amount of force applied, not the difficulty.

It's not a problem, it's a pursuit.
