Poll : Toe Hang or Not and how did you determine

Someday I’m going to get one of your blades and test it against my Seemore.  Right now the Seemore is behaving too well for me to experiment, but I’m interested to see how the torque performs versus the face balanced at impact.  If I eventually get one it will also be interesting to see how the face balanced/no torque works versus the toe hang.

I hate being this guy because I like the seemore guys but there is absolutely no such thing as face balanced at impact.

Can you expand on this?  They use such a peculiar shape that it seems like their must be some reason.  Like the lab putters, they are not the most aesthetic pleasing, but also like the lab putters they work well enough that it’s easy to overlook the aesthetics.  I guess what I’m saying is that they do seem to return to square easier for me than most other putters I’ve tried.  Are you saying that “face balanced at impact” just doesn’t mean anything?  How about the Edel “torque balanced”?

Im using a center shafted ping tyne.  I seem to aim it good.  My putting stroke is more of a slice (out to in).

I had a plumbers neck anser style putter before but i pulled a ton of short putts with it.  I also have a 2 ball ten tour lined but I haven't got the feel down with it.

 

I had a putter fitting earlier this year that showed i was standing too close to the ball and they recommended the shaft form a line with my forearms.  Its very uncomfortable to putt that way for some reason.

The fitting also showed I tend to aim left

Their flagship FGP is a full toe hang putter. Because of the shaft location it DOES have less torque than most putters. Similar torque profile to a bullseye. And yeah, I have no idea what face balanced at impact means. In our reveal, an FGP does the same as a bullseye. It is trying to work close in the takeaway and then open in transition.

 

Regarding edel, they are in the same family as LAB though the way they are trying to reduce torque has some drawbacks. I made a little video about some of us who are exploring torque as the issue with putters. I included the TB stuff from Edel. link below. Dave Edel is another who I have NOTHING but respect for. top five smartest minds in putting IMO.
