Putter good for blocking short putt issue

[ezra76]

I can't make anything inside 5ft. on the course. Miss right 95% of the time. Hundreds of hours of practice. I'm at 60% fairways over 250, 8GiR and still a 15.2 handicap. Hit it great last night and had 20 putts for 9 holes. Missed 2 birds inside 4ft.. Need like a draw bias putter.

If I understand how this works a face balanced should be good for you

What putter are you using now?

If it’s that reliable, maybe just aim left and play the block.

Need more info, what are you playing now? Is a right miss always your miss? What's your eye dominance? Putt flag in or out up close? 

 

These all matter.

I have 3 in rotation. Strokelab Rossie S 33.25" Laguna 2018 model 34" and my old Wilson KC 2 milled 34". 

 

I got the Scotty for a steal and should probably trade or resell as it's mint. 

 

My kid kind of already took the SL and since Rahm is his favorite guy I'd be a jerk to take it back.

Yah the only thing I can make is a right to left breaker, for real.

Flag out usually, at least if the putt matters. Left eye dominant, right handed. I listed the putters above.

Players who miss a lot of short putts often do better with larger, stable mallets. 
 

I would not fit off eye dominance. I am left eye dominant and play right handed and have had numerous fitters tell me there is no pattern and it is a golf forum myth to say that it means go for a zero offset or center shafted putter. It definitely was not my fit. An Edel fitter told me in hundreds of fittings the answer is everyone is different. He has seen no pattern on eye dominance and putter fit, and that alignment lines make a real difference and a much bigger difference. 
 

It could be simply a mental block affecting your stroke. Maybe you are not putting freely. An Axis1 putter might help you. Those putters have perfectly balanced weighting and stay on track by themselves. For anyone with a stroke that gets off going back, they solve that problem.

OP with what you said sounds like we have a similar issue and it's not a putter issue it's an alignment issue. Do you use a line on your ball when you putt? If not I'd suggest you do and also suggest you try that out on the practice green first. 

 

Have a line that's like 1/3 of the ball to where you can see the line if you stand behind it and when you're overtop the ball. Set up your line behind the ball, set up your putter to that line, it will look weird looking at the hole but trust the line more than your eyes and hit the putt, if it goes where you were aiming it's an eye thing. But it will also be a good help cause if you see the ball rolling end over end you know it's a good stroke and you're not blocking the putt as well. 

 

Just try it out it's something I've had to learn and it has helped my putting with my sh*t eyes tricking me.

Where are you putting the ball in your stance? Forward, middle, back?

Without any other details, it's impossible to know if it is a stroke issue, an alignment issue, or a putter head/neck fit issue
