I disagree here. I have been through many putter and was never even a fair
putter. Last fall I splurged on a Heavy Putter and now I think I am a
pretty good putter. Maybe it is between the ears but I can now approach
most putts with a lot of confidence and make a lot.

I just finished reading the article about new putters in this month's
edition of "Golf". I got to wondering; does anyone really believe the crap
the mfr's are trying to sell?
MOI, better roll, shorter/longer, heavier/lighter, 2 ball, 2 bar, tungsten
weights, copper weights, steel weight, peripheral weights, face balanced,
toe heavy, heel heavy, center weights, center shafts, bent shafts,
straight shafts, short shafts, long shafts. The list goes on.
Then I watch Woods make a zillion putts with a Cameron Karsten Solheim
Anser knockoff and wonder what the hell all the hype is about. Either you
can putt, or you can't, and the multi-gizmo ugly, $300 branding iron won't
make you a good putter. (And does anyone agree with me that
Cameron's Ping knockoff is no better than the original?)
Oh sure, I have about a dozen putters, and I've tried out just about every
new one that came along. I have yet to find one better than the ca 1967
Ping "Z" Blade I've used for years. I'm a pretty good putter (thankfully,
cuz I can't hit a green these days), and I do o.k. with most any of the
tools out there. However I cannot imagine why anyone would spend a bunch
of money for a putter that won't do any better than any other putter.
As the old saying goes, it ain't the bowling ball, it's the bowler - or
something like that.
Rantingly yours;
