Hello, I'm new to the site, but the game!, I purchased a Wilson Kirk Currie III, about 6_7 yrs. Ago, great putter, lots of adjustment to it...I am looking for input of a new putter..what do you suggest? I am a 38 yr old,male, with a 9 hand I cap, and have just recently got back into the game from some time off from it. Going to sell the Wilson for $50, with all the weights and tool

What are your weaknesses that the new putter must offset, so to speak?

Not really any weaknesses... per say, just looking for insight on different one, or where to start...in the end the putter chooses you really.. nothing against the Cameron's, but had the studio's and the red x, and never really seen enough benifit to justify the extra $$, awesome clubs, and impectable craftsmanship and attention to detail---but just not my choose- what else do you need to know about my game etc...let me know and I will answer it.

Lots of boutique makers out there but no one fits custom like Edel. As you said, the putter chooses you, and nowhere else is that more apt than edel

I've tried the TaylorMade spider blade counterbalance the other day. Men it felt good, gave me a good feel on long and short putts. Just lovely balance in the stroke. Have a loo at that one, think the price is $199.

If you get a putter that feels good to you and fits your stroke, nothing else really matters. As far as off the rack putters go, putter X is no better than putter Y. Getting a fitted putter may well be worth the money. But if you have trepidation about shelling out for a Scotty, I doubt you'll be after a fitted putter.

Just spend a lot of time at golf shops putting with as many putters as you can to see what you like. There are literally hundreds of putter/grip/weight options.

This... the process that they go through to get you the right putter is second to none. Well worth checking out and finding a fitter near you.

Here is a thread I started about my Edel fitting:

Wow, that fitting process sounds great! You know, this forum sometimes costs me a bit of money... I am now ultra-tempted to schedule a fitting for myself now...

I've been thinking of trying out a putter with a thick grip on it and I was talking to one of buddies that I play with and he told me that someone gave him a putter that they had come across somewhere and it had a big grip. I asked him to bring it next time we played so he brought it out on Friday and low and behold it was a freaking Scotty Cameron Squareback No. 1. My buddy is an ultra causal player so he had no idea what it was. I told him that he had a $300 that had been sitting in his closet for who knows how long. He is letting me borrow it and I played three rounds this weekend with it and I can honestly say that I have never had a single piece of equipment immediately improve my game to such a degree. I played this morning and I only had two three puts the entire round. Needless to say I highly recommend it and if my buddy doesn't let me buy it from him then I will be buying a new one.

I've had an Odyssey White Hot XG Rossie for maybe 5-6 years now.  Love it.  I've tried out several high end putters over the years (typically just trying out a buddy's on the practice green type of thing out of curiosity), but the Odyssey Rossie style just seems to fit me perfectly.  I did however also really like the Odyssey Black Series #9.

There are a lot of guys on here that has done the Edel fitting and swear by it, I am on my last putter if this one does not fit what I am looking for I will be going to Edel to see what they have to offer. Dont just by a putter for the name, I am sure there are many that bought a Scotty just because they could.

Go and try them all, have a fitter tell you the type of stroke you have and narrow it down, it is a totally personal piece of equipment.

It absolutely drives me NUTS the way people  behave when talking about  a mass produced, very common putter like this as if it is something special and rare.

He had "no idea what it was".   It was a putter, that's what it was.

It seems that any newbie golfer who reads golf forums gets the idea that there is something innately amazing about these putters.

You may like them, you may not.

They are like any other quality golf club.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

He had a $300 putter and he had no idea of its worth or quality. I think that's worth mentioning. Thanks for the comment.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.

      Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
