What the hell is up with that putting style? This is getting out of hand.

I wonder if experimenting that much with the grip and style is really useful. Look at Vijay, he's been through a host of styles, but they rarely stick.

Didn't get to see KJ, are there any videos out there?

All I know is he plays pretty well the first couple of rounds and then falls off. I don't know if his putter is the problem but this is a extreme change to make mid season. He seems to be not too bad with it.

Funny how the pro´s get down on "our" level of thinking when they putt bad - its the equipment, its the grip, its the putting style. Yeah i slice every club 150y right so i guess i need some of this new equipment that lets me set my clubface 10° shut so i can hit a nice "penetrating" draw........... LOOOOL

Was surprised to see this yesterday while watching a little golf on TV. I thought KJ was a solid putter, why the change? Take a look is this the new thing now?

I came up with that two years ago, tried it for an entire summer. Used a belly length putter. I found my aim was good, buy I was unable to develop a very good feel for speed. It's basically like a bowling stance or pitching horse shoes. It looks like Choi has his right food forward, I did it with my left foot forward (again, like bowling). I have since settled on a fairly short putter (33") and have an open stance and have been putting very good, I don't even worry about those 5-6 foot par saves anymore. If I've read it right, it goes in.

In my :nike:  bag on my :clicgear: cart ...

Maybe he should have stuck with his old putter. He got cut.

Sam Snead tried the same style around the end of his golfing career. KJ didn't putt bad enough to resort to this thing.

Looks absolutely ridiculous. I sometimes wonder what goes through their minds; does he genuinely believe it's a long term fix for his putting 'problems'? Redundant.

I thought they made that style of putting illegal, or is that just when the ball is in between your legs like Snead had it? I know the style of putting Sam Snead used is supposedly illegal now. But KJ, oh man, that's just wrong on so many levels.

It's not illegal, no, and if you asked people to roll a ball to the hole they'd probably adopt a posture quite a bit like Choi's. Perhaps the way we putt is not ideal... and people only putt the way they do for fear of ridicule.

Playing devil's advocate a bit. Except for the "legality" part.

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
