Well i've been playing a minimum of once a week since the week after new years, and the worst part of my game is putting. I am currently using the putter that came in my RAM box set. Would buying a new putter help my putting? Or do i just need to keep play and eventually it will come with time? Thanks

Its not going to be some magical fix to your putting game but getting a new putter that feels better isn't going to be a bad thing ;)

If you want one then go for it! I recently got a new one and couldn't be happier with it.

I agree with darkhunter139.  A new putter is not going to make you sink everything, but in my opinion it will help you if the feels better.  I just upgraded to a better putter and the way it feels in my hands is just so much better.  I am sinking more because I have confidence in the putter that I have now.  It is going to help, but you will still have to practice your putting.

A quality newer putter is probably going to help you sink more putts than the one that came with your Ram set simply because its going to be a better putter.  Id suggest trying out either a Ping Anser, Cleveland Classic or a TM Est 79.  Any of those can be had for less than $100 and are quality putters.

It won't make you worse, that's about all I can say.  Putters are putters, feel different, look different-all do about the same thing.  I just had one of my best putting rounds ever with a 50 or 60 year old blade putter with a round grip, first time I used it on the course.  If you have the funds by all means get yourself a new putter, you're probably at the point of not liking the old one even if you were putting well with it.

It could....

Ive literally gone through maybe 8 Putters in 2 years. Wound up getting talked into a new  White Ice from my old DF770 and I couldnt be happier, the weighting and balance of it are just perfect for me. That and its gorgeous to look down on.

However I started out with a really cheap 12$ Building 19 putter, my friend gave me his older Dunlop that was about 40-50$ new. This thing literally destroyed my handicap in the few rounds I used it for, it was just soo heavy and hit the ball like crackhead no feel to it at all.

More expensive and Newer < Feel

If you are going to spend some $$$ on a putter, why not through some at some lessons while you are at it.  That might be money better spent right now than a new stick.

If money is an issue...

Change the grip on your Ram first.  See what happens.  Do some searches for some quality practice putting drills.  Work on it a week or two on days you aren't playing.  If that doesn't help and the new grip doesn't freshen up the old putter so you improve, pull the trigger on something else.

It's ridiculous... I know.  You don't even want to know what they go for.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
