Boy oh boy. I did it.
I traded in my Scotty Newport 2 for the Heavy Putter A3-M. I could not be more happy. This thing has been a godsend. I am living out here at PGA West in La Quinta. The greens are lightning fast...anyway, this thing is so TRUE. The weight takes out all the little yippies in my stroke. It's a little wierd not seeing that Scotty head cover in my bag...but I'll take it.

I've messed around with one on a putting matt but have never taken one out on the course. I have always liked a heavier feeling putter, but not that heavy. A lot of people love the club though so there must be something to it.

OH and by the way.... do you have a spare room? Its cold in Idaho and I would love to play PGA West again LMAO

Tough location for golf...geez. I tend to putt a little truer with a heavier putter myself but unfamiliar with that one. Good luck with it.

Troy Matteson uses the Heavy putter on Tour. Won him the Nationwide Money Title in 2005 and a PGA tournament in 2007. So you know there's got to be something to it.

I use a relatively heavy Maltby "Prophet" component putter (cheap, BTW) and added about 80 grams of lead tape to the bottom. I just can't find a downside to a heavier putter and imperfect ball contact no longer matters.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
