Hi all, had my first true putter fitting this past week at the new club champion in va. beach.  First a shout out to Caleb for a first rate and informative time.  Arrived at the store and Caleb just talked abut my game and my expectations for a few minutes, he explained how the fitting would go and how the sam putting lab works.  Took my gamer and measured loft and lie .  Had me roll a few with my gamer to get warmed up, then the fun began. Got calibrated with the sam and rolled 7 putts from 10 feet, I hit five of seven with both misses being right.  We looked at the sam results and determined my length 32 inches was spot on, I'm an old school croucher over the ball.  After that found out that I aim 3.2 degrees open at address, might explain a lot of right misses, also that I swing up 1 degree on contact.  Stroke is very slight arc.  He then bent a ping voss anser to my specs 67 lie 1 deg loft and had me roll a combination of putts from different distances.  I was amazed how much of a difference changing the specs just a bit made.  During the fitting I hit pretty much every putter they had as I was recommended a blade and have always played anser style putters stuck with slight toe hang putter.  Needless to say I am a believer in the sam lab fitting process.

    • Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow. 
    • Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills. 
    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
