Sadly for Daly, the epoxy on the hosel of his putter gave way late in the round, which contributed to three-putt bogeys on his final two holes for a 67. He was furious as he headed to the trailer to get it fixed.

Seriously, buy some SuperGlue or something, Dunlop.

Sounds like the same problem DiMarco had with his driver at the Masters, and many others have had. The quick-set epoxy used in many tour vans doesn't hold up as well as the stuff that is typically used at the factory. This is the downside for tour players who are constantly reshafting/tinkering, then expect to be able to go out and play with a club in a few minutes. It might hold for a while, but the long-term failure rate is much higher.

Daly's case(s) strike me as odd, though. These are putters. Unless they are heating the hosel to bend the lie (and weakening the epoxy in the process), there isn't much reason for the epoxy to go bad. Nice pub for Dunlop, eh?

If you sniff it too many times, maybe!

    • I saw The Deuce as well. ... At least pictures of it.  Seems everyone is bringing out a mini-driver this year.  I actually had no intention of getting one, but the PXG salesperson tricked me. He said something to the effect of "Hey, you wanna try this mini-driver?" ... Sneaky bastard. 
    • Day 37: 1/16/2025 Really good practice today. Did a bunch of mirror work early in the AM; before anyone else in the house woke up. Basically working on this. Later, on lunch, I had time to swing by the range and work on it some more. Basically what I did was drag over one of the mirrors they have at the range; Do between 1 and 4 slow mo practice swings looking at the mirror focusing on improving the above. After the slow-mo swings I'd then hit a shot at regular speed. I rotated between the PW, 8 iron, 6 iron and 5 wood. Hitting one shot with each club, choosing the club at random. 👍😁👍
    • Good Luck!!  I saw today about Cobra getting in on it by “dropping a duece” 
    • I'd like to offer advice, but I'm not sure what you are asking. You made several statements, but none of them seem problematic.  Sounds like you like to keep your wrists loose when hitting a driver. You like to hit your 7 iron. Somebody said your swing is fast. Are you asking for help in clarifying what Hogan said?  I'm not trying to be jerk-like. I am not sure what you want advice on.
