My putter is not "new" but when I did buy it ne it made a huge difference in my putting. I used to have an old Nike blade putter that I had used for years. I was at a demo day and tried the Ping Craz-e putter and instantly fell in love with the way it felt.

I used to pull a lot of putts with the blade, but no using this Ping putter is is just so much more comfortable to line up and swing. I very rarely miss putts by much now and have cut my 3 putts by probably close to 80% if not more.

I remember when I added my 2-ball putter to my arsenal. I had just started using and enjoying mallet head putters. I had a Never Compromise that just didn't work well for me on distance control....it seemed to offer up nuked puts too often.

Anyway, the 2-ball fit me well and the feel is exactly what I like. I use it on most rounds.....but it thrives for me on the faster greens. Some of the local county courses that have the rougher greens get my Ping. It's sort of a quirky combo that I've worked out that seems to do okay for me.

A well fitted putter is a thing of beauty.

Without a doubt my new putter made a huge difference. I think it is 50% mental and 50% actually the putter. I have so much more feel and confidence with my scotty. It is set up perfect for me and I am sinking more putts then I ever have.

    • Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.
    • I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"
    • For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
