How long does it normally take you after getting a new putter to get used to it?

After 38 putts the last 2 rounds I'm thinking about going back to my old one.

I've played with it for 4 rounds w/38,34,38 & 38 and I was 31-33 with my old one.
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

That happens with everyone, The new putter can have different technology or a different method than your old one, and it takes getting used to. Maybe not as hard of a stroke, etc.

I'd say it takes about 10 rounds to get used to.

If you were 31-33 with your old one, why did you buy a new one?

Yeah, that's a good question. Most people putt better with their new putters.

Yeah, 31-33 putts is pretty darn good. I wouldn't have touched anything new.

I'd give it at least 3 more rounds and don't focus on it so much. Try to have confidence.

I had tried this putter a few different times and really liked it, then saw it used here on tST and got what I think was a pretty good deal on it. I think a big part of it is I'm not used to the weight for lag putts.......I had my old putter for 23 years, so I guess this one will take a little getting used to.

Yeah well if it feels good then just work with it to build up confidence and you should be putting just as good if not better than with your old putter. Also, if you had your old putter for 23 years, it will take you a little while to get used to your new putter.

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

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      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.
