Hey everyone, I have recieved a 35" Red X2 as a gift with standard loft/lie, and am a little confused with some info I have found on it. Is this putter a face-balanced fully centered shaft putter? I putt with an arc stroke and am hoping I will be able to still putt well with it. I have heard from some that it is face balanced and suited for straight back and through, and also that it has 1/4 toe hang and is perfect for the arc stroke.

If anyone can clarify this for me it would be great! I am picking the putter up sometime tomorrow and hope Ill like it. Thanks

Scotty cameron is a swinging door putter guy... I think he only designs toe weighted putters but I don't know 100%.

Scotty designs both, but believes that the "art of putting" (so to say) is the "swinging door putter" type.

I am almost 100% sure on this.

Forget all that technical specs, just try it! If you don't like it, sell it!

The Red X2 has a straight, no-offset shaft that is positioned just back of center. It also has a really nice sound. It is a face balance putter. I have been playing it for 3 years and just love it...
If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

Yes, Scotty is particular not to call it "center-shafted" because it's just off center (towards the inside), not truly, truly centered.

I think that putter may be face balanced, but that's irrelevant: Scotty believes that because the putter's lie angle is at least 10 degrees from vertical, it should swing in an arc.

Well thanks for all the responses. I picked it up today and was putting around with it, and the verdict is.... I LOVE THE THING! It rolls the ball very nicely. I found out that it is not face-balanced, it has a little toe hang to it and fits my stroke just fine. Thanks again

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      At address? I think so. Downswing and through? IDK. I doubt if a whole lot of golfers, if any at all, deliberately think "I have a 9-iron so I need to bend half an inch more through the downswing compared to my 8 iron".

      What Are You Listening To?

      By guitarget ·

      I am listening to 23rd Street.  24 hours a day of cars, trucks, planes, sirens, and neighbors who start lawn mowers at 6:30am. I try to drown it out with 7,600 WAVE music files on a huge USB drive.  Mostly 1950's through 1990's music.

      Thanks! Evolvr, for sure. My indoors setup is pretty close to ready. I want to add a few more lights as it's a pretty dark place to begin with (old barn). Plan to use my iPhone 14 Pro, 720p 240 FPS. I think I got a tripod somewhere, but I nail everything down so I'll make a small box I can just plop the phone into. That way I know it's always in the same spot and level. How does the setup look in terms of angles and stuff.  I saw that topic and bookmarked it for later. A technique where you want the head to move forward and down? I've been doing that for twenty years! (not on purpose) 😛 Looks fun, I'll certainly try it out. £7000. That's certainly "down the line". What would be a good price? Thanks. I'll probably hold off until at least winter comes and see where we're living at that point. For the next six months I'll combine indoor practice with the range, which helps.
