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

      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.
