Have a Tommy Armor Iron Master Putter that I've been putterring around with lately in practice and dropping everything in sight. The leather grip (I believe original) is very dry and starting to fall apart. Contemplating to regrip the blade. This putter is a 40-50+ year old classic.

any thoughts?

If you plan on playing with it then definately re-grip. In reality it is probably worthless so regrip regardless.

Get a grip as close to the same weight and shape as possible. Otherwise you could tweak the swingweight or your stroke, and thus your mojo.

The Antique Road show part of me says have it appraised for value before touching the putter.

Thanks for the input guys.
I'll see if it has any value before I do anything. Maybe I should leave well enough alone as mentioned by a couple of you so as not to altar what's been working.

    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
