So whats the feel difference with the different offsets in putters? From a full shaft, 1/2 shaft or no offset? I have only hit full shaft offsets so I am not too familiar with the others.

Its really just preference, when choosing a putter just make sure it lies flat on the ground during your swing, I see enough odysee 2 ball putters set up almost 45* upright it makes me want to puke...

I have a Scotty Circa 62 # 3 right now, and my toe is higher than I want it to be. I was trying out the California Scotty's and I love the weight to them. But, I noticed that the Del Mar sat flatter for me than the Monterey, but the Del Mar doesn't have much shaft offset, and I have never played with one like that. But, man did it feel good!

I've been hitting the Adams A7 putters at the golf shop lately, and I'm trying to figure out the difference too. I'm not sure if I want or don't want offset; the models I'm looking at (60,61,65) come in full, half, and 3/4 shaft offset.

I don't know if it is true or not....but I've heard from multiple people that if you have a forward press putting setup/stroke, you want an off set putter. This will help you to square the face to the ball.

Then again..... Phil Mickelson has as much forward press as I've ever seen and he uses a putter with no offset. But I think he's the exception. If you think about it, by forward pressing you are de-lofting the putter face - which I would imagine doesn't let you put the best roll on the ball.

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?

      Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
