I have a Heavy Putter B1-M, which feels like a sledge hammer, and is great for quieting the hands.

Great tips! I personally put an arrow on my balls to help for aiming.

Hey! Here's a where we can talk about everything putting. Let's start with a few questions:

Scotty Cameron American Classic Bullseye Blade

Best tip: distance control is the key to the long putt Best putt: 40 foot breaking putt Worst putt: sidehill 3 foot putt that became a 3 putt Difficult greens: Plan the approach shot. Use the rangefinder to determine how green looks from a distance. Best to be on same plane as hole, or putt uphill.

I use an Odyssey hawk. A model I bought at dicks, didnt know anything about anything, it was 120, which was less than the 2 balls yet still a mallet, which I wanted.

Best putt was a birdie putt from 20 feet, across a green, down one tier. First birdie of my life. Last year.

This weekend was a good putting weekend, had 13 putts for 9 holes, although I scored a 50.

Im straight back and straight through. I maintain the same general rhythm/speed for most putts, just adding backswing for more distance.

Lately, I try to pick up on an artifact I want to hit, a small blemish, a bit of a ball mark, etc... after reading the line and aim for that, not the hole. It is working for me.
