Are center-shafted putters more ideal for people want straight-back staright through putting strokes? If not center-shafted than what?

Read the forum thread with the answer from Scotty Cameron.

IMHO - the answer is yes. I used heel shafted putters in the past and discovered that I've much more accuracy on straight putts when I use C/S - and I think I'm straight-back-straight-through kinda guy. Another thing is - for a heel-shafted putter to be good - it has to be good... as stupid as it sounds - if it's not perfectly weighted (like cameron's for example) - you'll see bigger effect on a off-center hit than the center shafted one. It's kind of like comparing blade iron to a cavity back -that concentration of weight far behind hitting surface allows for more stability on off-center hits.... I don't think I ever go back from C/S.

Which center-shafted putters have you tried? Any comment on each of them, if you would.

not too many... I switch my irons and driver at least once per season, but putters stay longer in my bag

I tried : 1. Futura from Cameron - way too "busy" looking down at it, that aluminum-like sound drove me nuts too 2. Taylor Made Monza - liked the balance, but the head was too light for me. Once they came out with the adjustible weight: 3. Taylor Made Corza - love it. look, feel, balance and the fact that I could use my r7's screws and add 20g extra to it... I think it will stay in the bag for a while.

Though I'm primarily a heel-shafted kinda guy, I do have one center-shafted model that I sometimes break out if I'm having a little trouble with alignment. For some reason, occasionally I'll get into an "every putt misses left" rut, and I use a Ping G5i mini-c to get myself out of it. It's really easy to line up, it has a nice balance to it, and the blue insert feels pretty sweet...

For me, sometimes you need to shake things up every once in a while when it comes to putters. For others, I know they like to see the same putter down there for years. Whatever works.

      2026 U.S. Open

      By saevel25 · Posted

      The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.
