Bye Bye Long putter

[NM Golf]

I put the long putter in the closet today and broke down and bought a Scotty Cameron Circa 62 no. 2. Took it out on the course for the first time today and putted pretty well. I did not make all that many longer putts but I didn't 3 putt either. Shot 72 with 31 putts, not all that bad for me.

Those Circa 62 putters sure are beautiful little putters. Hope the new stick works out great for you. Seems like it already has!

I used a 49" putter for a couple of years and when I went back to the short putter I was a lot better with it than ever before. I think the long putter really groved the mechanics of my putting stroke. It conditioned me to rock my shoulders and release smoothly.

This is a rather interesting point.

I used a couple of the large headed, game improvement, "go ahead and hit it off center" putters for a while. Missed too many short putts. Good long range distance control though.

I too pony'd up the cash for a Cameron. Newport Beach blade specifically. I was really astounded by the results.

My confidence from 6 ft in is now VERY HIGH with this Cameron. My long putt conversion hasn't really changed, but this putter has such great feel that I make many more putts than I should from 10 feet in. A very noticable difference for the better than my older mallet stroke improvers.

Maybe the other putters trained me, I don't know, but I am happier with my putting now.
