The website is still up and running, but I wouldn't be surprise if it went out, though.

It's sad, but after years of trying equipments (including putters), I couldn't find myself to convince to what they were offering. While there are many putter makers out there offering something that looked better with more value. I can imagine a lot more golfers feel the same way as I did. The overall concept of the C-Groove technology is weak, in my opinion. Other than that, they didn't seem to put anything new on the table. Not to mention tons of counterfeits putters that are being made daily.

With the combination of those things, I have to say that I admire Yes! for staying as long as it did.

This might sound flippant given the topic, but is absolutely not meant to. Their rep here recently committed suicide.

Completely the opposite. Their putters look terrible, but I love the feel. They provide just enough feedback to know you struck it well. They actually do produce better roll on longer putts.

Well, get em while you can. That explains the deep discounts I've seen with the online vendors.

That is probably a reflection of your putting stroke. Yes! makes fine putters which feel beautiful.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

This is also my experience. I have recently moved to the centre shaft Hanna and I have NEVER made so may putts in the 6-20 foot range in my life. Maybe I need to buy up the reminaing stock of Hanna's that are still around

doesnt suprize me
i felt the c-groove wasnt a great design and not having a big following on tour probably didnt help
i mean if they actually paid some tour players to use their gear, it would have made a bigger presence for them, therefore increasing sales

there are a lot of golfers out there that play what their favorite PGA guy or gal plays, regardless if it suits their game or not

never wish bad upon a business owner (as i am one myslef) but ultimately a poor design and lack or marketing lead to their doors closing

I received the following email today from the course I'm a member at...

This Saturday, the Yes Putter Representative will be out at Champions for a Demo Day. He will be selling all of his putters to you at his cost. Please come by and check it out. If you are interesting in buying a putter from him, he will only be accepting cash. Look forwad to seeing you tomorrow. Proshop staff

I've never received an email like that from the pro shop; usually, the emails you get are about the rep being there but that never an explicit mention of clubs being on sale as cost and for cash only. It almost sounds like they are trying to dump as much inventory as they can.

If they are filing bankruptcy, the owners are trying to get all the cash they can before their creditors step in and lock the doors.

It goes to show you that even if you are big on the Euro tour, if you want to make it as a manufacturer you have to get some play on the PGA, and that means endorsement money, which means deep pockets. They should have looked to sell froma position of strength.

I doubt most casual golfers would know of Yes!. Without some pro's playing and endorsing them, most people walk right past their displays in the stores.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
