I started playing golf again about a year ago and couldn't hit the Odyssey White 2-Ball putter to save my life and had to change back to my old Dual Force 990. Was I the only one that couldn't putt with it?

Putters are very person to person.

There's no one putter fits all solution out there.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

The 990 is a solid putter...I have one and my partner Mr. Shanky still games his.

I hated my friends 2 ball putter. It has no mass weight in it at all. For long putts, I tended to always pull or push my putts cause I kept having to use more force to hit the ball due to lack of weight in the club.

I tried it when I started to get serious about golf and I thought it had good weighting but I just couldnt aim with it. The 2 ball alignment just was not for me.

Actually got it for Christmas...with the line...lovin' it!

I got a 2 ball back in 2009, was deadly from about 5 foot in.  never seem to miss anything from that range.

however i noticed whenever I had a longer lag putt I was leaving myself either way too long or short.  As some mentioned above it was fairly light.  I swapped it out for a White Hot Tour Blade style which is heavier and havent looked back.  The heavier putter helped me dial in the lag putts.

OK, I got my putter, the 2 Ball Blade Lined.  The lines really make a difference.  I have been using it along with a new path trainer (IDL) and have had success with it especially on the 5 and in range.  So far so good as I am hitting my line more often.  I just have to start reading the putts better.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
