His Nike Method putter…

Thoughts?

I think Tiger putts well when his overall game is good.

The reasons for his change could be different things, but I'm sure he would've won the same amount of tournaments from now on with his Scotty. After some time getting used to the feeling and dynamics, his good stroke will hole putts, regardless of putter.

Thoughts?  Ridiculous.  He putts well when he's playing well.  If he's putting/playing well he'd putt about the same with any putter you handed him on the practice green before teeing off.  The converse is also true.

Oh, you mean right now? I thought you meant historically.  He putts best when he's fired up. I think seeing the kids rip up the back nine ahead of him has him inspired. I predict (therefore it will never come to pass) that he's going low this weekend.

Impossible to make that call.

Tiger has won A LOT with his Scotty.

So far none with the Method, so how can anyone make that call yet?

Same could be said for any pro, no?

Well since I stated as "I THINK"… as in Its just an opinion, and mine more specifically. I did not offer it as fact. I just wanted to see what people's thoughts were. I could have just said I think Tiger is putting better, but I wanted to throw the "Method" in there for conversations sake...

… Relax people… Sheesh!

Come on, really??? I did not mean it historically. How could I? He's only put it in play this year, with the exception of last years British Open (that I recall). Just based on this year alone, I think he is putting better with the Method.

FWIW, he has used two different versions of the Method. In fact, the two versions of the Method (the 003 he is using this week and the 001 he used at last year's British) are probably more different than the 001 and the Scotty.

I guess I didn't catch that he used a 001 at all. I thought it was always the 003. I myself use the 005, which is a face balanced model. I believe his 003 & 001 were both toe balanced??? I love how it rolls! And Im assuming Tiger likes it too. It does what they say it does, no back spin, starts out rolling over the top immediately, etc… The hardest thing I would think would be going from a blade to a mallet style putter. It was an awkward transition for me, in fact Im still getting used to it and sometimes line it up wrong. I wish Nike would do an interview or something with him. I would love to hear what his thoughts are on the putter.

This is kinda off-topic, but figured I'd share it. I think this had been discussed before, but I cant remember. Anyway, Ricky Barnes is using a Method now too

Ricky Barnes is great, but someone needs to tell him that they do hold other tournaments during the year, not just the majors.

Like was said already… NOT historically… But after today Im not sure its even a valid argument at the moment. He didn't putt particularly well today, but I dont think it would have changed with the Scotty. Just looked like he had lost his touch and feel.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
