Hello,

Just wanted some friendly advice, my birthday is coming up in around 2 months, and I wanted to get a new putter, the putter I have right now is a box set putter, and I just don't like the putter, end of story.  It doesn't look right at address for me, the shaft doesn't look like it was put in correctly (I'm right handed, and it comes out of the hosel to right, correct me if I'm wrong, but it just doesn't look right), and because of this, I have no confidence in the thing.  I was shopping around, and the new Methods with the red insert really got my attention, it felt great on the dinky little test green inside the store, it's a blade(which I prefer), it looks sharp, and I preferred it to all of the other putters in the store.  Just looking for some thoughts on this, and some thought on if a new putter would really help that much.  Also, what is the difference between 33', 34', and 35' putters?

I have the Nike Method Core MC-1i Blade and it's a great putter. It's balanced perfectly and has a great feel to it. I made the switch from a Taylor Made Rossa Blade and prefer the Nike so far. The isn't a difference between the 33,34, or 35 inch it's just for preference. If you have any questions about it let me know.

I really like the Method Core putters Nike has done a great job with them.

If your looking for a putter with a good insert that's going to give you a good feel I would also suggest taking a look at the Odyssey putters. The white hot xg is a really popular series and a bit cheaper than the Nike's.

I purchased the Method Milled 003 putter and like it. It definatly gets the ball rolling quicker, so there was an adjustment period as i was hitting everything a little too hard. I purchased it just before the Method Core came out and actually prefer the feel of the core's insert over the milled. hope this helps

    • I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉 
    • Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.    
    • I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
