Belly Putters

[tmf9]

Okay so my putting stroke has completely left me over the last month, its pathetic.  I was messing around on the putting green today and I started using my driver as a belly putter...I was putting almost as well with that as I was with my regular putter, and I was actually making more putts within 10 feet. I figure if i can put that well with a driver a belly putter would have to be beneficial..even though I've always thought belly putters were always a gimmick, I really think I might give one a shot now.  Does anyone have any experience at all with a belly putter?

I have used a 41" putter since 1989, I practice with my signature putter ,but only use it on fast greens.  The 41" putter I have been using for 4 years is a Ping DOC17. From 1989 to 2007 I used a Branding Iron from Dynacraft. Both of them are face balanced,  I use a very stiff shaft(called ski pole shaft-by some companies) http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_SKP_A_cn_E_686

I use a 21" Winn grip with flat side facing hole(face and flat side of grip are parallel)-- http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_WBPBR

I use the 41" like a short version of 48". I grab the top of grip with my left thumb on grip end.  I split my right hand  down the shaft while holding putter between my forefinger and index finger(like holding a cigarette) and place my palm against the grip. The stroke is straight and straight in a pendulum motion.

I also have the head bent very upright. If possible bent to 79* which is USGA max.

DTG will make this putter at 41" and with 21" grip. Call them for price

Did you try a belly putter yet?  I heard a stat that 23% of the field was using longer putters at a PGA Tour event recently!

Yeah tried one at a golf store and I was putting a little better but I'm thinking im just going to put the hard work into my stroke because I use to be a real good putter (under 30 just about every round) and slowly but surely I am making some progress back to where I was.

We have a solution for you, our long putters are adjustable. The top grip is adjustable up to 6 inches so you can putt with it till you find the length that is best for you, we send you the epoxy to glue it at that length. Rules state it must be permanent shaft length to be legal. You would get the instructions on how to do it, simple. Check us out or contact me if I can help.
