I'm to the point now where I need to switch putters to get something going. I don't make as many putts as I should, and need to try something new. I really like the look of the center shafted putters that have no bend in the shaft. Anybody have the Odyssey White Hot #2 blade or #5 mallet? How about the Scotty Cameron red X2? Would like some of your thoughts. I'd love to buy the X2 but can't see parting with $250 for it.

You should really try to get to a store and try a few out. A combination of MOI and centershafted putters can make putting easier if you have the right stroke for it.

I have my old trusty putter but I'll switch between two different center shafts when I want a different feel.
Depending on my mood I'll use either the Scotty Cameron Red X2 or the Hogan/Bettinardi Hawk 12

BTW, it's always been my understanding that a center-shafted putter is best for "straight back, straight through" strokes while a heel-shafted (the Red X, etc.) is best for the "hinged door" type of putting stroke.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
