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 6: lighter session today after a long day. Just some mirror work and slow swings to try to get my feels down. 
    • @Philip Belgium,  If I haven't already, Welcome to TST.  Your injury sounds serious and I hope you fully recover.   Thanks for sharing your story.  ..... each day get 1-2% better.   (A ray of sunshine and a positive outlook)
    • Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.  
    • Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster. 
    • Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.
