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 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.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      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.
