Since Erik posted on the forum sometime back about Edel putters and the way you are fit for them, I have wanted to go get one. The thing is they aren't cheap. They aren't much more than an off-the-rac

Well, it took a little longer than I'd hoped, but the putter came today... ...and it's gorgeous: My only (very minor) regret is that I didn't get the "Edel" letters on the front

So I had my Edel fitting with @iacas yesterday morning in Erie at Golf Evolution. I told Erik that if we had something similar to Golf Evolution in Arkansas, my wife would divorce me. Great place to p

When I was fit for my Edel they showed me that I aimed much better with a line on the top line than the flange. I thought it hokum but they are right! I love my Edel. Got the wedges too. Wonderful stuff.

I played pretty bad actually. The putter is great but it's going to take a while to get use to it aiming at what I want.

I don't have an Edel but saw a number of them this weekend.  I think at least 25% of our tournament players had Edel putters.  All of them had the same grip, which I assume to be their standard, and it was a round grip.  Not the typical pistol grip you see on most putters.

It didn't seem tapered either, but I don't really know ... didn't look that closely.

But I would think it'd be similar to what Erik told you about the different finishes on the putters.  The whole point of the fitting is to fine tune your aim, so whatever you're fitted with should be what you stick with.  I don't know how much the grip thickness could alter aim, but its not something I'd mess with.

Hi I have a question for all you Edel owners and especially anyone that does fittings for Edel.  If after you get fit, has anyone gone back, say 6 months later for another fitting to see if after getting used to the putter your alignment or aiming is still the same.  I know it will be different for everyone but I wanted to know if you have a tendency to leave the face open or closed on putts that over time after missing most of your puts one one side of the hole you would consciously or unconsciously make an adjustment and adjust your aim to compensate.

i dont know much about clubmaking or weight of grips, but i would think it would be a matter of preference if the weight is ok (being that the weight is so important to distance control). i really like my fat grip, not really a fan of going back to a slim grip.

Round is their standard grip and it is a constant width through the grip (not tapered). The reason why is that they found that a round grip leads to better and more constant grip pressure as opposed to a traditional putter grip with a flat side and corners. On top of that, with a grip that has a flat side, if it moves even a little bit or is put on askew to begin with it can throw off your aim.

As far as the weight portion goes, they fit you for that too, and not just the weight of the head. If needed they will install counterweights so the club is where you need it to be.

That being said, if you are more comfortable with a paddle grip, Edel sells them as well (in multiple colors).

Got my fitting yesterday, I was aiming way to the left, no wonder on long putts I could see my putter opens so much.

For some reason I need a Plumber neck putter and usually (from what I heard) such a putter make people aim to the left, but for me it was right online.

Congrats!

As to aim, it's always a combo of factors - head shape, hosel, offset, sight lines, etc. that assist you in proper aiming. At first, I wondered about my fitting, but accepted it. That was 4 years ago, and the same Edel is still in the bag.

Thank you, I'm looking forward to receive and try it.

I was reading the thread and I was not really confident to find a fitter here in Quebec city. So I was really quite surprised to find one so close to my home (15 minutes drive).

I would just call Edel and ask. They're not that big (yet) and if you're nice about it I bet someone will check for you.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
