Thanks for the replies. I like the idea, but could never convince the wife to allow it Joezilla

She might buy into the idea if you tell her it's the last putter I'll ever have to buy, Honey.

I told my wife  " I am getting a new custom putter.  It won't be cheap, and normally I value your opinion but on golf equipment you simply cannot grasp the importance or value of this.    Golf is very important to me, and if you love me you'll understand why getting this putter is important to me.   In the long time over our marriage, the money spent on this putter is trivial, but my peace of mind should be worth something to you.    You may object, but I don't care.   Get over it.    Oh, and by the way, yes those pants do make you look fat ."

In my mind.

Out loud, I said " Pleeease?    Oh please, please, please may I spend a little of our hard earned money on this putter?   Oh, and by the way those pants look fantastic!   Have you lost weight?"

I really like my new putter.

Absolutely fantastic! You had me going. I'm all ... "Wow, he's playing the 'if you love me' card. That takes balls!" Kudos.

You guys must have married the wrong woman.  I'll just ask mine for the money.  She'll say "Sure".

It's very simple. Six little letters.

It's the modern "fun money" stash.

One of your pixels is crooked...:-P Sweet putter!! Btw, does anybody know how Edel feels about fat grips? I love my superstroke slim, I don't know if I could go back to a thin grip...

Congrats on the Edel putter!  Looks great.  I've had mine for almost four years now, and it has been well worth the money.

Sorry for the blurry picture.

During my fitting process, I was getting a whole new arsenal of clubs, and replacing my putter was at the bottom of list.  I have always considered myself a great putter, and when I saw how off my aim was on my 2ball I was excited to get the putter until I heard the price.  Then after the lovely folks at Totally Driven had me putt 10 8 footers which both putters I drained 9 with the Edel and it has been a match made in heaven ever since.

Tristan, make sure you give it a few rounds to get used to the feel of the new club.  I remember my first few rounds being a little shaky getting the feel of switching from such a light putter to the Edel.  After about 4 rounds and multiple practice sessions everything started clicking.

ENJOY

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • 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.
