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

Question: how long did it take you to get used to yours? I played today and putted horribly -- I felt like I didn't know what putter I was using. Did I overestimate how quickly I'd be able to use it in a round?

Yes.

Takes a hundred or two hundred putts until your old compensations leave.

I am hesitant to respond ... I loved mine from the very first putt, and every one since then ... I could tell an immediate difference ... especially hitting my mark. Disclaimer, my old putter was not fitted for me and I bought it because it was a "good" putter and popular brand. I sucked really really bad with it. Because my Edel was fitted for me, I feel like its comparing apple to oranges. Edit: the sight line really changed things for me, even during the fitting.

Also, and I'm surprised I didn't discuss this with the fitter, how do I hold the Edel putter? I grip it non-overlapped, but I noticed in putting that I am doing this more with my right hand than my left hand (I'm right handed). Is there a preferred grip method? I don't think that will affect the fitting.

Did you hold the putter like you normally do when you got fitted?

Yes. It didn't occur to me until this morning that I might should do otherwise.

I would stick with your regular grip that you were fitted with. Or are you having trouble with the round grip?

Finally got my baby. Played 9 with it today. Speed control is amazing. Still missing right on a few 10 footers but just getting used to lining up straight. Overall love it so far.

Dude, what are you doing up at 3 in the morning?! I loved my Edel yesterday....speed and line were good all day...lots of putts that were right on the lip and they didn't fall in but they were longer putts that percentage wise aren't highly likely to go in but I two putted like it was my job.

Playing around with my Game Golf and doing other golf stats stuff, haha.  I'm going to pay for it at the gym later.

Yeah, dude, take away that 7 and have 1 of the three or four putts that you missed by a hair and you likely could have shot 75.

Yup....Ugh...golf, what a fickle game... You forgot to tell everyone that the 7 was on a par 3....and it wasn't even a terrible tee shot. And then to plug right under the lip of the bunker? The Golf Gods didn't want me to shoot 75....

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
