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....

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
