Love this thing so far... played yesterday and rolled in 5 birdies. Nothing but good things to say about it. Sorry for the terrible huge pictures.

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

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....

I figured you'd want to share that sad tale. ;)

Tried to compress the pics, sorry they're huge.  I've played with my Edel twice now (not counting 3 or 4 sessions on the practice green).  I haven't made every putt, but the fit, feel and control have been an immediate and pronounced improvement versus my prior menagerie of putters.  I'm consistently hitting putts on the line in intend (unless I manually pull or push them off line - which I can tell).  My speed is dramatically improved, and I have been extraordinarily steady on all my 4-8 foot clean up putts.  I suspected I would really benefit from a properly fit putter, but thus far I am extremely pleased.

That's awesome.... I've found the same, speed control is great, and the four footers are going in so much more. Two putts are much easier.

Has anyone had the counters weights on the bottom drop out of their Edel putter?  I made the assumption they were tight from the factory, and apparently that was a bad assumption.

I've never even adjusted mine or checked on them.

I heard of one of my guys getting a putter and having the weights fall out, too. Funny thing was he didn't order a Vari-Weight putter, just a standard one…

I bought the weight kit (6g / 21g), but do not see where I can buy the 12g by themselves.

Those should be in your putter. Otherwise high should have specified you needed the other two.

Agree they should be in my putter ... but they fell out while playing ... so I would like to order new ones.  I sent an email to Edel asking.  :-)

Just as a follow up ... contacted Edel and they are mailing me the original weights free of charge.  Got to give a shout out to Edel for handling this quickly.  I will make damn sure they are tight before I go out.  

I golfed on Friday ... I know they were both in late in the round ... golfed on Sunday noticed one was missing, but did not have the tool to tighten remaining one, but watched them closely, then on the 12 hole after putting I noticed the second one gone ...I had chipped up from the rough and dropped the putter down in the rough ... we looked but could not find it ... just odd they would both drop out so close to each other.  

Again a shout out to Edel for handling it quickly.

      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?
