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.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
