I am officially in a putting slump now. putting used to be the strength of my gme and now it is the weakness. Last 45 holes, I have hit 37 greens. I have 2 birdies there (and both were less than 2 feet). I also have 6 3-putts on those greens as well.

I realize that my lag putting is declining so I going to start demoing other putters. But i just need someone to help get me some confidence and talk me off the ledge.

What's in the bag:

Driver: Adams 9064LS (project RIP Shaft) 9.5 degree
3 Wood: Titleist 909R 14.5 degree
Hybrid 3-iron: 19 degree Tour Professional (bent to 18 degrees)Hybrid 4-iron: 21 degree Tour ProfessionalIrons: Tour X-20 5-PW Project X 6.0 shaftsGap Wedge: Mizuno MP10 52.08 Sand Wedge: Mizuno MP10 58.10 Lob Wedge: Nike 62.06

I'm with you right now...just had two 35 putt rounds in a row. Just not making as many 8 footers right now. Problem for me was two different courses I haven't seen before and the greens were different speeds. I only had 2 3putts, but I just missed too many birdie tries under 15 feets. Only had 4 1 putt greens.

Same thing with me. I can't get a lag putt closer then 4 feet right now, whether it be 4 feet short or 4 feet by. I can blame my Ping g5i anser all I want but the conclusion is I need to practice more.

I had nine three putts for eighteen holes a couple days ago in a tournament...so don't feel bad.

Just jump!

Haha, I wasn't even putting poorly and I recently changed putters and can't make up my mind which one to use. Problem is they both feel quite different so going back and forth might just screw me up. what are you putting with and what are you thinking of switching to?

    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
    • Day 296: did a stack session.
