So you say, but obviously they are considered enough for Edel to make a putter that was meant to not be effected by these forces as well. I think they're well worth considering. 

Let's not forget Odyssey with the toe up. Closest anyone has come to duplicating lie angle balancing.

Marketing.

I've said the same things about the Edel putters. I don't sell them, though I sell Edel putters and wedges. Why? Because it's marketing, and with the limited models available in their Torque-Fit line, I am not at all confident that I can fit people to aim them properly given their limited configurations.

Aim is important. The DF putter has very little customization.

@Jack Watson couldn't aim it. My experience says most others couldn't aim it really well either, because, heck, I've seen the same exact putter going from a small line to a dot to no line or dot change aim by about 10" at 16'.

Because if there was actually anything to it, as in actually something to it, the bigger companies would have figured out a way to do it.

They haven't, because there isn't.

And it's not because they'd be violating some patent. Bill wouldn't be able to fight a patent lawsuit against a TaylorMade or an Odyssey, and he probably knows that. TaylorMade probably violated Adams' patent(s) on the speed slot or whatever it was called… and so they just bought Adams.

Well ,actually there is a measurable significant amount of torque and there's actually a little gauge that gets mounted into the Revealer and they actually ‘map’ torque spikes .... what I don’t understand is where your data or measurements are taken from and exactly how?  In order to provide evidence to support to findings after all its is a scientific group apparently. The DFP info will be posted at the pga show. Just fyi.

Oh, I'd forgotten: I have tested the DFP, at the PGA Show. As did @SavvySwede back in one of the earlier pages.

I didn't care for it. It's just another flat piece of metal on the end of a stick.

It's not a significant amount of torque. Sorry, it's just not. You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

The more you keep talking the more you bump this topic in Google and the worst your ugly putters look to those with half a brain or more.

I have bought some things I really like.-I like my car a lot.

But I would not dream of spending hours talking to other people about how stupid they are for buying a different car or how their world would change if they bought the same car as me. I am just content to drive my car, and if people ask, I tell them a little about it. But if they say they don't like sedans I drop the subject. Why would I care so much as to keep talking about it?

What are your vested interests?-Or are many of you employed by DF, or friends of Bill, or Bill himself just like how Bill lied about who he was on the early pages?

Great. We'll end it with that. By staff vote (with myself recused), it was unanimous.

Take care.

    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

    • Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
