I recently switched from a old black Scotty Cameron Coronado to a Odyssey 2-ball. The one I picked up is the straight, center shafted version. Someone at my home course had it and I tryed it out for a while and liked the feel.

Now that I've used it for a while, I thought I'd give some feedback. I really like the way the ball rolls of the face of the putter. My Cameron was a bit jumpy and I had to really make a nice smooth stroke to roll the ball correctly. Probably the best thing about this putter is that it is much easer to align on putts...especially short ones. This was the main reason I switched putters. My alignment with my old putter was poor and it feels much better with the 2-ball. I usually pick out a spot I want to roll the ball over about 2 feet in front of my ball and try and roll it over that. Aligning to that spot feels better now.

After using it for a few weeks I've dropped my average putts per round by 1.25. I don't attribute all of this to the putter as I've hit the ball better, but I have not had one three putt in that timeframe as well. I also don't feel like I've missed nearly as many makeable putts and a good deal of 15-25 footers are going in or lipping out.

I never thought I would switch to a mallet-style putter, but the two-ball definitely is worth a try. I'm really pleased with it. I tryed a couple other style putters before purchasint the two-ball, but always came back to it. I don't think it will come out of my bag for a while.

Fairways and Greens.

1.25 putts per round! WOW!

Give the Red X a try. It feels soft without feeling "too soft." I have always thought that the insert in the Odyssey putters was too soft, almost "mushy." I didn't have much feel on longer putts. A lot of people (including Steve Crane) play with 'em, though, Dave and you putt pretty darn well. I would be interested in taking that Coronado off your hands, though...

I know, hard to believe. I keep stats religiously.

I did, but thought it was a bit too hard. I like the mushy feel for now. The Red X was nice though.

If its good enough for Steve, its good enough for me. We'll talk about the Coronado.

Fairways and Greens.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.

      Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.

      Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.

      Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
