Well, since I've not seen anything written or tweeted or social networked about Virtual Green, I wonder if it was a bust. I thought going into the show, that was the most interesting product.

Whoa! What's this?

@iacas can probably explain better than I can.

I want that Segue/skateboard thing.

I'd ride it from home to the first tee... and beyond.

It's fun to ride but it's $6,500.

The Tru-Roll putters look interesting. @mvmac did you get a chance to try them out?

I did, thought they rolled the ball well. Not as crazy looking at address as you might think. Can't say for sure whether the rolled face is better than a flat face.

It looks so odd to me.  Has anyone ever tried something like that before that you know of?

Teardrop had some curve or roll to their faces but not as much as Tru-Roll. Those are the only two that come to mind that have done something like that.

With all the different designs for mallets these days, "crazy looking" is in the eye of the beholder. I'd be willing to try it out, but unless the round face is going to help with my distance control, it probably won't help my putting much.

This one? It's exclusive to Japan. PURE didn’t launch any new grips at the show but they did launch a new rubber compound that they say performs better in wet and sweaty conditions. I did notice a slightly tackier feel.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
