Axis1 has made the world's first perfectly-balanced putter

How important do you think it is to have a "zero balanced" putter? Seems gimmicky.

Probably zero importance if you can't aim it properly. 

And how can you possibly aim properly when just looking at your putter makes you want to vomit. That is one ugly flagstick!

I don't think it matters at all.

They've been at the PGA Merchandise Show the past few years. I think at two of them they've had a "booth babe" dressed in a little sailor costume. So… yeah. :-P Not exactly confidence inspiring.

Everyone who wants to get into golf equipment and has more than a tiny budget (those guys make ball mark fixers or tees or something) makes a putter. There are so many weird putters out there… but at the end of the day, it's a flat piece of metal (or similar) on the end of a stick. It's not swung at high speeds and putting is never the sort of thing where you'll be able to make even 50% of your putts from 20 feet over any length of time, so… Find what fits you and stick with it.

Then work on your three keys to putting.

Seems like the resting gravity point would be dependent on where you hold it anyway. I definitely need to work on the three keys this year.

    • I usually like to fix the face, first, as the path is most often the compensation for the open face rather than the other way around. If you could get some good down-the-line and face-on video in slow motion, it'd go a long way toward helping. It's tough to see the face and I think the face-on view would show that you're not turning as much as you could/should.
    • Day 86 (26 Jul 25) - Down at the beach place, had kept the clubs with me after playing yesterday.  Spent time this afternoon checking them over and brushing grooves on the wedges and irons.  Spent a few minutes working thru the swing process…working in slo mo through backswing and proper weight shift.
    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen.
