Ive figured this putter out finally !!! I have the #6 which has more toe hang than the #1. I liked it because it help me with pushes , it seemed to rotate better for me. Ive always kept the weight equal in the toe and heel as i was advised to do. Well, i put 20g in the toe and 10g in the heel and now im putting better than i ever have. If you have a Metal X Putter with the extra toe hang, #6 or #9 Try that weight set up. Its counter-intuitive but it works so good for me, Maybe it will for you too. If you have an arc to your stroke and dont have a straight back and straight thru stroke, it works great. So happy right now, im dropping 6-footers at a crazy rate. I need to shave 5-6 shots to break 80 and this will get a few of them. Hit Em Good Yall !!

Good advice and I hope it helps you break 80!

I cant putt for crap with an arc... they go all over the place.  I have a friend who has a huge arc and he is a pretty good putter.  I like the pendulum stroke and try to keep everything inline as that works pretty good for me.

Now go out there and shave some strokes and post in the Breaking 80 thread!!

I am having good results with a Metal X #7 belly, cut down, I like the heavier weight of 400g. (back and through).

No problem, you are welcome.  Sometimes we just need a little push to get going.

Since you live in FL I will have to come down to teach for the winter.  Back up here in summer for more training.  I use to live in Sunrise but didn't golf back then.... in hindsight it is a shame as it was always nice from Dec to March.... Hmmm, where did I leave that time machine????

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
