Odyssey O-Works Marxman 2018

Hi.

Im getting the new Marxman 2018 model. I really like the alignment aid. However, I am really confused when it comes to the face balanced option vs the toe hang option. The more I read, the more I get confused. There are few, if any putter fittings in Norway, so Im basically buying blindly.

There is a lot of talk about arc = toe hang, sbst = face balanced, but then again others say that nearly every putting stroke has some arc. I know my putting technique is most likely poor, but it is alignment I have struggled with the most, specially on shorter puts. Resulting in 3 puts almost every time, some 4 puts and the occasional 5 put :(

Im playing of 28 handicap after two seasons (that's 6 months each year), where Ive been playing 10-15 times a year.

I have somewhat of an arc in my putting stroke, but I have a shorter backstroke, and longer follow through. I also like to stand closer to the ball when I putt, and think the lie angle of the "toe hang" models I`ve tried in the store makes me stand a bit longer away from the ball.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Don't worry about toe hang or face balanced. The forces involved in putting (the torques) are negligible. Absent a fitting, pick the one you like the best.
