I like adding weight to the head of my putter too. It helps do a couple of things:

  • It provides a better connection to the head which improves speed and distance control
  • Helps the putter swing more like a pendulum
  • The head naturally "gates" through the stroke and squares to the target which helps eliminate the most common miss - short & right

Depends on your putting stroke. I do think modern putters are too light. In combination with backweighting the club, it can help with distance control.

      Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.

      Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.

      Yeah, I think I misread that part. I read "in front of" and kinda skipped the rest.

      Small league format idea

      By Hackers by the Bay ·

      We just completed our winter league (Jan 1 - April 30)  Our scoring was simple.  We used the 18 birdies app.  You get 1 point for every member of the league you beat head to head in an 18 hole round (no handicap).  You also get a point for completing the round.  Therefore 4 members play a round- winner of the round gets 4 points, runner-up gets 3, third gets 2, and last gets 1.  Points accumulate throughout the season.  You can play as many times as you want. Our winner accumulated 110 points while second was 102 and third was 97.  We had a total of 16 members in the league.  No issues whatsoever.  All about fun.
