  2. I prefer the black finish as well but would be nervous for the same reasons that you were. I was thinking that it wouldn't hurt to go verify the fitting after you get it to make sure it still fit your eye and alignment... I'm curious why they don't have the other finishes at the fitting to ensure a proper fit. I love the idea of a black finish with white alignment aids - (at least I think it helps me lol). ____ Different note. After seeing so many well respected posters on here indicating how much they love their Edel putters, it makes me want to spend the time and money to go get fit. Like many others, it seems that it would be a decent day of travel involved . It would take a full day to get it done (which in the long run isn't that bad). I guess the scary part is feeling like I couldn't commit to being a stupid monkey and let the results speak for themselves during the fitting process. I like mallet putters; I like alignment help; I like larger grips. It's almost bad when you know what you like and you THINK you know what works best. It's really hard to be a stupid monkey when you work hard to convince yourself that what your doing is right and you have committed to what your doing because you BELIEVE it works for you... I would need to be open minded and accept the fitting process which I think I can do (eventually) but I'm not ready to accept that a blade style, one dot alignment, small round grip putter could actually be better for me. Until I'm ready to accept that as possible, I can't commit to a fitting. I need to be 100% committed to believing in the process. Putting is one of those things. You have to find what works for you and have the confidence in it. Results inspire confidence right? ------ vs I need to get out of my own way!!!!!
  3. Not sure I understand that one. Feel can certainly help you dial in your distances. If a putter is to heavy or light for you, how firm the face is, feedback and forgiveness... bad putters can hurt your distance control and overall consistency. Like irons that minimize distance loss on off center hits, they can help you become more consistent with yardages. A putter can help you become more consistent with your distances on off center hits. Ever putt a ball low on the putter face or heel a putt? Maybe you hit it a little off the toe... in those circumstances the putter can make a huge difference, especially on fast greens where your errors are magnified and precision is so important.
  4. This is a tough one. I went with unlimited golf for obvious reasons. That said, who would I be playing Augusta with? That might make all the difference right there.
  5. Honestly, you probably hit a lucky streak. That said, that particular putter may fit your stroke and your eye which resulted in you making more of the putts. I do think Scottys are nice putters but I think they are expensive as well. Yes, you pay some for the name but their resale value retains well if you end up wanting to resell it down the line for any reason. I can't comment on the Edel putters specifically but getting a putter that fits you is the key. Don't pick a putter only on name. Personally for me, I want a good combination of alignment aid and something that gives me good (perceived) distance control. I personally like the Scotty Futura x5. Good Luck!
  6. What do you think about cork putter grips? I think they sound pretty interesting. I'm not a fan of really soft putter grips but I do like the light weight oversized options. Unfortunately many of the putters today feel too muted for me and I'm not sure if it's always the face, the grip or a combination. Of course like many fisherman, I love the feedback I get with a cork grip. Why not try it with my putter? I think the option could provide some really good feedback and help my distance control and feel. What are your thoughts? Bettinardi had some options available on their putters. Salty Grips was the brand they had on their site. Interested to see what others think and if anyone has tried them.
  7. 42 - 41 = 83 Didn't play well. I didn't really make any putts outside of 10 feet to save strokes. Missed a few from 6 -8 feet. Lost a ball right into a hazard on #2 and ended up with a double. 40 yards out and completely botched my approach hitting off wet turf... TWICE! Score could have been a lot worse but overall it was a plod along catch some bad breaks boring round. I had fun with the group I was with though but my golf wasn't that fun.
  8. Absolutely Awesome!
  9. I stopped playing for a few years. I stopped playing at about a 4. I've been playing again for few years and have never got back to where I was. That's mainly because I don't practice like I used to and my irons aren't as crisp. I hit the ball as far but no where near with the same ball striking and I'm not consistent off the tee nor do I have the same touch and feel around the greens. Honestly, I was very frustrated when I started playing again because I expected to shoot similar scores to when I stopped playing. I adjusted my expectations and realized that I don't play as often and I don't work on my game like I used to and the frustration was gone. I started really having fun again realizing that I'm lucky enough to be a decent golfer but I'm not at the point where I'm shooting my career rounds... I guess it depends on your approach. If your determined you can get it back. I still plan to keep improving but by no means do I put in the effort I would need to get back to where I was at my best. I get risky and try shots that I have no business trying but I still have fun and I'm happy if I keep it in the low 80's and I'm happier if I keep it in the 70's. That said, I want to birdie everything! Or make that awesome Par save... or well, just find my golf ball... Good Luck, Welcome Back, and Have Fun! Sorry I was no help! My only real advice, don't expect to have that same consistency you did before you quit the moment you pick everything back up.
  10. The pictures don't do these any justice. Every pin was on a slope this day. It was part of the "Tough Man Tournament". It was a two man best ball tournament with every pin in a crazy spot, usually on a slope, and usually only about 24-48 inches off the edge of the fringe - usually well protected too... Too much fun, but.... crazy hole locations!!!
  11. Did you see that Pin Placement? - And is that ball ever going to stop rolling?
  12. Does it say S400 or anything under the Dynamic Gold?
  13. I've decided to run for president.... So I can play more GOLF!!!!! Wooooooo!!!! (that's all I got)
  14. A little bit of everything with an emphasis on poor execution.
  15. Last Round: Ouch... a rough one. +12 through 11 holes - two doubles and two triples in that stretch!!!!! Sometimes, I have no idea how it happens like that! Shot 85 = 46 - 39 On the bright side - I also had 3 birdies and played the last 8 holes at +1 (finished birdie, birdie on 17-18) wooo! A had to put the game face on in the back nine when a guy in our group started ribbing me that he was going to beat me on my home course, I guess it made me focus a little more. Helps you appreciate the good days!!!!
