  1. Thanks for all the replies to this everyone! This is all very helpful. I hadn't considered that you should be trying to make a (possible) second putt as short as possible, so the thoughts about not hitting a faster putt (that may run way past the hole) make a lot of sense. I think I was a little off in my estimation of many pros using the break for three foot putts. Anyway, thanks again. This is exactly the kind of help I was hoping for. You guys rock!
  2. Why do most golfers break putts instead of putting in a direct line? I think I understand the basics of green reading and how to make putts break, but it just doesn't seem like a slow breaking putt should be as accurate as a direct line putt that is hit at a higher rate of speed . The margin of error in reading a green correctly "seems" like it would be statistically less accurate than a straight putt (where it "seems" like the only variables are direct line and speed). I have not been able to find any solid reasoning or data that proves that a breaking putt has a higher rate of accuracy over a putt that is putted in a direct line. It just seems to be an accepted given in golf that you should make a putt break instead of putting in a straight line. Why? (I can see how breaking putts makes a "little" more sense for really long putts, but I see many pros missing three foot breaking putts) Just wondering. If anyone can enlighten me, it'd be appreciated! Thanks!
  3. Does anyone have any opinions on beryllium copper irons versus standard steel irons? I've heard that copper irons supposedly give you a better "feel" because it's a softer metal or something, but wouldn't the softer metal also mean less distance? Any thoughts? Thanks!
  4. Does anyone out there know anything about Sting golf clubs? I can't find any information on-line. My Dad gave me a set of these a few years ago. They're pretty cool looking clubs. The irons are copper cavity backs (not over-sized) with graphite shafts (2-PW). There are also three metal woods (1,3 and 5), but these have steel shafts (isn't that backwards?) I'm not a good enough golfer to know if this is a decent set of clubs. I do OK (i.e. I have fun, but shoot terribly!) The only information on the clubs themselves is "Sting Golf Co.", "Made in USA, California" and "Flex Impact". I think my Dad got them in the mid-nineties (he doesn't remember where). I'd guess the clubs were made anytime between 1980 and 1995. Anyone have any info? Just curious. Thanks!
