Scaldy

As a shorter person (5'3) I am often using cut down putters. After doing allot of looking for putters I've noticed that very few putters actually change head weight. Thus the swing weight for a 35" putter (D2 -recommended) can very greatly from a 33" putter (Now a C0 - way too light). See the link for a great chart on putter swing weight. http://www.ralphmaltby.com/home/267/ I like how the New Scotty Newports have adjustable weights, I just wish there were more inexpensive options. I cut down a Mizuno Bettinardi putter, which I now find much too light.

I recently changed my swing from a bent left arm to a straight left arm at take back and I keep re-pulling my top left thigh muscle. Right where my thigh meets my torso. I pull it when I extend at my finish, but I never use to pull this until I changed to a straight left arm. Go figure. I think I pull harder through the ball now. Anyone have a good stretch or have a similar problem? Thanks.

Call it good timing, but I'm 5'3 . I bought the Adam's A30s Petite ladies set and actually found them too short. I ended up swapping them for the Ladies A30S regular set and found the length to be pretty spot on. My lower back has issues so I find a slightly more upright stance to be beneficial. I would guess that the A30S Ladies set would fit up to 5'6 and maaaybe 5'7 without any issues. Anyone taller would probably find a men's length better.

The Scotty Cameron Newport 2.7 is "nearly face balanced". It basically looks allot like a Yes Tracy. http://www.scottycameron.com/putters...el.aspx?id=361

I did some research on this exact topic. As mentioned, face balanced putters lend themselves to "straight back straight through" strokes. As far as Scotty Cameron putters go the Newport 2.7 has the traditional look of the Newport 2 but is "nearly face-balanced". I went through 5 putters this year and finally settled on the 2.7. Good luck! http://www.scottycameron.com/putters...el.aspx?id=361

I thought I would bump this thread because I had this same "light bulb" moment a few weeks ago. I started putting so much better when I focused more on the line and speed (visualizing the putt going in) and less on the mechanics of the swing. Focusing on "putting down the line" has helped me allot.

I've played the 13 piece A30S set for almost 2 months. Compared to the iron only set you get a gap wedge which I have found surprisingly useful. The driver is actually pretty good and replaced my Taylor Made R5. The only clubs that didn't exceed my expectations were the fairway woods. They were consistently 5-10 yards shorter than my Nike SQ's. Other than that it's a great "bang for your buck" set that won't disappoint.

Thank you! That was exactly the reference I was looking for.

Need a new putter grip? Don't just get a putter grip... get a new lifestyle at the same time! "A sharp Cameron 3 Point Crown in white coyly calls out your putter preference to those watching your stroke. What happens next is a confident motion, loft and lie coming together in perfect symmetry, as you calmly, deftly move the putter face through your arc and send the ball rolling directly into the cup. Simple, right? Yeah, right." Don't forget to pop your collar before you make that stroke. I love my Scotty, but seriously, it's just a grip.

This was the one I was thinking of downloading but I don't have 3g on my Iphone and no access to wifi on the course so I don't know if I will be able to load the courses up prior to the round. The GPS should work fine as I use the mapquest app allot.

I'm the same. I use it for all my shots 60 yards and in. I heard Annika say that Tiger converted her to doing the same thing because you can use one club for many different shots. Plus, my 60 degree is a Cleveland with "zip grooves" that actually do what they are supposed to. Add a proV1 to the mix and I can actually get a ball to back up....juuust a little.

I recently have been playing a Titleist ProV1 and have been very impressed with it's spin and overall control to hold the greens. However, I'm amazed at how easily the ball's shell gets cut. My wedge literally will pull paint off the ball as if Xmen's Wolverine had swiped at it. Anyone else encounter this? My wedge is a Cleveland with Zip Grooves. It's the first time I've ever created backspin on a ball... but the ball won't last a round . I played one Prov1X for almost 4 rounds with little damage but miss the control of the ProV1. Can anyone recommend a ball that is more durable than the ProV1 but has similar control? Thanks.

Does anyone else use "no name" or other brands of head covers to avoid their clubs from getting stolen? For example, when I bought my R5 driver new I used a super cheap head cover to make people think I was playing...a super cheap driver I don't use the provided Scotty head cover for my Newport putter either. I use a Ping Karsten series one instead.

I bought the ladies integrated A30S (13 clubs). I was surprised with how many of the clubs I kept in the bag. Only the 3, 5 wood and putter didn't stay in play. I hit my Nike SQ woods a little longer than the Adams and it's hard to compete with a Scotty putter. The Adams A30S driver did replace my R5 though (I was surprised too).

I tried a few balls and was impressed by the Srixon "soft feel". The owner of my local golf shop was raving about them and convinced me to try them. Great durability, good feel and decent distance. $20 and it came with a free Srixon Towel. http://www.srixon.com/balls_softfeel.html To be fair I haven't tried the "gamer" yet but I have heard good things about that ball too.
