Doing better

[NiftyNiblick]

I'm only on my third putter this season.

I played an April round or two with my Yes! Victoria II before switching to a Louisville HB, the latter a replica of an early 20th Century Spalding hickory shafted model. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I switched to a Rife Trinidad which is going ok right now.

I was never more than an average putter at best, but for 65, my putting stroke is actually pretty good, and this always with a conventional length putter.

I've been putting the straight ones into the hole. Really, not bad at all. Unfortunately, most putts aren't straight.

I've seen every single putt one can get at my club multiple times over, but even there, at my own club, I'm still not matching speed and line very well.

I don't think that most models of putters have that skill. They depend on me to do that, and I've been falling short for fifty years.

I've always thought of Golf as two different games.. there's Golf and there's Putting.

IMO what separates the Pro golfer and the rest of us is Putting.

Rife could be a "top" brand if they would make a Putter that was just a bit more

on the quality side. I've gamed a barbados (still have 2 of them) and just don't

think they're made as well or use the quality of materials that would set them above

or even equal to the rest.

Putting... I think most of us are in the same boat as you nifty
