With the different schools of thought (all reputable technicians in their respective fields) you can understand my confusion. I willl always bow to a superior idea (I cannot afford not to...simply not smart enough ) I neglected my equipment since my junior days having heard the "it's not the tool its the idiot weilding it!" mantra over and over. I played college golf with one sw, a 56 degree high bounce jobbie that turned out to be 52.5 degrees! My driving accuracy declined in my sophomore year in large part due to the change from a persimmon-headed 11 degree 42 inch steel shafted driver to a metal headed 9 degree 44.5 inch graphite shafted driver...ya think! I am trying to give my mechanics (which are identifiable...thanks to TGM) a fighting chance!
What loft does Mr Swash recommend? I realize it has a lot to do with the quality of greens you play on. It is a great pity that the vari-loft technology of Edel putters comes with a hefty price tag (it will take years to embezzle $850 without my acountant/wife knowing!) So is the industry standard of 3 degrees dynamic loft a good number?
I have always putted with a flat left wrist, and tend to make better strokes on faster greens, always preferring bent to bermuda. As it turns out my effective loft may have been 1-2 degrees! This does not bode well for shaggier putting surfaces.
I played a goat track a couple of months ago. After 3 putting the first green in a pathetic fashion I went to my 17 degree hybrid for the rest of the round! Obviously, I pressed my hands forward and delofted it considerably but I did not have to change my technique radically in order to get the ball up to the hole. ALL putts get airborne...then skid...then roll out...no?
