Walterjn this is a no bullsheet... my first putt with it was on the course that day. NO practice putts on the rug, nothing. Was playing a scramble putting last for our group. We had a 60 footer downhill breaker. Dropped that sumbitch right in the hole and i new i was going to be sleeping with this putter in my bed. Later at the halfway putting contest on the practice green (we all know those) it was an even crazier putt. 3 tries, first way right, 2nd way left, 3rd dropped right in. so now i am kicking my wife out of bed so i could sleep with this putter on her pillow.
