Adam Scott...the swing to copy
I think the correct term is his PUTTER.....only thing worse would be if it were blue
He's a swing machine.
He certainly hit the ball well enough to shoot 65 or 66 today. That he could only manage 72 was a reminder of the old adage about living and dying by the flatstick.
He needs to get a normal looking putter and take a conventional grip and just practice putting. All the gimmicks just get worse and worse.
He could lose the AimPoint nonsense as well.

(his putting)-It could be something more simple....like he cannot read greens.
And if I were to copy anyone's swing, it would surely be Molinari's.
Rickochet The USGA needs to reverse their stupid rule change and allow anchored putting as they did for 30 years.
They still allow it. Bernhard Langer and Scott McCarron etal anchor to their sternum with the broomstick. No one calls them on it. Belly guys are the only ones that are effected it seems though Webb Simpson and Keegan Bradley seem to have figured out a way. A. Scott has used a broom stick in the past. In my own little reality I don't see arm lock putters any different than belly or broomstick they are also anchored. (to your forearm) If you are going to be purist then put your foot down and stop everything not here and there. USGA/R&A need to go out to Langer/McCarron and say we need to see some air between your top hand and your sternum no touching what so ever. They stopped the belly putter from being attached to the belly so do the same 100%.
Rickochet I'm glad they changed it. What's come out of it is almost worse IMO as there are guys openly cheating (Bernie Lanchor and Scott McAnchor) and its allowed. Even if the officials or playing partner called them on it they can either deny or say it was not intended and they are good! It's not about theses guys anyways.....the usga does not want more and more young golfers going to an anchor stroke vs. conventional/semi conventional. In this regard it was a good move!

Unsure about that Chad. Justin Harding 33 yrs. old did well in The Masters using broom stick anchored. If you can't put something (cardboard, paper) between the top hand and the body/shirt/sternum and it falls out then you are not anchored. If it doesn't you are anchored. Easy to check but it was put in as a grey rule golfers policing themselves game of honor. Issue is guys playing for oodles of $$$ are not going to play by the rules try to circumvent as much as possible that grey areas allow them. Grey area no black and white.
