Typhoon I don’t see anything great about the new putters. There is nothing groundbreaking. No putter is claiming “ 3 more inches!!” What is Scotty Cameron doing to Newport’s every year to make them more whatever… nothing. I’ve found a sweet spot of putter years that I like. The NP from you is that year, my Ping Redwood Anser.

This is interesting. Can putters become more forgiving on mishits? Callaway thinks so. Whether it's marketing hype or real, I'm intrigued. Is this where everyone could gain strokes on the green? Can AI help on mishit putts?
“What’s the key similarity between the world’s best and us weekend hackers? We all mishit putts. And when miss the centre of the putter face, the ball doesn’t travel as far, so it’ll either stay out on either side of the hole, or left short.
Think about all the times you’ve three-putted. Those were mostly due to a lack of control from a mishit putt.
The Callaway boffins crunched the numbers and worked out that their players lost a combined $25 million in prize money in 2023 due to three-putts. At our level, meanwhile, the average 15-handicap player will three-putt more than three greens per round. There might not be as much on the line, but that will still cause a lot of damage on any scorecard.”
“Rahm isn’t a player that likes to make changes, but these numbers were enough to convince him to put the Odyssey Ai-One putter in the bag. Is it enough to convince you?”
