Nate- I touched on this earlier in the thread, but will speak to that again here.Icey (or anyone for that matter). I want you to go out and hit 5-10 putts from 40+ feet and let me know what you think about distance control and lagging ability with the 7.
For me, when I first started working with a heavier/CB type of putter, I wanted to really just let the putter do the work due to the heavier weight. What resulted was putts that were left significantly short of the hole. Once i started working with this a bit, and focused on lag putting, I found that if I rolled it the same as a regular putter, and putt a normal stroke on it rather than anticipate the weight doing the work, my putts and distance control were much better.
While it's not the #7 you asked about, the 2-ball TANK I am rolling is more of the same. Working on longer putts is key with these, because to dial in the distance control you really have to get adjusted to the longer length and the heavier weight. With the 2-ball TANK, working on long putts came first for me, as that was where I knew it would be a different feel and I would need to dial it in. When working on that, I didnt focus on making the putt, rather I picked a target area and focused on lagging the putts in to that area. Putting a strong stroke on the putt, without being too forceful was key as I worked to get that speed and distance control to where I needed it to be.
