Flow necks - who knew?!?

[zooropa]

Obviously lots of people knew but perhaps I've been playing the wrong type of putter for years! Picked up a stroke lab wide with a flow neck and have putted better than I potentially ever have. Distance control and line is so much better. It might be a honeymoon but what a honeymoon it is!

Nice. As long as you understand the reason it works you will be fine. Flow necks are suited to those players who have more of an arc to their stroke. There are two arcs - a vertical arc and a horizontal arc because of the lie angle of the shaft. The ideal is to keep the shaft on it's address plane throughout the stroke. To achieve the shaft stays in contact with an imaginary rail aligned parallel to the ball/target line. The shaft runs up and down this rail, hence the arcs of the head.
