Looking for some insight and opinions. I’ve played the White Hot Pro Black #9 for about 7 years. Suited my stroke perfect. Made putts. No need to change... until lately, I’ve started pulling a lot of putts. It hasn’t been for just one or two rounds, but some thing I have noticed over the last year or more. I sat back and reevaluate everything, and it seems my putting stroke has changed over time. I used to have some arc in my stroke, but now it is definitely more straight back and through. I have tried out a few putters, and wanted to go into testing with no preconceived notions other than something that is suited for more of a straight back and less arc stroke.
After trying what felt like hundreds of putters, I finally landed on an older model - O-Works Black 2M CS. Very first ball I hit, I could feel a far better role. Much more forward roll, straighter off the face, etc. I tried a few other putters that also had center shaft just to see if that was really helping me that much. Turns out it definitely was. There was another customer who even commented after watching a few that I rolled, saying “I really hope you buy that putter” with a chuckle.
Said all of that to say this… Has anyone ever had such a drastic change in their putter? Going from my current one to this new one is pretty significant in terms of just about everything. Looks, style, address, weight, shaft position, everything. I know the results with testing proved it is the right choice for me. My only worry is taking on such a drastic change and how long it will take to get used to it. Anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any input or opinions?
Guess it is just hard to change sometimes, especially when I’ve been using my current putter for going on eight years. Break ups can be hard, but even more so when the new one is so very different!
