Going to enjoy this one!
What Luke talks about with so many mallets being face balanced was my issue for a long time. I just can’t do a double bend mallet, and the progression into new neck shapes and balance points really made the difference.
Tuning in shortly – awesome to see/hear Luke for this.
Quintic on the TOUR truck is wild.
Definitely will be tuning into this one this morning!!! Always exciting to listen to [USER=41896]@Luke WilliamsCG[/USER] talk putters!!!
Love the concept that putting is one thing amateurs can actually get really good at.

It is what stuck out to me and yet also what surprises me over and over as I watch people play.
Can’t wait to listen to this one on the way into work here is hopping my personal favorites of dual force rossie and 2ball microhindge made the cut
Odyssey has just so many options. And the train doesn’t sound like it’s stopping any time soon.
Between tech and shape and insert, the options are impressive.
TUning into this right now! Cant wait to hear some putter wisdom from Luke!
I feel attacked

Same, bro
He’s both made me want and not want the Damascus.
Great discussion. Love hearing how they come up with all the different options based of trends and what the tour wants.
Listening to this and it’s packed with great information.
Also more Damascus putter shapes coming… 😍😍
about half way through this.
I have had a thought or, really a very honest question. Or a couple questions.
Are Mallets really better? Or.. is it.
1. A bit of monkey see monkey do?
2. because mallet designs have changed so that the weight is way way more forward. Making a mallet really be in many ways a blade dressed up as a mallet?
I am excited to sit down and listen to this one. Will bring back all the memories sitting in the back of the bus with Luke and the crew.
Oh wow… my man [USER=41896]@Luke WilliamsCG[/USER] !! Can’t wait to listen to this.
Can’t wait to listen to the one. [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] always brings it and I love my man [USER=41896]@Luke WilliamsCG[/USER].

Now that I’ve moved to a mid-mallet, I feel like I can play both sides.
The Mount Rushmore is so dead-on.
I’ve bagged a Rossie and a 2-Ball. I like the looks of the #7, but they don’t seem to work for me from trying them.
I’m in love with the JB, but I’ve never owned one…yet.
He already has a redacted putter in the bag and it’s only May?? Dannngggg!!
I have this one queued up, should be a great listen this weekend.

Not completely, by nature of the design. Still easier to stay on plane.

Im not that big of a deal. No reason to put “the” in front of my name. :ROFLMAO:
Made it through the episode on the drive home from golf. Luke has been saying this is the way to go for a decade that Ive known him so this isnt some fad with him.
I do feel attacked though haha but more intrigued now more than ever by mallets. And the point about putting being the best and really only way an average joe can compare themselves to a tour player was really interesting and eye opening for me. Explains why Im always interested in tour stats with putters in play

Thanks buddy! Was definitely a fun chat with Luke.
Do the Toulon lines count for consideration? Also, at [USER=41896]@Luke WilliamsCG[/USER] is awesome.
Finished it up today. Great listen! I’ve still yet to try out the tri-hot line. I’m also wondering what Luke is already rocking in his bag – next years redacted.
This was a great listen today. So full of nuggets, and a bit of motivation to get better at putting.
Listened this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it!
