Off Course is back this week with a fantastic show. Hosted by Dan Edwards each Friday he gives you a deep look into the world of golf and equipment in a way unlike any other podcast has done before. Today Dan welcomes THP Staff Writer, Dean to the show to talk about putters and winterizing golf.
It wouldn’t be Off Course without some tangents, but Dean joins the show to talk a bit about the balance point of putters, keeping warm on the golf course and changing grips. This fun episode has a lot going on and it is an episode you will not want to miss as Dean goes Off Course.

Episode 82 is here and Dan and Dean discuss the following topics.
Putters
Sacks Parente Series 99
Staying Warm During Colder Golf
Dan Needing To Change Grips
And so much more

When talking about the 50 deg spot, do you have the set GW of the 921F to compare to the edel? It’s no CBX2 but not fully a blade style wedge either
[/QUOTE]
I haven’t really ever been big on the set GW. I love the idea of it being a transitional wedge slot. And no, I do not have the GW.

I guess I like the ? then. Been malleting for almost forever! I could be convinced to stroke a Plumber’s neck Chicago with a 40 gram weight it in.

I really think we all have a putter identity. There are huge benefits to a mallet and I don’t have any issue with anyone using them (well).

Oh that is another great example. That video showing the CBX2 being more consistent and more precise. That was a fun video to film.
If they made a 350g mallet I would consider it, but no one does.

This is my stance on equipment. If you hit the hammer better than anything else, play it!

In my defense… Edel is ?????
I am surprised no one made any predictions of my hand warmer decision.
That Bag Boy Warmer looks pretty sweet.

Probably got it, try it a few times, but then you’ll go right back to hot hands. 😉
does look cool though
I have one of the zippo fueled ones which works well but scares the crap out of me at the same time. :ROFLMAO:

Given you stated it’s basically a full swing club, why not into the set gap wedge? not judging, truly curious as it’s been fun to play with that spot this past year and I’m still torn on which way I would fall
Do you flight it a bunch? just history of not playing one? is it the whole change thing?

Great question. I’ve read lots of THPers struggle with distance on GW and it was my experience the last time I tried. I just haven’t had one in the bag for ages, love the features of a wedge and the mindset it produces.
I’d absolutely give the CBX2 some love.

Arccos told me, at least, that my distance control with the blade wedge was poor, so the set Forged Tec showed up this week. If that gives me fits the CBX2 is likely the next move if I can still get one, or the CBX Zipcore replacement that is apparently coming

I had one in the cart also.
I know where it went.
Loved the talk on layers as at times I’ve wondered if I play better in long sleeves as it keep me from getting my arms to deep into my swing. I can’t pull my arms into my body as well when wearing certain jackets, and when I don’t create space bad things happen with my swing.

I actually might be down to my last set.
[QUOTE=”Canadan, post: 10220687, member: 2320″]
Yes, but which ones?!
[/QUOTE]
I am only a few min in but. If we are talking grips the conversation should start with Z cords.

I’m pretty sure he has a storage room that looks like an Indiana jones warehouse with balls, gloves, grips, hot hands, hats, 1/4 zips, shoes

Great episode!
I am personally happy Dan has found success with the Super Rat ?.
And is there truly anything worse than cold hands while playing?!? (Maybe other than smacking the putter head against a cold ankle?)

I don’t care if the ankle is cold or not, that always freaking sucks
yeah keep the hands warm, keep the core warm, and for me, keep my ears warm

Agree on all parts. I want to keep my feet warm but haven’t found socks I like for that. It’s a fine balance between warm and toasty and hot and sweaty.
I’m in on tie-dyed ferrules.
Listening now and really enjoying the putter talk. I am with Dan regarding stocking up on discontinued putter grips. No matter how many times try to convert to “new and improved” or shapes/sizes that are supposed to make putting easier, I always go back to Lamkin REL 3Gen Smooth Pistol putter grips.

I need an extra day a week.
The golf ball talk is annoying..
Because I am starting to agree. I need to stop trying different balls all the time. But I like to try.
Also prov1 left for is amazing. I want more..
Fun listen! Interesting that you both found some success with a SeeMore putter at some point. It’s becoming clear I need to at least try one.
Finished it tonight on the way home from sim golf. Great work as always gents!!

I’m a believer that I had my best real prolonged stretch of putting with that M9. It’s a reason I look back it, I just want it to be heavier and a bit more modern.
