Selecting and Buying the Perfect Quality Putter Regardless of Price or Style
. . . So You’re Going to Buy a Putter
Unless
you are REALLY good at your short game, your putter is the only club you will
use on EVERY hole. A very well known
golf instructor once told me, “Putting accounts for about 44% of your
game”. Think about it: one putt counts
exactly the same as a 350-yard drive.
If
44% of my game is my putter, do I spend 44% of my practice time on the putting
green?
Ok,
with that out of the way, let’s start again:
. . . So You’re Going to Buy a Putter
As
you look at clubs on the web, you will quickly realize that there is a far
greater variety of putters available than any other club. Instead of making the selection process
easier, this huge variety actually makes the decision much more difficult. In addition, how many putter ads have you
read that tell you “This putter is as good as the others, but no better”? Nope, each new putter that hits the market is
“THE WORLD’S MOST BALANCED PUTTER or it will “SOLVE ALL
OF YOUR PUTTING PROBLEMS”, will “HIT
TRUER AND STRAIGHTER”, will “TAKE
STROKES OFF OF EVERY HOLE”, and the claims go on and on.
Even
though we are not a “brick and mortar” store, I must say, the only way to find
your “Perfect Putter” is to try them. Go
to every golf or sporting goods store and try EVERY putter they have on display
- even the ones that look like something from outer space. I tried one a couple of weeks ago that was
about the size of half a Frisbee(R). The only thing that matters with your putter
is that it has the right “FEEL” to you.
Don’t ask anyone for their advice.
Advice doesn’t matter. It is all
about what it FEELS like to YOU.
With
that said, here’s my advice.
How much should you spend and how good does your putter need to be?
Will
you get better quality if you pay more?
Possibly. You can get a great
putter for anywhere between $29 and $900.
(Yes, $900 – it includes 3
gyroscopes, each with a separate GPS
and 2 accelerometers) - I just went to Google and typed in “putter
prices”
Do you need a $900
putter? I won’t even attempt to answer
that.
So
how much should I pay? If your new
putter feels right, raises your confidence, and helps you GET THE BALL IN THE HOLE, then THAT is a great
putter, no matter what it costs. (Or
doesn’t cost)
Let
me give a great example: If
you spend some quality time trying all of the putters in your zip code, and
surrounding states, and find that you REALLY like the feel of a Perimeter
Weighted Putter (The half-round style), and you have decided that THIS is the
putter style that you want, you could then come to Golf Father Online and take
a look at our new Quality Perimeter Weighted Putter. If this matches your choice, it will only
cost you $29.90 (On sale NOW and Shipping Is Free) to have it sent to your door.
One
more piece of advice (which I told you not to ask for)
After
you purchase your “ideal” putter, ask yourself this:
- How many buckets of
balls do I hit with my driver?
- How many buckets of balls
do I hit with my irons?
- How many buckets of
balls do I hit with my putter?
Remember
if 44% of my game is my putter, do I spend 44% of my practice time on the
putting green?
Thanks
for asking, Ed
