Find out if you putter is fading to fast or not fast enough. If it is going pretty straight but you seem to be hitting too high or too low then adjust on the weight of the putter. I agree with the other post in reference to the grip. When i have a driver i do curl all my fingers (except the pinky.......recently i found out it works a little better for me) and throw. For a midrange i curl just my first two fingers under the rim and fan the rest out for better control. Then for putting i put the index finger on the outside of the rim and fan the rest underneath.

Try different putters to find out if you like stiff or soft. Or if you like max weight or a little lighter. Or if you like more overstable compared to more understable. Or if you like to tuck the index finger underneath the rim or have it on the outside.

It is one the most detailed aspects of the game........its money!

Thanks for the awesome advice!

Default Go with it...

Find something you love and then throw it till it stops working for you. I started with Candy Rhinos of all things. I got stronger and got a lot of bounce outs and rolls when I missed so I switched up to Warlocks for the past 2 years. Just pulled the last warlock out of my bag to make room for the Organic Wizard... I now carry the super stiff super grip Organic Wizard, a medium wear Super soft Wizard, and my "wet towel" Super Stupid Soft 4 year old wizard. During the same time I switched from strattle putting with lots of hyzer and float to squared up straight line putting with a one finger pinch and a finger on the rim. Odd.

Find a friend (or come out to lunchtime and I'll show you about 6 different putters) with a bunch and stick with the one that Feels best.

Andy probably meant the Focus, which is indeed, quite stable.
