Center Shafted vs. Heel Shafted Putters?
I have been out test driving putters. Am getting ready to buy one but have not quite made up my mind yet. Am thinking of the Odyssey DFX 1100 or Rossie or the Scottie Red X/X2.
Is there any advantage to a center shafted putter versus a heel shafted putter? I have tried both and am not sure it matters. At least to me anyway.
Anyone?
Depends on your putting stroke...
Found online:
"Face-balanced putters" are better suited for players with straight-back, straight-through putting strokes. Most mallet and center shafted putters on the market are face-balanced.
"Toe weighted putters" are better suited for players with a "gate" in their stroke, where the face opens up on the backswing and closes on the follow through. Most blade style putters like the Ping Anser, Scotty Cameron Newport, etc. are toe-weighted.
