I'm actually considering getting a belly putter and was wondering if anyone on this forum has tried one or uses one on a regular basis. I'm looking at getting an Odyssey two ball putter that is 41 inches. I tried it on a practice green and my putts were rolling much better and much closer to the hole. My driving and iron game is so much better than my putting that I feel like I need to do something. I don't three putt very often but I miss way too many putts inside 10 feet.

No, my belly is pretty flat actually. I'm trying to lose the love handles that I've recently developed over the Holidays. Based on what Edgey said in his post I probably won't get a Belly putter. Prior to buying equipment I'm really trying to think to myself beforehand "do I really think that I'm going to keep this piece of equipment for longer than a year?".
What about a blade putter? I'm also considering the Ping Tess or Yes Sophia.

Funny that but i am gnats bollock from pulling the trigger on an Odyssey Protype PT 82. Always loved blade putters and this one is the dogs nuts. Lot of dosh though

I saw that putter in the display case. Looks pretty good and I like the site line going all the way along the top of the putter. Another one I like is the Yes Nicky. The only problem with it is that I had a friend in elementary school named Nicky and we argued all the time. Buying a Yes! Nicky would make me feel like I'm giving in. Not in my nature.

Then you definitely shouldn't be messing around with Tess or Sophia.
If i purchased a Nicky putter and she found out i could never get rid of it. She would see it as a massive rejection. Women, cant live without em, cant leave them in the gutter when you have finished with them
Tess isn't that pretty but I'm always able to get it in the hole with her. She can be tempermental but always comes through when I need her.
Sophia is dark and mysterious. She is a basic beauty with fine lines and no bling. She's a little rough on the surface but she rolls tighter than most.
Nicky's got a little junk in the trunk but it takes little to offset her performance. All I have to do with her is take hold and go along for the ride. It's like she's on autopilot.

We clearly have different experiences with Nicky..................
Famousdavis, belly putters are GR Certified gay, many past GR Polls have confirmed this fact. Therefore it is essential that you and Edgey at least try bagging one, as Edgey already has.
A belly putter is perfectly acceptable as long as its user places no value on the honor component in golf. The other thing is they need to feel comfortable looking like a dirtbag.

This is good stuff and what I need to hear. I'm getting closer to a decision based on this good empirical data.

FD: you are way too young for a belly putter... unless you have had too much sex that you hurt your back and could not bend anymore... As I mentioned before , I have 3 Ram Zebra mallet putters, I removed the bottom plate and took out the foam insert where I filled in its cavity with heavy sand... it's so damn good for my putting game...

Thanks Pk, I'm taking the advice of the wise sages and I will not purchase a belly putter. I had purchased a G-Roll putter (unknown company here in So. Cal) and returned it today and purchased a brand new Ping Ug-Le putter 34 inch for $79. Pretty good deal I think. I almost got the Tess but had to be honest with myself that a blade putter would probably give me trouble on the 4 footers. The Ping G5 Ug-Le is indeed ugly but very easy to line up and make short putts. It feels perfect in my hands. It's like one of the those putters you pick up and before you even hit a ball with it you're thinking "this looks right".

Exactly how I felt 15 yrs ago when I picked up the Ram Zebra putter, it's like love at the first sight and that's the only putter that I have used... I did try my friend's Ping EZ putter (I just like mallet type in general) and I like that also but I am bias so like my Ram Zebra putter better

FD,
As OP has pointed out, Monty uses one, and so does Vijay Singh. And if that doesn't put you off consider Kiwi and Zo's summation of what it will do to your image (I know how hypocritical it must sound getting image lectures form me).
In all seriousness, if you have the time to put in a bit of work, I think you should try putting left hand low. Speaking form experieince it will feel weird at first, but after a month or so it will be compsletely natural and you'll feel like you've putted that way all your life. I know what is said about it around here, but there are plenty of good pros who put reverse grip, and Harrington won 3 majors with it and was absolutely solid as a rock with putts from inside 10 feet. I'm not a great putter by any means, bt since going left hand low I am much better, and rarely miss a straight putt from inside 6 feet.
The views expressed by Not a Hacker are not meant to be understood by you primitive screw heads. Don't take it personally, just sit back and enjoy the writings of your better.

I must admit I would feel strange using a Belly putter. Partly becasue of the sissy factor and part because I don't think they should be legal. It just seems wrong to me. So, I got the Ping UG-LE and we'll see how it works. I might try the left hand low idea.

Spoken like a true gentleman FD. Belly and broomstick putters are not only a blight on the game, they are tantamount to cheating. They might not brealk the rules of the game, but they are definitely against the spirit of the rules. A stroke with part of the club anchored to your body does not constitute a proper golf stroke, but for whatever reason the chicken shitt law makers won't ban them. Personally I would like to see them banned retrospectively right back to when they were first used, have all results of those who used them wiped from the records books, and for the governing bodies to start legal proceedings to recoup the money (plus interest) from the guys on tour who used them.

They probably don't see a need to ban them since most the people using them have putting problems to begin with. I never see them on the course. I actually consider myself a decent putter but I feel like it doesn't match some of the better parts of my game like driving and irons. I do have a new theory on how to improve my wedge shots from within 100 yards and that is to not leave myself in that position. On Par 5's, I'll make sure I'm around 115 out and hit the necessary club to get to that position.

Laying up on a par 5 to the correct range. The smart play but one I rarely employ. If I'm in the clear I just grab my longest club (3 wood or 18* hybrid) and fire away. Maybe not the smartest tactic but on the other hand I'm pretty comfortable wedging it in from inside 100.

Isn't that what pitch shots are all about?
I think a 40 yard pitch is tougher than from 100 yards. Most pros will lay up to around 100 yards if they can't make the green. Guys like me that play once a week (at most) don't have time to dedicate to short pitch shots. I'm just lucky that I have the greatest sand wedge ever invented, the Ping Eye 2 becu SW.

Depends on what's in front of you. If it's flat and open and the pin is up the back a 40 yard bump and run is an easy shot to play, and removes the need for the far trickier 40 yard pitch. But if the pin is up front or there are obstacles to go over, I agree that a full GW from 115 is a much easier shot than a delicate 40 yard pitch.

NAH, I've been eyeballing a used Titleist 905R with an Aldila NV-65 Stiff shaft (the green one). It's a 9.5 degree driver. I had the 905R 9.5 degree before with the Graphite Design YS-6+ Stiff shaft and the trajectory was a bit too high. Do you think the Aldila NV-65 will result in a lower ball flight than the YS-6+? Anyone else have an opinion?

Yes.
Personally I hate the NV shafts. They feel very boardy to me but they do hit the ball mid-low. Especially the stiff version.

FD, I guarantee you will get a lower and more penetrating ball flight with the NV 65 stiff than the YS 6+, and I think your accuracy will improve too. IMO the YS6+ is a soft tipped shaft designed to help slower swingers get the ball up in the air, but it becomes a hook machine in the hands of anyone who really likes to load the shaft. I've seen your swing and I have no doubt you have the swing speed to handle a NV 65 stiff, as the NV is a medium rated stiff IMO, nowhere near as boardy as a graf blue or even a Pershing 75 stiff. I can also vouch that the combo you are looking at will give a nice medium height penetrating trajectory with plenty of roll. If it stays within your price range I recommend you pull the trigger on it, it is the best feeling driver I've ever hit in that combo.

Thanks. There's also a 905T driver with the exact same NV Shaft but in regular flex. I actually like the look of that driver a little better and it's only 8.5 loft and $59.

I really like NV R-flex green shaft... very "responsive" , one in my TEE driver and another one in my TEE CB-1 3-W

The "t" is less forgiving than the "r". It is the 905r and that model specifically that has the topline reputation with good players. It dosen't translate to the "t".

How the fuk have me and FD suddenly swapped usernames on this thread? I was just reading a quote from me I don't remember writing.
But listen to OP FD, stick with the 905R.

I won't buy the T. I like the look of the 905R better than their newer drivers. A little too space age for Titleist.
I'm with you on this one. The 905R oozes understated class, the newer ones look a bit too gimmicky. I must say that I've played with guys who absolutely bomb the 909 series, but then the same guys were bombing the 905R 3 or 4 years ago. I'd like to know what the pros think of the newer drivers. I remember when the 907D2 came out Titlesit was pushing it by getting their tour players to use them, but lot's of pros held out and kept the 905R in the bag long after it was replaced on the market by the 907 series. I wouldn't be surprised if there were still pros using the 905R.

The 907D2 is a beautiful driver, but it had a strange feel to it and the face felt too soft or something. It's like it didn't have enough feedback.

While this may work on most par 5's it is still a "crutch" and a crutch can be knocked out from under you. I am very comfortable from 100 yards in I think because I did not know that it was suposed to be dificult and I had the ability to practice a lot in this area, and I found it quite fun. My course has a 1 1/2 acre practice yard with two small greens and bunkers (although the bunkers have some mixed in stones in them) also I have some rural propery that I pitch around at on the weekends as I dodge the occasional dog poop here and there. I also have a 20 yard wide dirt road there that I use as a driving range. This makes a fairway seem like an interstate. While at home in town I practice in the much smaller backyard just pitching at a flagstick in the ground. I find myself on the course gauging my short pitch backswing by recalling my backyard short pitch backswing length almost everytime. In other words I constantly compare the distance at hand on the course to comfortable distances in my yard or practice areas.
Oh yeah...the long putter is quite gay unless you are a really old man. Also, If the long putter is legal, then why can I not use my foot? The putting stroke is worth the same as a driving stroke, but I have a H.O.G. driver that is banned...WTF?

So, was the point of your post that I should buy a farm?
So, was the point of your post that I should buy a farm?
No, of course not. What I am saying is that since you are short on time to practice perhaps you may find a place like a small park near you where you may be able to go without too much trouble and just pitch some balls around for a few minutes here and there. If you have a small back yard it will go a long way on the small pitches around the green. If you live in a condo maybe there is a small common green area you can use. My point is that avoiding a weakness while it is a strategy, it is not a solution.

I disagree. First of all, the majority of players have trouble with shots inside of 100 yards. Let's face it, it's difficult to hit a 40 yard shot and have it perform the way you intended. You can practice all day but it's still tougher than a 100 yard shot. So, with that, why not try to avoid getting inside 100 yards when you have the opportunity to do so? I agree that I can't keep from missing greens on Par 4's and leaving the occassional 20 yard pitch. What I can do is not layup to a distance that is inside of 80 yards (where I get in trouble).
By the way, I'm not talking about straight away chips or pitches where you have room on the green and you're just off the green. I'm talking about the shots that are in the range of 20 to 80 yards from the green.

This is of course the most important part of improving your game. Practice all parts of it, not just full shots on the range. It's pretty obvious but does escape a lot of players.
As Jetdriver plays Hogan irons he is probably aware of Hogans own theory for improvement "the answer is in the dirt".

That's pretty silly if you really think about it. The answer is to seek help and guidance to first perfect the correct posture, alignment and swing for a pitch shot and then go practice it. Also, I do not believe that you gain that much from hitting short shots at the rane because I don't think it simulates the shot on the course. I can go to the range and hit perfect 40 yard shots one after another but it does not translate to the golf course.
Hogan was wrong. The truth is that the answer is on the links. Hogan was not a Mason and was not privy to the mystical secrets. The secret is in the lost word.

I know you are fast closing in on 5,000 posts, but you haven't been around here long enough to make a call on this. It is a well established GR tenet that golf insturction is for suckers, and that all a real golfer needs to build a swing is to get out there on the range and dig it out of the dirt.

I know you are fast closing in on 5,000 posts, but you haven't been around here long enough to make a call on this. It is a well established GR tenet that golf insturction is for suckers, and that all a real golfer needs to build a swing is to get out there on the range and dig it out of the dirt.
Excuse me but I've been posting on GR since 2001, back when Powerbuilt was only a 10-year has-been company. I'm talking about getting instruction and then going forward and using it. I'm not talking about getting countless lessons and still hacking it around and counting fairways and greens.

Posting on the 'review' section doesn't cut it. In 2001 Powerbilt had won 8 majors with their irons, Ping had Calc fluking one by spinning it out of the rough with a now illegal club, so basically one major through cheating.

John Daly won the PGA in 1991 using Ping Eye 2 irons. That Argentinian dude, Vino Sagagrachi or something like that, won two majors with Pings. Ping is sold in the best stores and Powerbilt can only be found in Kmart and the Dollar Store.
