Belly putters

[Michael Jacobs]

Looks like Michelle Wie has switched back to using the belly in the belly (instead of up the left arm), plus a split grip hand position (for today anyway). Guess she's still searching a bit. I can relate to that

Tracy,

I thought of the belly putter topic the other day..

I gave a lesson to a gentleman who had a small belly putter and he putted the same way that Michelle used to putt. I tried a couple of putts to test it out and indeed the smaller belly size and the lie angle difference made it very easy to stroke the putter and control the attack angle.

When you say smaller, do you mean shorter?

Sorry for the confusion... Yes shorter

It was significantly shorter, I should have measure it. I would say 40 inches as a guess

Absolutley. They fitted me for a head that is in between a blade and mallet. Kind of like the SC fastback. I told him from the beginning I hated anything that wasn't a blade, but made the committment becuase of the money to listen to the pro and get fitted based on my eye line and stroke. I was lucky enough to get fitted by the top guy for Edel since I live close to Austin. I highly recommend it to anyone. With the fitting cost around $500, but alot better investment than a new white headed driver.

Is that a Tour Links putting green in the background? If so, how do you like it. I need something to get thru the winter up here. There are so many on the market, tough to decide what to get. Tx.
