Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with my putting game lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. You know, I watch all these pros like Scottie Scheffler, and I’m like, “I wanna putt like that!” So, I started looking into what he’s using.
Turns out, Scheffler made a big change not too long ago. He switched up his putter. I mean, the dude was already killing it, but he decided to try something new. That’s bold, right?
I did a bit of digging, and it looks like he was using this blade putter, a real classic, and he won, like, six times with it. But then, he just switched it up! He started testing out different putters, from what I’ve read, he was trying all sorts of different options, you know, really experimenting.
Then, he landed on this TaylorMade Spider mallet putter. I heard he made this change back in March, and guess what? He started winning again, like, almost immediately. He even used the Spider putter in nine worldwide wins, how crazy is that?
It’s not just TaylorMade, though. I heard he’s also been messing around with a putter from this company called Olson Putter Co., some smaller brand that’s been around for a few years. It seems like he’s really trying to find the perfect fit, no matter what.
My Experiment Begins
So, inspired by Scheffler’s experimental spirit, I decided to give it a go myself. I went down to my local golf shop and started testing out some mallet putters. I tried a few different ones, different weights, different grips, the whole nine yards.
- Tried a few mallet putters: I spent a good couple of hours just rolling putts, trying to get a feel for each one.
- Focused on feel: It wasn’t just about how the putter looked, but how it felt in my hands, the balance, the weight.
- Noticed a difference: Honestly, I started to see why Scheffler might have made the switch. The mallet putters just felt more stable to me.
After all that testing, I finally settled on one that felt right. It was not the same brand as Scheffler’s, but hey, that’s the beauty of it, right? We’re all different. I took it out on the course for a few rounds, and let me tell you, my putting has improved. I’m sinking more putts, feeling more confident. I feel like I’ve made some serious progress. I’m not saying I’m going to be winning any tournaments soon, but I’m definitely feeling better about my short game.
So, yeah, that’s my Scheffler putter story. It’s not just about copying the pros, but about finding what works for you. And sometimes, a little change can make a big difference. Keep experimenting, folks!
