💀 Traditional Putters are DEAD

💀 Traditional Putters are DEAD

Hi Golfer,

Every so often, we see something in our testing that might just change the industry.

It’s rare that we find a product that can almost instantly lower your scores … but here we are.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been testing traditional putters (think your typical Scotty blade and TM Spider mallet) against the most popular zero torque putters (L.A.B. and PXG) here on our Puttview putting green.

The results are shocking to say the least. In a head to head competition, there really is no competition. Buckle up, you’re going to want to read this one.

The End of an Era in Putter Design

Traditional vs Zero Torque putters

Are we on the verge of a revolution in putter design?

At some point most things become obsolete. It’s just the way the world works. Evolution. Back in the mid 80’s the cassette tape replaced the 8-track, and if you said you saw that coming you would most likely be lying. Only a decade later (1991) CD sales surpassed cassettes. Now, we carry 1,000’s of songs in our pocket.

In the putter world we had the bullseye (released in 1940’s), that got replaced by the PING Anser in 1966. The Anser became the gold standard and it has held that crown ever since.

But, that reign might be over.

Ball Placement With Irons: Quick Start Guide

Try this hack!

Golf would be a lot simpler if we could set up and swing the same way regardless of the club we have in our hands. Sadly, that’s not golf. One of the most important adjustments is your ball position or placement. Mastering ball placement for irons involves understanding what are long irons, mid-irons and short irons and where they should be positioned relative to the center of your stance. If you want to hit more consistent iron shots, use this guide to better ball placement for irons.
