Putter Aim putter choice question.
I had experimented a lot with putter choice to aim, I have huge problem with aiming previously.. And I came down to 2 which I can aim really well and swing it really well. Shoulder stroke.


Odyssey #3 XG ( kinda look like blade toe up, goose neck. 1/2 offset)
Odyssey blade 2 balls.

Any reason I have to pick a preference over the other?

Generally speaking, if your stroke is repeatable, and you teld to miss putts to the right, I would go with the more off-set of the two. Conversely, go with the less off-set if you miss to the left. You would be amazed at how few people can hit a bulls-eye from six feet once I placed a T-squared laser on their putter face after they swore they were aimed at the target. Much of it has to do with the dominance of one eye over the other. BTW, if you have a problem with aiming your putter face , use the name (straight letters) on the side of the ball and point it in the direction you want the ball to start.

As will all clubs - fitting makes a big difference.

Getting your eyes on plane helps a lot as well. Check out a pair of "pro aim" glasses if you can borrow them, and you'll probably see that your eyes are off plane. With a well fit putter, you'll be in a much more repeatable setup. No sense in fighting your alignments with ill fit gear.
