Question for Mike O.

Thanks Mike.

But please elaborate if you feel so inclined when you get more time. Homers three putters, negative loft, hinge actions. I know that is a big topic. But if you got it please share it.

My friends damnable ability to hole out from anywhere on any surface has made me wonder about negative loft. He positions the ball at or near low point id say, hits it above the equator, his putter head somewhat hovered at address, his left hand fully un cocked so it looks high , arched, his wedges set, his right shoulder powers it all but on a very flat plane. He gathers up the lag in his #3 and sustains it all the way through. He doest think about weight at all ahead of time, he just steps up to it, hangs his wedges, takes a little practice swing to feel some lag collect, not even the right amount of lag, and then away he goes. An intuitive application of lag pressure. He likens it to tossing paper balls into a waste paper basket. It seems more horizontal hinging than angled. Ill have to look more closely. A hook faced old Ping Anser, a ton of deloft and a little chuckle to himself.

We play in a local muny club championship every year. I'm normally in total shock on the super slow and bumpy greens. He on the other hand is just chuckling to himself. Draino. "Yes, sir! Chuckle chuckle"

Have you got room in your freezer for one more?

I see what's going on now- word is out that my putting sucks- and you're trying to bait me on a new technique- that is kind of you but since my putting is so bad I tried to switch to your friends stroke a couple of posts ago - haven't made it yet but I am up to 22 putter shafts broken in the effort to add significant deloft- only 87 putters to go in the barn. Let us know how you end up delofting your putter and how it works for you

Describe what a "ton of deloft" looks like? I'm assuming the deloft is created by an extreme clubshaft lean or is the putter head/face really delofted? Is the clubhead movement going down, up or level at impact? I'll try anything to putt better- while I wait for your answers I'll be three putting from 4 feet. Send the informaion sooooooon!!!

Normal Anser putter, hands ahead, level but above the equator, putter hovered, no hand acceleration just shoulder powered.

Just noticed that Medicus is offering a variation on a negative lofted putter. Didnt there used to be a negative lofted putter back in the 60's? I remember seeing a sort of Bullseye type brass putter with negative loft.

I prefer the back flange of my Anser........never misses. Im wondering if I can order one from Ping that has the plumbers neck as per usual but with the face pointing backwards.

The only thing im wondering about with the medicus is if it allows for variation in the level of the putter through impact?
