Putting is all in the head the putter you use has very little to do with making putts it's a confidence thing. It's the indian not the arrow.

Ben Crenshaw was one of the greatest putters of all time and he used an old $30 putter that he used as a kid. Putters haven't changed all that much through the years but drivers have.

They went from wooden heads to steel then on to large titanium heads.

Even though driver heads have gotten bigger they gotten lighter due to the head composites and the new light weight shafts.

You can improve your game a lot with a driver by adding accuracy and a lot more distance if you're fitted correctly.

There's a lot more technology in a driver than a putter. If you can't get off the tee it sets you up for a bad hole.

Golf has become a distance game with the length of courses so investing in a good driver that fits your swing is important. You can buy a putter right off the rack and make putts you need to be fitted for a driver.

No question that driver technology has changed over the years. However, I'm talking about Joe Average golfer, not Ben Crenshaw. Joe Average can get a perfectly fine driver for 1/5 the cost of a new Taylor Made and hit it just as well (or poorly.) Just like Tiger can hit my driver way farther than I ever will.

Putter technology has advanced a ton over the years as well. Don't kid yourself. And Joe Average with a properly sized and balanced putter has a better shot at improving his score, in my opinion. Putting is all in your head??? No way. It's all in your hands....feel, speed, stability, repetition.

No one benefits from driver technology more than Joe Average golfer because they don't have near the skill of a tour pro and don't spend hrs a day hitting balls working on their game with an instructor watching their every move.

With the bigger driver heads come bigger sweet spots which makes the drivers of today much more forgiving than drivers just a few years ago.

If you look at the history of putters the technology has improved some but not nearly as much as with drivers. There's a lot of gimmick putters that have been introduced over the years and they've been proven to be just that gimmicks. They had inserts in putters 50 years ago.

There's really not that much you can do with a putter other than come up with a putter head to try and help a player align the putter.

Some pros still use the old bullseye putter that's been around since probably the turn of the century. There's putters that cost $500 and they certainly aren't more technically advanced than putters that cost $80.

Put Scotty Cameron's name on a putter and it's going to cost you.

The most important thing in a putter is that a player likes the look of it and can easily align it. Putting comes down to alignment and a players stroke. You slightly miss-hit a putt and it's over.

Putts are missed because of the player or the green conditions not the putter.

With the drivers today you can mis-hit them and still get away with it because of the size of the sweet spot on these big 460 CC heads. There's a lot more room for human error with drivers not so with putters.

Tiger can hit your driver farther than you will because he's a much better player and can produce a lot more club speed than you but he won't hit your driver as well as his own because yours isn't tailored for his swing. I'm sure he can make more putts with your putter than you do but is it the putter or him?

You can pick up a new driver from Walmart for $39 but you'll never hit it as straight or as far as you will a TaylorMade, Callaway or Cleveland driver.

I can make putts and compete using a 30 year old putter but I have no chance in the skin matches I play competing with a 30 year old driver or with some piece of crap driver from Walmart or Target.

Go purchase a cheap driver and compare the accuracy and distance of it with a TaylorMade, Callaway, Cleveland or Ping driver. Do the same test with putters go purchase a cheap $20 putter and do a putt off with a $300 Scotty Cameron and see if you notice a big difference in the amount of putts you make. With putters you won't.

You're making my point for me, yet arguing against me. I'm saying that it's the talent of the player, not the equipment. However, I'm also saying that it cracks me up when Joe Average spends $500 bucks on a driver that he may use 12 times a round (may), but won't spend good money on a putter that he'll use 30+ times a round. It cracks me up. Why is this a point of contention?
My Nephew is the perfect example.....he's a 100 shooter. It doesn't matter if he uses my driver, irons or spikes! He shanks my driver into the woods, he shanks my irons into the woods just as far as he does his own. However, he likes the feel of my putter better than his...mostly because it's well balanced and has a 35" shaft. He's tall like me, so it fits him. He makes more puts with it. It's just the way it is. Now how many $30 putters have you seen with 35" shafts and perfect balance?

OP is a troll. FYI...

Everybody is a troll when they dont agree with people like you. OP is right on the money with his post. i dont want stats. i want a QB who takes us to the super Bowl. and Romo has not come close to doing that.these stats mean nothing when you cant win big games.

Define "big games"

 

[silverbear]

I only used my putter 27 times last Sat. Very good day on the course.

Only played 9 holes, eh??

Minnesota in the 2009 playoffs. the Gaints when he went to Carbo. then lost. Seattle where he fumble the snap on a game winning FG. Romo has not even come close to the Super Bowl. he has one playoff win in 5 years. while Drew Brees is getting his team togather and working out. this guy is playing golf. give me a break.

:laugh2: No the full 18, no windmills or clown heads. Just alot of work paying off.

I get out about 1.5 hours ahead of my tee time, hit some balls on the range (not many just enough to loosen up) Get some chipping in and the rest of the time on the putting green. I watch some of the other guys go out hit few putts and then see them act shocked when they 3 and 4 putt on several holes during a rd.

One quick workout and back to golf, is not going to cut it. he needs to spend this time getting better at football. and quit trying to play pro golf. that's why the Cowboys not drafting a QB was stupid.

How do you know that this will be the extent of their workouts?

You guys will never get it! being an NFL QB is a year round job if you want to be really good. now if you want to just another NFL QB. spend a lot of time doing the things Romo does. it would be one thing if he had won anything. but he has not even come close. you guys need to stop cheerleading, and wake up to this guy.

I'll give you the fumbled snap against Seattle. (Even though you didn't mention that Terry Glenn's fumble at our own goal line, which resulted in a Seattle recovery for a touchdown, was the real reason we lost that game.)
I can't give you the Giants playoff game. He had a better day than Eli and had 2 more touchdowns dropped.
And blaming him for the Minnesota game is insane. He doesn't kick field goals, play in the secondary or block on the o-line. That's where the blame goes in that game.

Of course, he did go into New Orleans and win, which started a playoff run.
He did beat the Eagles 3 times 2 years ago and won the NFC East.
He did go into Green Bay and win.
He did go up to New York and win.
He did go into Chicago and win.
He's 38 - 17 as a starter in the regular season.
Should I go on??

Ah, I see. You have no response.
