Long or short
The problem with the on going debate over the length of the putter shaft is a mute one. People kill people not guns. People make putts not putters. This is not rocket science. Its common sense. Not years of fooling people in to thinking you have to have a perfect swing to play this game. It takes about two months to learn to hit a golf ball then the rest of your life to forget it and just do it..Golf is the most over coached game on this planet. To many gimmicks and gadgets and people who will tell you any thing for money or a lesson. There are about four guy's on tour that can use a long putter with success the rest use a standard length. You take there long putter away and in a year they will be right where they are now. Its not the putter its the PLAYER that makes putts. His nerve. His will to win, pay his bills, feed his family these are the factor involved in making putts for a tour pro. And the club players their motivation is what ever they play for. Its not their livelihood.in most cases. So to take the long putter away would be just nothing. It will not change one thing. Just like the grooves did it change anything no.. Just another example of old people afraid of change. Everything evolves or it gets stagnant and dies.. That is what you should be afraid of. And lets face it golf is putting everyone learns to hit the ball. You can't score if you can't putt. So I think anything that will help people putt better is great for the game. Even though the long putter does not steady your hand or your nerves or keep you from coming up and pushing everything to the right. It would be great if it did but it don;t the same problems you have with the short putter will come out with the long after the two week honeymoon period. Its just like when you by a new driver for two weeks you are a God with it. Then you miss one and start looking and the honeymoon is over back to your old swing. Buy a long putter in a year you will be back to your old one. ha ha There is no magic bullet.. Sorry One mans Opinion.
