IMO they either need to restrict the size of putters altogether or make it so its legal to anchor the putter.

How did Bhatia pull a travel ball wife? (Her name is Presleigh)


Wasn’t she sort of a random girl he met at a KF event?

He is clearly talking us left-handed golfers.

I’ve never understood why the 46” max club length wouldn’t apply to putters



As of January 1, 2022, the USGA and R&A implemented a Model Local Rule (MLR G-10) allowing tournaments to cap maximum driver length at 46 inches, reduced from the standard 48-inch limit. This rule applies to elite professional and amateur competitions, not recreational golf.

There is no maximum length for putters in the USGA Rules of Golf, allowing for belly or long putters. While other clubs are generally limited to 48 inches (or 46 inches under specific local rules), putters are exempt from this restriction, provided they comply with other technical rules regarding design and do not violate anchoring

The effect is just like 'belly putting' which is by far the easiest way to putt. What he does is the same thing imo. There is a reason he putts better than almost everyone out there.

His stroke is obscenely pure and consistent.

It’s anchored AF.

A lot of fat SOBs can’t wrap their minds around how much room there is between his shirt and his chest.

I tried the long putter a few times at golf shops and putting green. It just feels weird to me, but IF I could shave some shots off I’d putt with a spatula.

Everyone on tour basically says it's only touching his shirt. Unless the PGA comes out and says something, let the man putt.

Yeh Michael Kim said it’s very obvious in person he isn’t actually anchoring it and not a single player is concerned about it

In the picture everyone is posting it’s pretty clear the putter is nowehere near his chest. Unless you think ashkay looks like Arnold in 84 when he removes his shirt

he's like 125 lbs soaking wet, it likely is only touching his clothes. I imagine his chest is concave.

This is what's happening. He wear baggy polo's and he's super skinny so the putter is touching his shirt not his chest.

His top hand clearly moves forward with the stroke. He is not anchoring.

OK when you wear a shirt does it sit on your chest or does it hover an inch and a half off your skin? What are we talking about? The guy is anchoring. Anyone with eyes can see it.

Ah but you see the new Nike Dri-fit Ultra Wick 7000 tech uses the magic of child labor to give you the industry's most breathable shirt, capable of hovering even when a putter is fully pressed up against it
