Lol it's actually half of that if your friends with a dealer. I pay $200 for any BGT or LAGP model through a friend

Would love nothing more than to have the time to do this. Unfortunately with a full time job, wife and 3 kids, my practice time is shall we say limited. Lol.
I’m going back to 30 minutes a night every night on the perfect practice mat and I’ll let you know if that helps.

Good luck.

My sand and chip game was lousy with an otherwise solid game, so I bought an annual pass at this place called Golf in the Round on the west side of SLC. I'd go there after work when in town and on weekends and after a year and a half I was competent. It probably saved me 3-4 strokes per round. I think you're going to have to do something like that to get your putting dialed in. Its the most important part of the game.

Use this on chips and long putts.

Not very realistic for those of us not connected. More realistic would be to buy an Odyssey and pull it from that head. Not the OG shaft but similar concept. I think MGS did a review and the differences were negligible.

As part of your pre-shot routine take 2-3 strokes looking at the hole.


Checking back in... just wanted to say I played this morning and tried this routine out on every hole. It really helped a lot! I only had 1 3-putt on #14 at OCC, it was a tough one because I was on the back portion of the green and the flag was all the way at the bottom. A 2-putt would have been a very good outcome for better players. Anyway, thanks for the tip... it worked for today at least! Shot 83, still had 36 putts but I just couldn't get any birdies to fall. Hit 10 GIR but 2 putt everything.

14 is a pretty big green

I'm not in the industry or anything, these are just people I've met posting simple WTBs on WRX. But as far as the Stroke Lab shaft, the only thing comparable would be against the BGT models, as they're steel tipped. Accra & LAGP are straight graphite. I have the LAGP 135 in my BB0 and it's the best combo I've assembled

Yea I hit a good drive down the right side, had about 158 in, usually 160 is a stock 7-iron for me so I choked down a little on the 7 but I absolutely nuked it and hit it probably 15 yards long lol

Green is downhill and maybe a favorable wind at your back. Or you just crushed it lol

One often overlooked aspect of distance control with the putter is sweet spot contact. Contact towards the heel or toe can greatly effect roll out. Be sure to make sure you're making contact with the ball in the sweet spot or very close to the sweet spot each and every time.
The other thing I'd look at is tempo. Find your natural tempo and try and mimic it with each stroke. The best lag putters all seem to have a nice rhythmic putting stroke!
