I already do it if I play by myself or in a twosome.

Will make 2% more putts. Scientific fact.

I always take it out, but I putt with some speed. I don’t want to ricochet off that thing.

It'll depend on the coefficient of restitution of the flagsticks.

During the work week I play rounds by myself. I always leave the pin in for the convenience. The pin in spits more balls out of the cup than helping.

On his radio show Hank Haney is saying it's only a matter of time and all tour players will leave it in.

I’m officially changing my mind on this one. I just went practice putt and an old timer showed me the math on it.

2 big ifs:
If you have a standard size fiberglass flag, and
If the flag is all the way in and upright:

The flag will help you every time. The fiberglass will take energy out of the ball. If you are smashing it, it may ricochet out, but it wasn’t going in anyway.

I’m going play tomorrow and putt with it in, if it is in all the way and upright.

Leave it in unless it’s leaning toward you.

We played in a 5some today and left it in all day.
1 putt hit the pin and jumped out, but at least 4 putts hit the pin with a lot of speed and went in. We accredited 4 makes to the pin being in.

I’m all about it. It’ll just be tough getting accustom to seeing the pin in.
