I have an odd problem when it comes to putting. I seem to have more luck with putts outside of 30' than I do putts inside 30'. During a round a few days ago I tossed my Champ Beast at the basket a few times from inside the circle and nailed it every time (It was one of those "Yeah man, maybe ill just putt with this.. har har har" type of things.) I repeated those shots with a few different putters and missed at least 60% of the time. After the warmup was done I decided that for the rest of the day if I was inside 30' I would putt with my Beast just as an experiment.... and I made twice as many putts as usual.
This made me think... What is causing me to miss with a putter but make it with a driver? I honestly believe that it has to do with my fingers getting caught on the rim of my putters because the driver just slides right out. Its almost like the fat of my fingers are grabbing the rim of my putters when I release and pulling them off to the side.
Last night I went to a cookout with some friends and we played some "C-A-T" on his practice basket and I decided to take the lowest profile,tiniest rimmed, most driver-feeling putter I have and work with it. I found that the Wedge actually felt like a reallllly shallow, small rim driver in my hand and I was able to make putts that I have been missing for the last few months. I also won the game of C-A-T .
Are there any other low profile discs like the Wedge out there? It really seemed to work for me and I think I am going to stick with it for a bit.
Am I right in thinking that it could be my fingers getting caught on the rim from that close in? I honestly have a 50% better chance of making it from outside the circle than inside lately. It blows my mind. Anyone else ever have this problem?
