I'm sure we've all done this, I know I've switched putting styles about 3848283 times in the past year. I finally settled on a straddle pitch putt and I don't change it. I figure out how to make it work in the wind. If I'm outside my range or have a low ceiling I just throw an approach shot. I started doing this because having different putting styles really messed with my head and I'm so much more consistent with one routine.
It seems Nikko is going through this right now. He developed a spin putt, which was well documented when he hit the winning putt with a spin putt in the wind at the preserve. In the most recent tournament I watched, the announcers mentioned that he's switching between the spin and pitch putt based on "feel" and was even changing putters during the round. Here's the coverage: https://youtu.be/IdgyR7ghHnE
Check out 14:52 and 17:22. It seems he's really struggling with his putt and switching between styles without any rhyme or reason.
Do any of you make this work? Having different styles based on what feels good, or other factors?
