Thanks. I feel that way too...can't go to McD's for less than $20 anymore, and $19 is change now a days. I was hoping to hear if anyone has used it and noticed any benefit, but I would think just on the idea of it pointing out what someone may be doing wrong and starting from there....would help....even if 1 stroke per round (can't tell you how many times my son has come short by that magical 1-stroke margin).

Normally I am right there with you on your posts...you lost me on this one...I get what you are saying about nuance and feel...so much is important in good putting (which has escaped me currently BTW) that is not covered in a straightforward iron byron approach...but to say that someone ought not be fitted for clubs as it would detract from "feel" is as Mike Tyson would say "discombobulatingly ludricous"...mechanics are not the be all end all of good putting, but as in every part of the golf game, good mechanics are prized and valued...

With all the trial and error tinkering that you do I am suprised that you wouldn't support what could amount to an additional edge in the putting game...it won't put the ball in the hole, but how can learning that you are most comfortable and hold you balance easiest with a certain lie angle and shaft length consititute forsaking putting nuance and becoming a slave to mechanics?
