"It's not like making a putting stroke is wrestling a gator ... Cheers!" - Geoff Mangum
I was going to jump into this discussion after reading the silliness that has been posted by those who neurotically nit-pick over putter design destabilizing their delicate pussy-putting stroke ... but you said it all in a polite and gentlemanly matter.
It's incredible that 175+ lb. ham-fisted men would think that a slightly eccentric putter head would disrupt their putting stroke! The static torque to hold the putter forward on it's lie angle (in the sagittal plane) is much greater than the stroking force of the putter in the pendular plane. But these pussy neurotics want to fault their putter design for their inability to control their stroking! Of course, you Geoff, would not say something so impolite to them, but I will!!!
Fellas ... using Geoff's putting principles as prescribed in Optimal Putting will enable you to use any kind of putter design your heart desires ... Wilson 8802 like Mickelson uses, Scotty-status putter like Tiger uses, even the mallet-monstrosities being marketed to the moronic masses ... but only if you "practice" faithfully and knowledgeably ... it's all within your golf-ing fantasies..!!!
Geoff ... I just found an oldy putter in a golf store barrel that's a real pip ... called "Spalding Challenger" .. which is an 8802 design heel-shafted putter ... and it's only a tiny 3 inches from heel to toe, as opposed to the usual 4 inches... with a cute black ferrule with s/n 22687 obviously stamped in by hand and the original illegal-shaped rubber grip cracking slightly from drying out over the ages ... only $10 ... and I use it devastatingly against my friends with their $250 Scotties .. and mock them with a silent smirk and your great putting method-mentality ..!!!
IT'S NOT THE PUTTER .. IT'S THE STROKE THAT YOU USE TO POKE THE BALL WITH 1/10,000 OF THE ENERGY YOU GENERATE IN YOUR DRIVES ....!!!!
