A buddy of mine saw an infomercial about the Dr Feelgood Putter, and he is convinced it will help his game. I researched it on the net and it looks like it would be difficult to use. Has anybody used this putter?

Um, this putter may be considered illegal.

Go to http://www.usga.org/equipment/guide/guide_to_the_rules.html#

I think you will find it does not conform to USGA specs.

The company claims it is a legal putter. After reading the USGA regulations, I'm not sure if it is.

Not Likely USGA Approved

The Dr Feelgood Putter looks like this:



The USGA Rules on putter design reads:

4. Clubhead

....

b. Dimensions
The distance from the heel to the toe of the clubhead shall be greater than the distance from the front to the back.


The heel is the part of the striking face closest to the golfer and the toe is the part of the striking face furthest from the golfer. In the case of the Dr Feelgood putter, the face is the smallish rectangle at the front end of the long dimension of the putter head. The width of the face is clearly not longer than the dimension of the putterhead from front to back.

In general, once the USGA has reviewed and approved a putter, the USGA states this in a letter to the submitter. Unless the manufacturer or seller can display this letter, the putter is not approved.

The Dr Feelgood Putter is available online at Golf Technologies.

This putter should not be confused with the putter line offered by Feel Golf of Monterey, California or the putters offered by Fiel Golf in the UK.

The Dr Feelgood Putter looks like a pretty good training aid!
