Putter without 15ft increment

  I would love to see this, as I don't use the 15ft increment, always change to 30. Sometimes however I'll change and it will somehow change back (I use a laptop, not a wheelie mouse) and sometimes I just have a brain fart and don't change it. These don't happen too often but when you leave a straight 5ft putt short cause of this, it can be painful. :-)

  It would be interesting to see if there are any other players that putt this way, and if so, if there are enough for WGT to consider bringing out a putter like this.

  In an ideal world I'd like to see to a Rossa type putter like this.

  Thanks

  Hmmm, I guess we're alone creamer. I can't see WGT bringing 1 out for just us two. :-)

  Was worth a try.

  One advantage of a 30ft vs 15ft meter - is that on the 30ft meter the meter speed will be less than for an equivalent putt on the 15ft meter.  Eg. 16 foot putt on Tournament greens, you would neet to use 2 x avatar movements on the 15ft meter, but only one on the 30ft meter, and the meter will be much slower on the 1x avatar movement putt.

  i do this too using the Nike Method .. 10, 20, 50, 100 increments (150 & 300 .. don't use it)

  except i'll use 100th scale for 20 f'ter, 50th scale for 10 f'ter etc .. works wonders if u r a ding putter

  Wayne; there's one putter out there that'll be perfect for you.....I give you the "WGT Starter Putter!!!!"

  This miraculous club comes in with a 30ft increment as standard and is well known to solve the issue that your facing ;)

  In all seriousness, it'd be good if WGT would allow us to set a default power level that the putter would always start from. If I get distracted, then I commonly use the 10 increment rather than the 20 on the Nike putter.

  LOL, I actually considered that, but then thought back to the tour round where we had to use the starters and that didn't go to well for me. :-) So I'll rather just keep begging WGT.
