I'm such a bonehead

  So, I've been happily using my level 19, TM spider putter for some time now. I've since upgraded most of my bag and decided to upgrade my putter to the level 66 TM Ghost Spider putter. My spider had worked well, so I didn't bother to rent the new putter first. I just bought it. At first, I hated it. I was leaving every shot short. I used it for a couple games and put it up and switched back to my old reliable spider putter. After all, it wasn't me, it was that darn putters fault. I broke it out again today and figured out my bonehead move. My old spider putter starts it's increments at 25% and that scale is burned into my brain. The new ghost spider putter starts at 15%. When I first started using the ghost, my mind was using a scale of 25%, yet the scale was actually at 15%. So, all my shots were coming up short. I didn't bother to notice the % on the left of the scale, until today. What a relief.

  LOL ,

  I find that if i play a  shot and it comes no where near where i thought it would that a quick recheck of what i done to calculate the shot usually results in me seeing that i forgot or ddint add the shot upo properly,

  glad you noticed your mistake and are now enjoyin the new club, just shows that it aint always WGT fault or VEM/DEV fault but actually the plyr

  strange that!!

  The level 19 Spider is the best putter for me to score with. I have most of these high credit putters & I hate the way the ball rolls with the shorter putts, even hitting it hard enough, idk.

  The Dayton Rossa putter is the one that I'm trying to convert to and it's not going so well as far as my convertion to the Rossa.
