well ya of course a more expensive, more technologized putter outperforms a walmart putter.... im not an idiot. i work in the golfing business myself and have a 2 handicap.. my game has gotten a lot better since i bought my ping putter in real life.
but what im talking about is not simply a person putting well, im talking about a player with a putter who drianed 5 putts from outside 20 ft.. and the extra hole winner from the fringe from 25 ft. no to mention a birdie to tie me from 12 ft on the first hole. 5 bidries in 10 holes. 1 approach inside 20 ft. does this make sence? can tiger putt this well with the best putter in the world? no... luck is luck but seeing those putts go in is really tough when u know u have driven, approached, and played a short game better than that player. i was -4 under myself that round and he was -5 through 10. avg between 72 and 73. no comment.
and a putter is a putter. its a f lat stick... if ur stroke is awful u wont hit it straight. the line is not the difference its the feel and the connection. u will be able to get used to the weight and distance a lot faster. but the direction really doesnt change. yes the weight in the putter is different to cause a striaghter putting plane, but it doesnt help that much... like be honest.
