Hear here! Or the hole should be increased to 9 inches across. 3 feet is too big, but 4 inches is diabolically too small for we mere humans. And Ben Hogan, as I recall.
I am considering trying an ARMLOCK but thinking I like Evnroll's option and design. Anything that helps eliminate three putts is intriguing in helping lower my scores
Armlock putters are extremely expensive right now. I did this and it has worked amazing! I had a 36" Odyssey O-works Tank 7 putter lying around. I took it to Golf Galaxy and had them put on a 5" extension, the Jumbo Max putter Bryson uses in the red, white and blue, and then changed the loft and lie to match the new arm locks coming out. Luckily this worked out and the shaft did not break when adjusting the loft and lie. If I were to do this again, I would have them change the loft and the lie before anything else so that if the shaft breaks you do not need to repay for the grip and extension. All and all since I had the putter lying around it only cost me about $45 bucks to do, works great, and a lot cheaper then $800.
This leapfrogging drill is my new favourite. However, I have modified it in that I aim for a forward ball (and not a tee (which is inefficient to be honest) - thus having a smaller target, as well as the fact that if the forward ball is hit it will nevertheless advance forward (and sometimes at an angle - thus changing the putting line a bit for variety). In practical terms this is one of the best drills ever. However, you can take it a step further.... You could set up 4 balls in a square pattern and hit them in a clockwise/anti-c pattern
do you think that the reduced pressure on the green will help you in other aspects of the game during tournament play? Also how are you coping with the mental pressure of a tournament? i find that while im alone or just practicing i can hit a lot more consistent but as soon as im out on the course with my playing partner i start making alot of silly mistakes and dont feel comfortable being the ball
Maybe I missed the video where you explained, but when did you fall out of love with the LAB "mega-mind" putter? You seemed more confident with that one in your hands.
I feel like for pros and higher caliber players, they can have very love-hate relationships with their putters. Probably explains why they usually have over a dozen that they practice and switch out with. Since so much of putting is feel, confidence, and personal preference, maybe Finchie started to lose some of that with the LAB and wanted to try out the Sik model in comparison
@@diogeneslantern18 Interesting take. Mathematically and logically, it shouldn’t. But then again golf has never been one to follow logical patterns at times
@@sprtsfanatic1 it's like a player who learnt how to play with blades. If you switch them to game improvement irons for 6 months and then switch them back to blades they would have lost a ton of skill required to get good connection with the blades.
I just got a hold of my first armlock putter, the Odyssey 2-Ball Ten Armlock. I absolutely love it. I feel like I have so much more control of every aspect of my putting stroke now, compared to my Odyssey Sabertooth I had before, or just about any other putter I tested while looking. I haven't gotten it out enough to see exactly what difference it'll make, but I would bet it'll save 2-3 per round once I get it dialed in.
there are many other brands and types or armlock putters, midlock and even wrist lock, would be great to see a video comparing all the different types. I brought a evnroll midlock mallet putter and love it
Your videos are some of the best on TH-cam. You keep things interesting and enjoyable even when playing rounds. You and the guys together are a lot of fun to watch. Need so.e new ones of everyone together on the course.
An interesting video and ensuing concept for sure Mr. Finch. Personally, I agree with you on the anchoring ban. Now, I have yet to do the research myself to see if there ever really was a strong correlation between anchored putting and improved performance, so this is mostly based on my own impressions. Certainly on the PGA Tour though, the most prominent users of long, anchored putters prior to the ban weren't exactly known for the putting prowess. There have obviously been some pretty good players who used the anchoring style, but, even in the case of those who putted well while anchoring, it was not the core aspect of their game which made them such a good player in the first place. Bernhard Langer and Webb Simpson are fine examples. However, it would seem they were the exception and not the rule. Again though, this is just my take on the matter.
If price is a concern I'd go with the cobra. Same DLT face a good head design, and under 400 dollars. Odyssey also has their two ball 10 available as an arm lock which hits really nice. Or grab a used sik or bettinardi. Lot of people have experimented with the arm lock and moved on, I got my betti studio stock for 200 bucks.
Think he explained that poorly. It's the angle of the shaft to the head. It can't be a perfect 90 degrees. But if you want to put your 70 degree lie angle putter perpendicular to the ground, you can. It just means the heel of your putter will be higher off the ground than the toe. So... your stroke can be straight back and through, but the putter can't be built to match the 90° angle.
I just bought an Odyssey 2-ball armlock that was a little more than half the price of the Sik armlock and I love it. I use to do conventional but saw the armlock putter at a store near me and I had to try it especially since I’m a lefty and they never have left handed armlock putters. It’s definitely easier to putt with it inside 20 feet but I’m still trying to get use to the longer putts.
Couple of things Peter. Firstly, that last cut away of the video with you’re strange close up stare into camera, absolute lols you strange man 😂 Secondly, I’m noticing a trend- 1) bulk up, check. 2) get more distance, check. 3) armlock putter, check. 4) puma flat cap….?? Love your work 💪🏼
I say let them put,, But i was wondering if you could review the TOUR EDGE BAZOOKA 470 DRIVER, I hear its the next big thing, But just how durable is it?
I’ve been following your channel for a few months now. I’ve watched many of your reviews on clubs. I would like to see you do a review on the Calloway Strata complete set
Does that putter model have increased loft, because of the arm-lock design? I'm sure that the Bettinardi used by Matt Kuchar is designed with additional loft. Should've waited. I see that there is additional loft above the normal 3-4º. I think Kuchar's Bettinardi has 7º as well.
Necro post here, but I just picked up an arm lock. It helped me realize that I get SUPER wristy on long putts with a regular putter. I only really realized it when my long putts were coming up really short with the armlock, at first. I figured my distances out though. I'm an arm locker now
Armlock is anchoring without any doubt. It gives you three points of contact. Three points of contact makes for more stability. That is why the construction trades call for always having three points of contact for proper ladder safety. When you put with the hands only you have two points of contact.
that lifebelt attached to the tree in the first shot is a hell of a way from the pond , by the time you ran from the pond to ther tree and back again 5 people coulda drowned , how hard is it to concrete in a 3x3 post next to the waters edge
I experiment with club quite a bit. I may make an arm lock putter by shafting a head with an extra stiff iron shaft and then buying and installing the grip and getting the head bent so the loft and lie are correct. By the way, when I worked at PGA Tour Superstore Julie Inkster came in with a new arm lock putter to get it adjusted for looft and lie. I had her stand at address, measured the starting loft and lie and make an educated guess. I changed the loft and lie as a starting point. Usually it takes several bends and checks to get it just right. My first bend was perfect! It was dumb luck, but she was impressed. :-)
I would really like to try an armlock putter. I tried a few shops here but nobody has one in stock to try. Not going to just buy one and I can't get used to it. And i'm a bit concerned it will be banned once I bought one.
It'll be tricky to regulate it. They'll have to define the hand, wrist and forearm and come up with something that applies to everyone. Because they'll need to limit how far up the grip can go. Or do something like say the club can only be held with your hands and may not extend past the wrist? That should cover it, right? Xander just switched back, I assume that part was made before you knew? You def made this after the Bryson "my driver sucks" comment 🤣🤣 Pete, it's almost like you're being yourself even more lately. And the editing is a great blend of serious and fun.
A good distance control game is to use 3 balls and put a tee about 2 foot short of the fringe and then go back to the distance you want to practice and see how many of the 3 you can get past the tee but not touch the fringe
Thanks Pete! Good luck in your comps. I won’t be buying an armlock, tho I like the idea. Too expensive. Maybe I’ll just grip my current putter half way down the shaft. Great way to improve my flexibility!
I had a Nike mallet belly putter a few years back.. loved that putter. my buddies hated it so when the anchor rule went into effect, they wouldn't let me use it.. i got new buddies now
I wouldn’t mind trying the arm lock out , I do miss that LAB putter you used to use , for some reason I actually liked that just a bit pricey for me to buy though ,i don’t think it should be banned myself . It’s just a different style of putting it won’t suit everyone
I use the Kotahi ( undersized) grip Axis putter with the elbows not bent and arms hanging when putting but grip not locked to arm. It works for me. Making a lot more 15 to 20 ft putts and therefore more birdies 😉. No, I don’t think it should be banned because it is moving with arms and not anchored.
Bought an arm lock putter 1 month ago. Had it custom built (length and grip) with #7 style head. All for under US $100 (one hundred). Practicing with it indoors now during Winter. Come Spring we'll see if this new arrow can help the Indian play better or if the Indian's lack of skill minimizes the arrow's benefits.
No, i think the reason why belly, chest and chin anchored puttering was banned is because it allows a pure pendulum stroke utilising the full length of the putter. With armlock, the arm becomes part of the pendulum which introduces more of the human element in the stroke. Having said that, I use armlock as i feel that it is more consistent.
I've recently bought an armlock putter, a 41" Odessey 2-ball white hot to be precise. However, I don't use it in the armlock style. As I'm 6'3 with quite a major back problem, I actually use this with a standard putting stroke but much more upright. Before this putter, putting was definitely the weakest part of my game as I had a touch like a rampaging bull elephant. Now, putting is one of the strongest parts of my game with the biggest improvement being distance control. As far as them being banned, I'm with you in the sense that golf is hard enough so no, I don't think they should be
@@Jmattrhodes surely though if there on about banning locked arm putters then that style must come under review? It seems for every rule there's a way to loop hole it 😂
Yeah, loop holes always exist. But what I don't get is why everyone is using the term "anchor" and that armlocks are "anchored." It seems the governing bodies would have to get into a whole new type of ban, since armlocks, to me, are no more "anchored" than a regular putter, or any club, is anchored to your hand via the grip you take. If they banned armlocks, it seems the would need to ban square grips like the Fat Cat, or ban running two index fingers down the shaft. I really don't think they're interested in doing that. Besides, aside from Tour player's comments and social media, who is actually seriously talking about banning armlocks? Maybe I'm not as informed as I could be, but I don't really hear much from the powers that be about a possible ban.
@@Jmattrhodes your completely right, it's not like an arm lock style can instantly shave 5 to 10 shots off your round. It's what suits individual players, I like rham have a fairly short backswing, but it helps me to achieve a more consistent ball strike, it's not a picture perfect swing but it keeps my scores low so I guess u r would work the same on the greens, at the end of the day if it was a cheat the surely everyone would be doing it? I just think it's golf politics gone mad, I think if everyone played the same it would become dull, I'm not a fan of the arm lock cause it does not suit you style but I'm all for players doing whatever they can to be at the top of their game
It doesn't anchor to a point, (a pivot point that can't move.) It lies along the forearm, therefor any movement the forearm makes is translated down the shaft to the head. I'm gonna switch to side putting with a 50" putter called the GP Pro putter from RP Dionne. It's legal also and you should review his clubs. They're tricking awesome. " No they really are."
@@trent_assmussen now, now...don't try to embarrass him with the fact that Bryson is currently #6 WGR www.owgr.com/ranking and he's....Peter Finch. After all, that means something: he has no ethics and is glad to just get the attention
I don't see a problem with it Peter, unless the PGA is going to ban arm locking as well. I say that because I was shown a putting technique by a scratch player at our club with a normal putter. He has his hands in a downward praying position on either side of the handle instead of holding the conventional way. This creates arm lock on the forearm or wrist anyway. He was shown this trick by an American on tour. You would have to ban this hold as well. lol
I currently putt with an Odyssey O-Works 1W with a claw grip and I’m a decent putter of the ball. But I am desperate to try an armlock putter. I don’t think they should be banned, as you said Pete “the game is hard enough”. So I will certainly be looking at getting one just have to wait 20 years for companies realise us lefties like to play golf as well!!!
I use a standard SIK Pro with a steel shaft that was the same price as a standard Scotty, around $400. I think the LAGP shaft is about half of that $1000 quoted in the video. Steel shaft SIK putters don't cost nearly a thousand dollars. The SIK came built in the specs I gave them and the face had a much better than roll than anything else.

Hey Pete, can you explain 10:06 - 10:14 about straight back and through stroke not being allowed?
Think he explained that poorly. It's the angle of the shaft to the head. It can't be a perfect 90 degrees.
But if you want to put your 70 degree lie angle putter perpendicular to the ground, you can. It just means the heel of your putter will be higher off the ground than the toe.
So... your stroke can be straight back and through, but the putter can't be built to match the 90° angle.
So three months later are you still using it and are the improvements in strokes gained still there?
I just bought an Odyssey 2-ball armlock that was a little more than half the price of the Sik armlock and I love it. I use to do conventional but saw the armlock putter at a store near me and I had to try it especially since I’m a lefty and they never have left handed armlock putters. It’s definitely easier to putt with it inside 20 feet but I’m still trying to get use to the longer putts.
I'm with you, just got the same one and I love it!
Does SIK have a UK fitter? If so, would really enjoy watching a video of you going through the fitting process. Great video as always!
Couple of things Peter.
Firstly, that last cut away of the video with you’re strange close up stare into camera, absolute lols you strange man 😂
Secondly, I’m noticing a trend- 1) bulk up, check. 2) get more distance, check. 3) armlock putter, check. 4) puma flat cap….??
Love your work 💪🏼
I'd definitely give it go, just don't have a spare £800 for the Bryson spec! The benefit at high handicap level might be even more than at pro level.
What happened to the LAB?
You should try it with Bernhard Langer's putting grip. Where your left hand is lower and your right hand fingers are around your left forearm
What happened to the other putter u were using with the armlock grip
Great video. Watch how Bryson measures his pace control with a yard stick. He shows it and how he does it in his what's in my bag video. Might help
Doesn’t suck 🤣! That’s the drivers face Pete!

Yes! And I want to see you and Feherty together for nine holes of humor/golf.
Is it a standard option when buying a putter, if not , then it shouldn’t be allowed. I personally have never seen a putter for sale with that grip
How do you start your stroke? Even with the arm lock putting style, I caught myself wobbling etc in the backstroke.
Left shoulder push down works for me.
@@andreask9382 by doing that, is it a straight pendulum motion for you? I find me sometimes wobbling on the backstroke.
@@jasonraznick5487 yes, for me (!) that leads to a natural pendulum motion without the wobbling. YMMV.

Why wouldnt you try your claw grip with it?
It'll be tricky to regulate it. They'll have to define the hand, wrist and forearm and come up with something that applies to everyone. Because they'll need to limit how far up the grip can go.

A good distance control game is to use 3 balls and put a tee about 2 foot short of the fringe and then go back to the distance you want to practice and see how many of the 3 you can get past the tee but not touch the fringe

They arent really more expensive than non armlock versions. You can order arm lock versions of any putter just like broomstick back in the day

I armlock/wristlock my regular length putter anyway. It is not that hard to do.....and it helps
Just couldn't use it, but what about siem? How does he get away with a putter going to his chest?
He and Langer (and Harding) do not anchor it to their chest, they hover the pivot point hand away from their chest.
@@Jmattrhodes surely though if there on about banning locked arm putters then that style must come under review? It seems for every rule there's a way to loop hole it 😂
Yeah, loop holes always exist. But what I don't get is why everyone is using the term "anchor" and that armlocks are "anchored." It seems the governing bodies would have to get into a whole new type of ban, since armlocks, to me, are no more "anchored" than a regular putter, or any club, is anchored to your hand via the grip you take. If they banned armlocks, it seems the would need to ban square grips like the Fat Cat, or ban running two index fingers down the shaft. I really don't think they're interested in doing that. Besides, aside from Tour player's comments and social media, who is actually seriously talking about banning armlocks? Maybe I'm not as informed as I could be, but I don't really hear much from the powers that be about a possible ban.
@@Jmattrhodes your completely right, it's not like an arm lock style can instantly shave 5 to 10 shots off your round. It's what suits individual players, I like rham have a fairly short backswing, but it helps me to achieve a more consistent ball strike, it's not a picture perfect swing but it keeps my scores low so I guess u r would work the same on the greens, at the end of the day if it was a cheat the surely everyone would be doing it? I just think it's golf politics gone mad, I think if everyone played the same it would become dull, I'm not a fan of the arm lock cause it does not suit you style but I'm all for players doing whatever they can to be at the top of their game
It doesn't anchor to a point, (a pivot point that can't move.) It lies along the forearm, therefor any movement the forearm makes is translated down the shaft to the head. I'm gonna switch to side putting with a 50" putter called the GP Pro putter from RP Dionne. It's legal also and you should review his clubs. They're tricking awesome. " No they really are."
Does the putter give you an urge to whine about it not being as forgiving as it should be on your misses?
Only when I swing it 130mph
Not that u can ever reach 135mph club head speed on the course but if u did I guarantee u couldn’t hit it as straight as Bryson
@@trent_assmussen ? That's a joke, right?
@@trent_assmussen now, now...don't try to embarrass him with the fact that Bryson is currently #6 WGR www.owgr.com/ranking
and he's....Peter Finch.
After all, that means something: he has no ethics and is glad to just get the attention
@@touristguy87 I was talking to the guy who commented first not Peter. I love Peter
I don't see a problem with it Peter, unless the PGA is going to ban arm locking as well. I say that because I was shown a putting technique by a scratch player at our club with a normal putter. He has his hands in a downward praying position on either side of the handle instead of holding the conventional way. This creates arm lock on the forearm or wrist anyway. He was shown this trick by an American on tour. You would have to ban this hold as well. lol
Agreed!
I currently putt with an Odyssey O-Works 1W with a claw grip and I’m a decent putter of the ball. But I am desperate to try an armlock putter. I don’t think they should be banned, as you said Pete “the game is hard enough”. So I will certainly be looking at getting one just have to wait 20 years for companies realise us lefties like to play golf as well!!!
You can get a LH SIK Armlock.
@@Jmattrhodes 👍🏻 problem is the price tag 😱
I use a standard SIK Pro with a steel shaft that was the same price as a standard Scotty, around $400. I think the LAGP shaft is about half of that $1000 quoted in the video. Steel shaft SIK putters don't cost nearly a thousand dollars. The SIK came built in the specs I gave them and the face had a much better than roll than anything else.
Best of luck with the arm lock. I still think you should've stayed with Megamind! I think they make an arm lock version you might like!
Good luck - kick some ass!
