Keegan Bradley: 'I'm being called a cheater more than ever'

[Gaijin_Golfer]

At the shop. Put yourself on the 18th green if a major with make it take it pressure.

Also, let me ask this. If it makes putting so easy, why aren't all pros using the broomstick?

All the more reason why anchoring shouldnt be allowed. It takes the nerves out of the stroke. Maybe, much like myself, the pros who dont use one simply dont like it. I didnt like putting with my left hand on my chest or with the end of the grip poking me in the stomach.
Look at Adam Scott, the long putter essentially resurrected his career.

Pride and respect for the game.

Maybe. Or there isn't a significant difference.

And the belly putter resurrected Sergio's for awhile.

You can make the case it's more of a mental crutch than anything.

Oh no, not the anchoring debate... again. My stance, it is different not necessarily easier. For some it may be akward as hell. I see guys miss putts all the time with them. Anyways, I wont use one because I think they are silly. I guess i'm for the ban although i'll still argue that it's not necessarily any easier.

I think the guys on tour whining about it are probably good enough to win without them and knowing it's coming they should just suck it up and change now. KB needs to block it out. Gotta be a rock under pressure. Then he needs to get a real putter and go win so he can tell the haters to suck it.

Again, if its so much easier why are short putters even in the market?

Big headed drivers make driving easier, now we consider a small head 400cc's. you can't buy a new driver with a small head.

If that were the case with long putters, everyone would own one.

Now, I do t use one because it feels goofy. I could care less what you play with.

Jim, couldn't agree more. This so called debate disgusts me. There is absolutely no evidence that anchored putting provides an advantage. Plenty of opinion but no evidence. Stand by, I'm about to go on a crazy ban crusade against ProV1 balls because of the amount of tourneys being won with them.

Stay away from my balls, man.

You should focus on the cheaters that use gloves. If I choose to have calluses, then everyone should be forced to have them!!!

I think if the USGA wanted to do something to alter the game, a rollback (no pun intended) of the ball would be the way to do it.

 

[BigJim13]

Another thing I would like to see is this. If the game is so much easier today, what is the average handicap? PGA Tour scoring average?

I wood be willing to bet it hasn't changed much if at all.

Thru 15 holes today:
Strokes Gained - Putting 0.085
Putting Average 1.900

Rankings for 2013:
Putting from Inside 5' - 70th
Putting from 5-10' - 94th
Putting from - 10-15' - 128th
Putting from - 15-20' - 65th
Putting from - 20-25' - 56th
Putting from - > 25' - 66th
Putting from 5-15' - 124th
Putting from 15-25' - 69th
Putting from 3-5' - 74th


Obviously an advantage.

I wish I had a nickel for every time someone said that. Just imagine the shit I could ho with that money.

New set of irons?

Seriously though everything changed drastically with the Pro V1.
