Armlock Putter Review | Almost Like Cheating??

[@jakebudge9593]

Great in-depth review! Loved hearing the two contrasting experiences with this style of putter. Also the technical info was super interesting to understand the approach behind it.

[@GolfAscending]

Thanks Jake! We appreciate the feedback!

[@eckathewrecka]

At last some real info on Arm Lock putters, well done guys you had my complete attention :)

[@GolfAscending]

Great! And thank you!

[@tacomandood7371]

Nice video, guys. Interesting facts about the adjustments needed for weight, loft, etc. and it almost seems like too much effort to get a proper putter. I’m nowhere near good enough for that to matter to me, but I could see why tour pros would switch to try and get any advantage they can

[@GolfAscending]

If you bought a putter designed for arm lock you could get away with using it without any adjustments. The putters Brady and I used were created from a normal putter so more had to go into adjustments.

[@Gwillis7]

You all should do a video at Tyson’s garage so we can see how he is making putters, would be interesting

[@GolfAscending]

It's such a mess right now lol! The main tools I have are a Loft/Lie machine, gripping station with clamp and tray, Air compressor, blasting cabinet, miter saw, and a bench vise. Maybe when/if I get it cleaned up we can show a walkthrough 😂

[@ShawnyBGolf]

Great video guys! I really need to practice this more and see how much it could help me too. Also really enjoy the view of that course. Very jealous! Also thanks for the sub!!! REALLY appreciate it.

[@GolfAscending]

Thank you thank you! We were able to do a golf content retreat in Southern Utah and pumped out tons of content! The courses there are next level for sure! And, no problem on the sub, maybe we can collab sometime!?

[@ShawnyBGolf]

@@GolfAscending that’s awesome and smart call gathering as much as you could there!!! Looks absolutely stunning and bring me envy haha. Oh my gosh yes!!! I’m totally down! Even if it’s like ‘virtual’ one I’d be over the moon to.

So is that what Jack Nicklaus was doing when he putted in the 60s all hunched over? Was he locking his arm with a normal putter?

[@GolfAscending]

No, Jack was using a different method, most likely trying to lock his arm a different way.

[@Eqnotalent]

Is this better than broomstick?

[@GolfAscending]

We haven’t don’t in depth testing on the broomstick, other than in a store, but we really like the armlock and wrist lock methods. Brady is currently playing a reverse armlock, which is his favorite putter setup so far. Tyson is playing wrist lock with one of his putters. We have a video on the reverse armlock, if you’re interested, reviewing the Pinhawk.

[@scottwarner1017]

I'd ban it, it's just as bad as locking a long putter into your chest which has been ban.

[@GolfAscending]

Have you tried it? For me after trying it, I found it isn't for everyone...I'd much rather putt conventional ways. Similar situation happened with Xander Schauffele...called it out for being cheating, said if I can't beat em join em...and then switched back because it made his putting worse. It's an interesting topic for sure!

[@patricktraynor7628]

I’d say 95% of golfers play recreational golf. Leave us the Fuck alone

[@GolfAscending]

👍

[@apzimm87]

Armlock putters should not be allowed in competitive play.

[@GolfAscending]

Why?

[@180holechallenge8]

Why

[@brentdowell7433]

Everyone has access to them and if you suck with wristy putting it helps. Why should it be banned

[@brentdowell7433]

Plus if armlock gets banned I’m just going to wrist lock
