The Secret behind Brian Harman’s Putter

[@eastcoastuk1120]

there will be millions of these putters sold world wide now.. I was so pleased to see how this guy held up under that pressure and he did it with style and HIS PUTTER.. Thumb up for him and you..

[@ClassicGolfClubs]

Good explanation Steve. An Anser style is not a blade though, it's a cavity back or perimeter weighted putter.

[@gordonrennie300]

Steve, you are correct the putter dimensions from toe to heel must be greater than the dimension of the face to back. All the best from Dead Aim. 👍

[@primafacie6442]

I have a 2.1 and have just moved into a Mezz. Brilliant putters.

[@WesTurner]

I'm with you Steve. I bought the same putter as you LAB Df 2.1and people comment on it allot. Guy called it a branding iron the other day but when I never 3 putted all round he then asked to try it out on the putting green afterwards! I love that putter.

[@madodaxaba7613]

I still use my trusted Ping answer blade, I tried a mallet and it does fit my eye

[@mikerodrick2430]

I bought a PING Heppler putter, mallet, last year & I've never seen a putter that's so easy to get aligned. The alignment markings are amazing. There's a row of dots on both sides of the top that look like runway lights front to back. If you can't get this thing lined up, you shouldn't be putting at all.

Hi Steve, It was nice to see your smiling face in the grandstand

[@amac8487]

Cool way to illustrate this concept!

[@mikefixac]

Brian did say after the tournament was over that he used the mirror putting aid and that's what brought his dynamic putting.

[@miker5502]

Zero balance putter face technology is not a new idea..15 years ago I bought a Tommy Armour ZAAP Beta “blade” putter, which now can be had for about 20 to 30 dollars on EBAY, with this same technology, however it probably doesn’t have as much ' Center of mass as the LAB mallet, however is definitely does not have any torque bias,it is insanely well balanced . Very nice looking and feeling putter that strokes the ball pure. Cheers from Nova Scotia. MikeR.

[@bga9388]

Nice explanation Steve. LAB 2.1 is technically far more advanced than the Spider OS CB. Since the shaft is located very close to the center of mass the stability of the head is supported to be more in line with the stroke. That helps path and face. Brian Harman does not care- he has his marriage concealed for over 7 years and that relationship is not to be disturbed soon, I guess :-)

Is this what you want? R&A - The Equipment Rules Conformance of Clubs - Putters and USGA - 4. Clubhead b. Dimensions, Volume and Moment of Inertia iii. Putters When the clubhead is in its normal address position, the dimensions of the head must be such that: • the distance from the heel to the toe is greater than the distance from the face to the back; • the distance from the heel to the toe of the head is less than or equal to 7 inches (177.8 mm); • the distance from the heel to the toe of the face is greater than or equal to two thirds of the distance from the face to the back of the head; ...

Did i spot you on the grandstand on 18?

[@MTerrance]

What is your opinion of center-shafted putters? I have ended up preferring them and it feels as though they hold the line better. Just wondering.

[@mikerodrick2430]

Do you not have to use a straight back straight through stroke with a center shaft? Not with an arc stroke.

[@MTerrance]

@@mikerodrick2430 No really. The only real difference is on off-center strikes because the putter face twists much less.

[@mikerodrick2430]

@@MTerrance After that explanation, it definitely makes sense that it would work that way.

[@tjvbham5831]

I switched about two years ago to a center shafted, face balanced Odyssey two ball. IMO, finding the line and judging the distance control became so much easier. Interesting analysis of Harman's win, Steve.

[@Graemedargo]

Interesting analysis and well done. Your putter could also be used to bash that bloody green keeper.

[@johnz.591]

Rory also needed a Spyder putter at the Open and had shown lousy putting compared to his other statistical scores. It's the player, not the equipment, my first pro used to say, LOL😂

[@richardr7434]

Rory simply did not read the greens. He got away with it at the Scottish Open but got found out at Hoylake.

[@bazanexpress100]

I have always wanted to own a blade putter just for the looks. I know better not to buy one now. Excellent explanation.

[@brasspipe7075]

Steve are you wearing a Rolex GMT ?

[@amac8487]

Sure looks like it

[@jamesstewart8323]

Not so sure about this video . Many pros don’t use a blade etc because of looks. Higher MOI has disadvantages e.g better roll comes from having weight nearer face and not further back . If large mallets were best everyone would use them.

[@mikerodrick2430]

His putter looks like it should be with garden tools.

[@cgmat7804]

As usual it's not the bow its the Indian...

[@mikerodrick2430]

He's been using this putter for a long time & I believe this is his 2nd win on tour. It's certainly not the putter that won it for him.
