Have you just tried practicing? Sometimes practicing putting works. For instance, I've practiced getting out of sand traps, and now I'm really good at hitting the ball out of the sand. I actually prefer it to hitting it off of grass.

Jon, what is the meaning of the pic in your signature?
 
Holy Moly, that must have set you back a few cigar boxes! Good luck with your putting, been working on my short game too. trying to break into low 90s. Putting is holding me back.

I was never a "great" putter but in the last 5-7 years my putting has become really bad. I talked to the friend who helps me with my swing as my back problems come and go, and asked if he could recommend a putting coach and he said "buy this putter first and see what happens from there." My problem has always been wrist movement and a bad forward press. I putted with the DF3 for a while and it's actually hard to take off-line. I bought it right then and there but I got it at a good enough price that even if it doesn't "fix" me, I won't lose money on it.
 
Those are really nice putters! One of the guys I play with on a regular basis has one, I've used it a few times and it rolls really nice. I just have a hard time looking at the starship enterprise while putting!

I'm actually going to be purchasing a new low torque putter in the next few weeks. I've been looking at the OZ.1 & The Scotty Studio OC.

It's funny how the supposed technology cycles. I remember when the "ZAAP" putter came out, and I bought it. It was balanced so if you laid the shaft on your finger and spun it, the head was perfectly balanced to the shaft. A few years later, that putter was denounced as junk because the "balance" made it easy for you to open and close the face during the stroke. The zero or low torque is essentially the same thing but they have figured out that wide spread perimeter weights create a gyroscopic effect making it difficult to "wobble" the putter during the stroke.

When I played competitively, I had my clubs custom made by Titleist every few years and I became friends with some of the guys at Titleist. I will never forget when Fletcher Pavin (Corey Pavin's brother) told me that Titlesit already knew the exact driver they would introduce five years from now, they had all the technology figured out but they would only add a tiny upgrade each year rather than bring out a new driver with everything. He joked that if they put everything into a new driver next year, what would they have left to get us idiots to buy a new $500 driver every year. 😁
