I used a Scotty Newport or variant for years, and I broke hearts right and left with that blade style.

A few years ago I realized I just wasn’t making as many putts as I used to. I started experimenting with center shafted putters. I went through 4 different ones, but could never feel the distance; I left putts woefully short or pathetically long. But I became pretty automatic from 5 feet and in.

When the new Fastback OC came out late last year, I grabbed one immediately. I needed to change out the weights, from 2 10s to 15 in the rear, 20 in the front. Finally, the legendary Scotty feel in a low torque putter! My handicap has dropped over 3 points since January. I honestly feel like I can make everything with this putter; that’s how confident I’ve become.

Anyone else out there feel the same?
