Show Notes:
Welcome back Bruce Rearick from Burnt Edges Consulting in Indianapolis, Indiana!
- Bruce shares some of the interesting things he has been doing since our last interview (about 2 years ago). Including a “deep-dive” looking back at all of his putter fitting data.
- A friend recently shared that “my putter preferably needs to be a Plumbers Neck.” Bruce starts out discussion about how in general putter hosel designs are important in putting performance – beyond “looking good” to the golfer’s eye.
- He first shares some background about Plumbers Neck Hosels – how they can influence putting performance – and the design differences between Long and Short Plumbers Neck Hosels.
- What about Center Shafted Putters? – Bruce shares when this style of “hosel” can help golfers improve their putting.
- Short and Long Slant Neck Putter Hosels – he shares what differentiates these from other hosel designs from a putting performance and visual standpoint.
- Short and Long Flow Neck Hosels – Bruce loves the look of these (a personal thing!), and also shares when these can be a good option for golfers.
- Single and Double Bend Putter Shafts – he shares how these are used to create different putting performance characteristics.
- Finally, Bruce shares some Final Words and Thoughts for golfers who want to “Burn Less Edges” when they are putting!
