No feel for putts?
Answer: Switching from a blade putter to a heel toe weighted putter is like switching from forged irons to cavity back irons. It will help your putting but will take some getting used to. A heel toe weighted putter is designed to allow for miss hits. Your stroke doesn't need to be as precise. Another advantage of the heel toe weighted putter is that it is easier to align. They are marked with a line (or several) to aid you. Blade putters do not have this option.Putters come in all shapes and sizes. Make sure you find a putter that is a comfortable length and is the proper lie angle (your eyes should be over the ball and the putter sole flat). The amount of offset on a putter will determine how well you are able to align the face. Try different models out to find out which is right for you.
