Thank Goodness!! It's about the only club I'm hitting well right now! The CB5 with the Apollo long shaft and Karma 2-piece grip make for a great long putter with very low cost. Note: I MUCH prefer the Karma 2-piece grip to the Winn 2-piece grip (for a fraction of the price). Jeff pointed me toward the CB5 for a long putter a couple of months ago. Thank Goodness!!

Much like a basketball player looking at the hoop when shooting free throws, by focusing on the hole your brain will give your muscles the "feel" as to how hard to hit the putt. And since most putts are missed long or short (mostly short), your eyesight will provide the necessary information to the brain which will in turn transmit to the muscles. Second, as soon as the putter is behind the ball, hit it. Don't stand and think about what you're doing...rely on your instincts. Finally, the putting grip should be relaxed (soft hands). My 2 cents worth. Jeff: Suggest you try looking at the hole instead of the ball when making your putting stroke.

You are supposed to practice your stroke and alignment in the office on company time! Then when you leave, you only have to spend 90 seconds on the practice green. Shesh Jeff, where are your priorities? Jeff, what kind of golf industry worker are you!?! You are supposed to practice your stroke and alignment in the office on company time!

But you will need to use the broomstick hosel adapter (code H001) and the Apollo 53" putter shaft in order to get the right lie angle and fit. P.L.,

Thanks P.L. And, yes, your story rings a bell regarding rushing to the first tee after a quick half bucket of balls, and then having that foreign object in my hands on the first green..........and having the touch of a blacksmith for the first few holes.
