I played Iroquois GC today for round 60 this year. I shot a 43 - 38 = 81. Our team won, so I got back $6. I tried a different putter on the front nine. I liked the feel, and it had a little more weight behind the face, and that's why I tried it out. I'd been putting pretty good with my other putter, but I thought I'd give it a try. Well, there was one problem that it took me 8 holes to figure out. Several times on a putt I 'scuffed' the ground, which drastically changes the speed you want to hit the putt. After nine I went by the car to change putters and looked at the bottom of each. The one I usually use is on the left, and has a perfectly flat edge across the bottom. The one on the right is slightly rounded, not much, but enough to cause me to 'scuff' the ground every so often. I really liked the 'feel' of the putter on the right, but that rounded bottom caused me problems. So, I won't be using it. I found that interesting. I would never have thought that little bit of rounded edge would cause a problem. It was more of a problem when putting from the fringe.

You can always grind down the bottom of the putter if you like the feel. Or, if it's just the weight, try some lead tape.
