Can you list some considerations that go into choosing a putter?You took that massively out of context and incorrectly.
What I was just saying has absolutely nothing to do with changing putters at 30 feet, but all about choosing a putter from the start.
I'm talking about choosing the wrong putter and staying with it when there are probably better options all together.
Obviously hand feel is on that list and that is because a certain grip (and the finger spring that goes with it) works better with deep/shallow putters as the fingers have different loads depending on the deepness of a putter.
Telling from your comments stability goes into it. Spin putters usually like an overstable putter like a P2 and most pros go with fairly OS putters like a KC Aviar. However I dont really get exactly why they would prefer OS putters. If you putt straight at the basket it should not fade out, therefore you need to put a lot of power on OS putters which would make them sail far away. Also landing at an angle makes rollaways worse. So I dont really get why OS putters are better for that kind of putting style.
Putts that dont generate a lot of power require putters with more glide like a Dagger. For me that would be push putts or short arm putts like Calvin Heimburg is using. However Calvin also uses an OS putter in the KC Aviar when I would expect someone with that style to go for a Whale. At least Wysocki is using a Dagger as expected from someone with a push/spush putt.
One other thing in defense of just using the putter you feel comfortable with is the finger spring. For me this mechanic is really fickle and I struggle with the putter coming out nose down and general inconsistency in the nose angle. Just using an Aviar all the time makes it easier on my fingers on learning the motion of the finger spring. Changing putters to find a best one would require me to learn the finger spring over and over again with different shapes and different loads on my fingers. And how would I know I found a nice one?
