So I'm looking to get a new putter for push putts, mostly for under 25ft or so. I know I want very rigid but couldn't find any information on weight or profile.
I was wondering what weight people tend to like on the their putters for which styles and putts and why? There's the obvious heavier discs being less effected by wind and can push through air resistance better which generally makes sense and would favor heavy, but then they also require more force for same velocity, which is relevant for push putts I would think.
There seems be a VERY strong consensus for ridged on push putting for better energy transfer and consist 'hit' while spin putting is mostly by what you feel comfortable with and have control with.
And a high profile makes sense for spin putts and getting more stability and control with the spin, but not quite the same for push putts that are desperate for velocity, have very little spin, and thus can be easily pushed around by catching air on just the profile even when thrown well.
Also I read discs can be 40cm in diameter, god that's huge, have you ever heard someone preferring a larger putter, maybe on no wind putts and to ensure they bang chains or something, lol idk.
I'm thinking for push putts 21cm and bit lighter might be a bit better to get velocity with just your fingers and shoulder push, but maybe a bit heavier for push putts with bothersome wind. I've actually found I prefer my midrage buzz to my soft putter on push putts.
