I have yet to find any relation to putter softness and "chain grabbing ability". Has there been any legitimate testing that supports the idea that soft putters stick to chains better than other plastics, or is it all a bunch of putter mojo crap?
Seems that such a small surface area comes into contact with the chains for such a short amount of time that the grippiness of a disc would have no effect.
It also seems that, if this small amount of time allowed for a substantial amount of energy to be transferred, that the tackier disc would be more likely to spit out to the left or right because of its rotation than a harder disc (which would be more likely to continue forwards into the chains).
