Putting with a Roc.... or something else
I have used a Lightning Upshot 167 grams for a while now but as my distance has improved It feels a little too floppy and feels as if it will not be good for putts over 25 feet. I have been using a Roc for mid range and approach and have found that I have similar success with the Upshot and the Roc under 20 feet but feel more comfortable with the Roc between 15 to 25 feet. I also have had similar results as the Roc with a 170 gram shark and a 180 gram shark. I have tried 146 and 149 gram shark but both seem to be effected by the wind too much for my liking. I also tried a Birdie. It was straight but seems to float in the air too much.
It seems that I need a straight, wind resistant putter that will grab the chains and not go far if I miss the basket. I also know that the Roc is not used by anyone I have ever seen as a putter so I am looking for suggestions. I have also noticed the Roc has more turn than the Upshot over 25 feet. I know the common answer would be to "use what feels best" but I have not tried every disk to know what should be on my short list to actually try. I want the straightness of the upshot but the feel of the rock. I would also like the other advantages that come with a typical putter.
Should I,
1) use the Roc. (it is not typical but could be a good putter)
2) Use one of your heavy sharks. (They are close to a Roc but will act more like what you want.)
2) use the Upshot. (it will grab the chains and provide the typical advantages of a putter.)
3) Use "fill in the blank" (it will prove the best of all worlds)
I have looked into the Classic Roc, variations of the Challenger, Magnet, Putt'r, and Aviar online but have no way to know what would be best for me.
