If the distance debate needed any more mixed messaging, the fact that the U.S. Open driving distance record was obliterated last week while only three players finished under par, should have both sides scratching their collective heads. from GolfDigest

There’s always been an active debate about which piece of golf equipment might be the least fit in the game. Balls, putters and wedges used to get a lot of call, so, too, shoes, but those segments have seen significant shifts toward fitting in recent years. But there remains one category that is rarely if ever fit or properly diagnosed at all. And it can be argued that it might be the most important, confusing and oversaturated category in the game.

Soft is a defining characteristic of putters, at least when it comes to how golfers perceive them. How do we know this? When we asked our players at the Hot List Summit for their comments on the best new blade putters, the word “soft” appears 273 times. For perspective, that’s more often than they used the word “roll.”

When you think about mallet putters, odds are your first thoughts lean toward more industrial terms like stability and alignment and even ball speed normalization. OK, maybe that last one is just us golf tech nerds, but what we can surely surmise is that squishy things like feel and softness are lower on the ladder of importance when you’re trying to breathe life into your dying game on the greens. If I can get something to drop my number of putts per round into the low 30s, I don’t care what it looks like, let alone what it feels like.

Many wondered how L.A.B. Golf, the hot putter brand that made zero-torque putters the most intriguing sub-category in the game, might change with its private equity acquisition last year. from GolfDigest
