Re: Do the Young Guns Need the Belly Putter?

I agree with you in concept. I wonder why the group on your list and others like (DL III and Tom Lehman) do not at least try different putting methods. I know Lehman finally went to a longer putter in recent years, but this group of young players should be focusing 150% of their practice time on the one area that has held them back. Clearly, Garcia's short game around the greens is not the problem, but his putter is. I would expect to see the young guns at least try alternative approaches and equipment. The Hamy, DiMarco's grip, Langer's grip, others, but yet they simply stay the same. I give Vijay a lot of credit for at least trying other methods.

It is surprising to me, but how many athletes in other sports really change their main approach to pitching as an example.
