You know what?
Data be damned (I say that lovingly).
I recently wrote about how we should never tell anyone how to enjoy the game of golf.
Well, I decided I want to go back to playing a blade putter. Yes, my L.A.B. Mezz.1 Max definitely made me a better putter (you can ask my scramble partners). But sometimes I like to switch it up for the sake of switching it up. And having a cool putter to switch to sure helps.
I recently put a new Powerbilt putter in the bag, a slick blade that was designed by Weston Maughaun, who just happens to live a few miles up the road from where I grew up in Utah.
jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
var slides = $( ‘#mgs_gallery_698a485ad6196 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image’ ).length;
if ( slides 6 ) {
slides = 6;
}
$( ‘#mgs_gallery_698a485ad6196 .mgs-gallery-images’ ).slick( {
slidesToShow: 1,
slidesToScroll: 1,
fade: true,
prevArrow: ‘‘,
nextArrow: ‘‘,
asNavFor: ‘#mgs_gallery_698a485ad6196 .mgs-gallery-thumbs’,
swipe: false,
mobileFirst: true,
} );
$( ‘#mgs_gallery_698a485ad6196 .mgs-gallery-thumbs’ ).slick( {
slidesToShow: ( slides – 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix)
slidesToScroll: 1,
arrows: false,
asNavFor: ‘#mgs_gallery_698a485ad6196 .mgs-gallery-images’,
centerMode: true,
focusOnSelect: true,
infinite: true,
mobileFirst: true,
responsive: [
{
breakpoint: 1023,
settings: {
slidesToShow: 3,
},
}, {
breakpoint: 600,
settings: {
slidesToShow: 1,
},
},
],
} );
$( ‘#mgs_gallery_698a485ad6196’ ).magnificPopup( {
delegate: ‘.mgs-gallery-trigger’,
type: ‘image’,
gallery: {
enabled: true,
arrowMarkup: ‘‘,
},
} );
} );
Honestly, this thing rolls the rock beautifully.
It feels great off the face. It looks really sleek. The orange leather grip is buttery.
It’s everything I want in a putter (other than making me a better putter).
And that’s OK. Because no one can tell me how to enjoy golf (see above).
So if I want to play a putter that isn’t designed to save me strokes? That’s my prerogative. You don’t have to agree with it. Or do it yourself.
But you can at least respect playing a piece of gear simply because you think it’s darn cool.
And I think this Powerbilt putter is cool.
