Has anyone tried the Axis 1 putter? The concept of this putter being perfectly balanced in 3 dimensions (the putter head doesn't fall to the right when held at the bottom when placed on the ground) implies it would be a great putter for a SBST stroke.

I was wondering if you were talking about this crazy looking thing...  and after a quick google, I see you are. Isn't there something about finding a putter that appeals to you at set-up? I would think that this thing would take quite a while to get used to. |

If it gets the ball in the hole, go for it.
I tried side-saddle putting for an entire summer... Now I live in a big glass house.

Haven't tried it. Makes some sense. The issue is that if you can't aim it well, then not opening the face won't exactly help.

... and the truth is, there is no TRUE SBST swinging motion. I use a center shafted/face balanced putter to MINIMIZE the need for an arc motion.... but it's still there. If you want to swing exactly SBST you need to either be right on top of the ball with the shaft at a 90* angle to the ground, or you need to do some super manipulation of the clubhead.
My putter FEELS SBST, but watching these videos it certainly isn't.
Just something to keep in mind.

Cloran,
I agree with that, there is no true SBST arc, even with that stoke there is some arc.
I used the wood Putting Arc the other day and I was really surprised how off plane a motion I was making, on the backstroke it was pretty good but I took did not realize how far left the through stroke was needs to go to maintain the same plane back and through.

Just use the "Inside-Down the Line" training aid... you'll be perfect!

Just use the "Inside-Down the Line" training aid... you'll be perfect! they had a bunch of those to work with and I picked the Arc, will try that one next. |

I tried to find a negative review of the Axis 1... I couldn't.
