Launch of putt comparison filmed at 1200 FPS 1.8* static loft vs 4.5* static loft

These two videos demonstrate the importance of correct loft of putter at impact to create the best launch conditions of a putt. Research done with SAM PuttLab and Casio EX-F1. Most players use a putter with way too much loft thus struggle with distance control. Yes, speed of green, grass type and other variables do come into play. Most golfer's dynamic loft (actual loft at impact) is too high. Both putts were made with the same Scotty Cameron Newport 2 (lofts were adjusted in between putts)on a 10 foot stimp green flat putt. The putt was 15 feet. The first putt the static loft was 1.8* with the dynamic loft at 1.4*. The second putt static loft was 4.5* with the dynamic loft at 4.1*. You can see how the 2.7* increase in static loft created a high launch, backspin and a lot of skid compared to good launch minimal skid and forward lean of the ball.

you = big break TJ Valentine?

[TJValentineGolf]

Yes, I am. Seems like such a long time ago. To answer the previous post as well it was filmed with a Casio Exilim Pro ex-f1 shot at 1200 fps. I use the 300 fps with full shot full swing and 1200 fps impact shots.

How does it not make sense, the quicker the spin the more control and straighter the line

[Jonsskillfulmove]

this makes no sense, but mice slo-mo.

Very interesting video. This may answer the question why I struggle with distance control. Would changing putters make sense? What camera did you use to film that?
