The Fat Guy Golf – Odyssey Putter Review
My new putter! You guys have been asking me to get a mallet putter so here it is. Bought this at Play it Again Sports for $50. Refused to spend $200 on a putter when I'm a bad golfer. Maybe if I could fix my stroke it would be worth it.

You’re standing farther from the ball on some putts than you are on others. I noticed it bc sometimes your putter isn’t sitting flat on the green. The heel of the putter is resting on the green and the toe is way up in the air. Maybe try resting the putter on the green before taking your grip?
Greens are slow because they were rolled not cut
And yes your hitting all your putts on the toe
Spend the MOST money on the putter and a proper fitting, you hit it more than any other club
THIS GUY IS SOOOO FAT LOL
I used to be a teaching pro assistant. Something I notice, mind you this is just fundamental stuff, you stroke way to fast. Relax a little, also I can easily tell from these videos you always pick up your head to early on. What I mean by this is that when you make a putting stroke the first thing you do after you hit is watch the ball with your eyes, because of this your hands try to keep up with your eyes and it results in pulled strokes which you had several.
Literally keep your head down, watch Justin Thomas putt. He does not even move his head for the first three seconds after a putt, it keeps everything stable. I find also a confidence boost, why watch the ball roll if I know I have it lined up perfectly.
Looks like you try to steer your puts, get a super stroke grip, do the gate drill and try the pop stroke and try different ball positions, I have to play mine close to my front foot
GET A SUPERSTROKE GRIP! you'll have a much softer feel
You’re putting spin on all your putts. Outside in pushing it and then adding spin like crazy. It’s no surprise you’re missing all these putts
My daughter (13) is just now taking up golf, and we watch your channel together. I like how you describe each shot, good and bad, on every hole. It helps her better understand the process of golf. Also, she thinks you're hilarious.
When we going to play, lets do Eagle Creek in Norwalk
Tighten up ur arms stand closer and don’t take the putter back as far so the face stays straight so u can sink some birdie putts.
I think your eyes are too close to your body. You're head needs to be right over top of the ball.This is why I think you are putting off the toe. I'm 6'3" and shortened my putter to 33" to get my eyes on top of the ball. Love your videos. You are so brave.
Yes! I have that exact putter and it helps so much. Good pick
Alignment sticks.
A drill that would help you hit in the center would be to put tees on either side of your putter and practice putting without hitting either of the tees. If the heel of your putter hits the tee closer to you then the ball will come of the toe.
Gates drill
just tey to keep the puttwr flat keep the stroke nice and smooth
Try a hockey stick. Could be your lucky charm!
You’re putting with your hands and wrist instead of your shoulders. Don’t bend your wrist.
YOU NEED TO CUT A HALF INCH OFF YOUR PUTTER, you'll feel like you went from wearing handcuffs to being free (more room down there)
You should also get a bigger grip like a superstroke one. I did and it really helped me with my consistency and helped me keep the putter stable through the stroke.
Have the bad boy bent more flat. Inconsistent setup to ball sometime you have the toe way up others it’s more flat. It’ll be tough to be consistent with that much difference
Hit the ball harder if your leaving them short
Change nothing but lining up with the ball on the heel of your putter… its your swing stroke thats making you toe it…
Enjoying the channel. Keep up the good work.
I started spreading my legs wider when i stand over the ball. Its helping me hit my spot more constantly on the greens
When you address the ball, make sure to use your hands to keep the toe down. Your best putts came when the putter was sitting as it should. The biggest thing…practice. Make it a priority to spend time practicing your putting. It seems as if you are playing a lot of rounds. The best way to drop scores or get better in any one area is to spend time at the range or putting green. There is no substitute for repetitions. Maybe try substituting 1 round per week for a practice session? The gate drill would be perfect to help with your off center hits. Place two tees down, slightly wider than the width of the putter and hit putts through the gate.
