It has arrived. We’re going to take this on the course today. But first, how did we even get here? Are you using the wrong putter? Are you set up for something that doesn’t fit your stroke, your eye, your whatever it is, we’re going to find out. and then we’re going to go through the fine-tuned fitting system to see if it equals or matches what I currently use. Um either way, we’re going to learn a lot about putting putters and what’s right for each and every person. We’re at Maderas Golf Club. This is awesome, too. They let us film here. Special shout out to Maderas. I’ll leave a link in the video description below along with Finetune. If you come to San Diego, I have a code for you. Book your tea time here. You get $25 off Monday through Friday tea times with the code in the video description. So, if you got a foresome, that’s a h 100red bucks off for the group. You’re welcome. All right. Now, let’s make some putts when you’re here. Um, so Matt, what we’re going to do, um, just to start off with, uh, initial assessment, we’re basically going to line you up around the hole. Do like a clock drill. Okay. So, all I want you doing in this process, basically, put the ball down, line it up, read the putt, tell me where you think um the putt should be going. Okay? I’m going to be taking a series of videos, um some photos, putting some static and dynamic measurements into our app, and uh that’ll help us with the recommendation. Fantastic. Okay. Okay. I know very little about fine-tuned other than what I’ve heard is like 99% of the people who get fit or go through this buy the putter or like a high percentage. It’s up there. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, this is this is quite a unique process in the way that what you end up with is this is a putter that’s completely made for you. So, right from the time that this this fitting concludes, it’s looking at all of the components will be produced for you, knowing that it’s it’s matched up to your eyes, the way that you see the line, what happens in the stroke, and then produces the particular result. So, let’s start with this one here. Um, so yeah, I like I like a 10ft putt. Nice easy maths for me. So, um, good thing at 10 feet, if you’ve basically got one degree of a bias, it’s left edge or right edge. Okay? Two degrees of bias, half cup outside. Okay. All right. So, do what I do. Absolutely. Is what you’re saying. Yeah. Read the putt for me. Call it out. So, you’re going, “Well, this one here, I see.” Okay. Three cups left to right. We’ll have a look. Um, whatever you’re seeing, call that out to me. Line up to it. Okay. And we’ll assess you based on that. I see left to right for sure. And I think I’m going to aim around here. So, great. Yep. Right. Right around there. And I kind of like to line the ball up a little. Perfect. Downhill, left to right. Okay. All righty. Come again onto this one. Yeah, you bet. It’s pretty standard procedure for me right there. Do you notice a pattern at all um with this guy? You tend to miss putts more left or more right. Speed control. What’s What would you like to improve with this? So, a lot of times I hit on the toe. This has been consistent my whole putter career over the last maybe five, six years. Okay. Um, typically I aim left, which has been kind of something I I’ve discovered through different fittings. So, uh, and this is kind of the first time I’ve used, let’s say, the zero torque. I guess I was looking for more forgiveness off those toe hits. So, but nothing drives me more nuts when I hit it off the toe all the time. So, this I would say is uh just left edge. That’s normal cuz I thought I hit it pretty good. So, this I’m going pretty straight. Maybe inside right. Cool. I read it close, but I started it way wrong. All right. This will be right edge. Right edge. All right. So, what I want to do somewhere around here, you’re pretty close to feeling a uh a dead straight putt. Okay. So, just put yourself on the four line. One that you want to treat nice and straight for me. Okay. So, you can move the ball left or right, whichever way you like. I like it right here. Good. Great. So, on this one, don’t actually pull the trigger. Just take your setup. I’m just going to do another couple of little measurements. All right. So, just having a look here. This is right. All right. And on this next one, what I want you to do, imagine there’s a dead straight line from the center of the cup all the way back to the golf ball. Okay. That laser line is right there. Tell me when this ball would block the way. You couldn’t make the putt because it’s in the way. Right there. All right. Any adjustment from there? Yeah. Maybe go towards you just a little. Yeah. Perfect. Perfect. All right. Stand up out of there. I’ve never seen this done before. This is like a little magic trick, isn’t it? Yeah. Well, this is this is all about, for example, your distance from the ball, which we’re tracking, your posture. So, how where you put your ey line to. Okay. how you perceive that line, whether it’s straight or it has a bias. Um, and this is one of the things we see with with your average golfer so much is if the length is incorrectly fitted, it’s really hard to be in the right spot to one see the line correctly, but two, be able to create the right shapes in your putting stroke. So, this length aspect is just so important to be locked in and and get comfortable as well. Yeah. So, basically what we’re looking at here is where that bias is. All right. So, in terms of where you are, you’re certainly a passing grade there. Okay. All right. It’s really interesting doing that drill with a lot of people. Sometimes that bias can be a full cup out. All right. So, the eyes are giving you quite a lot of incorrect information on how you need to putt. Okay. But this is pretty good. Yeah. Okay. That’s certainly a pass. You bet. Okay. It’s in the It’s in the line. So, we we passed this test. Yeah. Absolutely. So, what we’re going through here is we have a look at um all of these parameters and everything gets graded for you. Okay. So, we got this guy here. Um, and this is your own proprietary app that you guys created. Absolutely. Okay. So, this guy here, um, basically this assessment is all about what does it what happens to Matt when he has this thing. Yeah. Exactly. So, whatever that gamer is, we use that as like the medical history. It’s been the lab Oz one that they, you know, they’re all custom fit lie angles and everything. So yeah, we’ll bring this guy up and basically we’re having a look at where that tendency is. I would say you’re ever so slightly right with the putter head. Okay. Okay. Even though traditionally maybe you aimed left with the putter, um I would say in here that’s also why you get the right to left putt and you shove them too high. Right. Okay. This can versus a conventional putter as well. But one one of the big differences that typically has to happen with a a a putter where we balance the axis right through is we end up with quite a lot of onset. All right. So onset or offset same as what we see in the full clubs. It it basically times where your impact position is going to be. So your impact position with this guy will be a little bit earlier than it would be if you had an offset neck for example like a plumbers’s neck or something like that. Absolutely. Yeah. And so pairing of all of that stuff there. Um, basically what we’re doing is we we’re trying to go what what tendencies are created from from this guy in here and we’ll make a recommendation based on that. So if anything potentially a little bit left with your direction. Mhm. All right. Not bad. But I reckon it’s probably a little bit of a correction for the fact that you aimed a bit right. And the key to putting your best is going to be where you actually feel like you’re doing the less less amount. So the less you have to manipulate it Uhhuh. the better you’re going to putt. Do you know your dominant eye? My right eye. Right eye. Okay. Do you know how strong that bias is? No. Okay. So, both eyes open. Um, just point at my nose. Okay. So, both eyes open. Pointing like that. Okay. So, yeah, in that position there, I’ll just take a photo of you. This indicates usually quite a strong bias. When you’re in that sort of position there, see how your finger’s right over that right eye. Right on it. So, so quite often if you’ve got like a weak bias, it’ll sit quite central. And then when you make a little triangle, that will separate it for some people. That’s your right eye. Your left eye is way over here. Oh, yeah. Okay. So, you see how much that’s like four or five feet. Exactly. So, this all goes into fitting the putter based on not only the dominant eye, but how dominant the eye is. Absolutely. Yeah. So, um it relates to basically how over the ball you are, the distance from the ball. Mhm. Your perception and your alignment tendency. So, we’ve got to pair all these things up to go how do you aim the putter? Well, I would imagine if you’re more, let’s say, you could be right eye dominant, but if you’re really in here, you’re kind of down like this even like you could open up. You got it. Yeah. And and so those positions as well, even front to back vary for a left eye versus a right eye dominant as far as what looks straight to them. This is looking at like what your rotation does in the stroke. So, I’ll bring you back to this position here. All right. And then I’ll throw basically a degrees of rotation on the face. this guy here. So, you’re measuring the face angle and then on the back swing and then the forward swing to see how much I turn it. Exactly. How much correction is made? All right. Or whether you hold off the putter, whether you There should be no There should be zero zero torque putter. That’s why we’re using it. Right. So, we time your downstroke here as well. Okay. So, I’m going to basically now see how many how many seconds this takes for you to get to the end. So, this does a couple of things. It’s measuring the length of your backstroke respective to your through stroke. Okay. Um, which will give us like an acceleration profile as well. So, I’ll put this guy on here. I basically put that guy rotation here. All right. So, you’re about about 30° on the way through, about 14 on the back. So, you’re about 45° um all the way through your rot rotating that. Okay. From back end of the backstroke to the way through. So even if you have a putter that’s supposedly not even supposed to rotate, you’re still going to rotate it to on some level. Yeah. And and this is the thing. So even even a lie angle balance putter, it’s on a plane, right? Rotation as the putter rotates on its arc, it should be open to the target and then close to the target to some degree. All right? Having the putter face always pointing at the target all the way back and all the way through can only happen if that putter is 100%, which is illegal. You can’t even use that kind of putter. So if we go back to this as a as a visual, your backstroke respective to your through stroke is your your backstroke shorter than the through stroke. So what it means is you’ve had to accelerate the putter quite a lot to get it through that impact zone. And it should be about the same probably. It’s individual. It’s not right or wrong. Okay. But so you’re not giving me putting lessons. You’re fitting the putter to what I do. Absolutely. So when you’re fitting people, they’re going through all of this. Absolutely. when they do and you this is what they would need to do if they wanted a fine-tuned putter. Every single person that has a fine tune putter has gone through this process to get it. All right. Everything is personal and made for that person. So, this is basically a a portable launch monitor for us now. So, this is going to basically as you hit the putt, it’s going to measure your ball speed, your launch angle, and your spin rate for every putt we do. Okay. So, so things like your ball position, your shaft lean, your angle of attack, and the loft on the putter. Um, all of those things affect what’s happening to this launch and roll. All of these we’re trying to categorize basically one to five. So anywhere from an up and back spin launch profile up and skidding. So slightly too much loft but sort of hopping then getting into its roll flat and then grabbing the grass and starting to topple over forward from impact where it’s got a little bit of top spin and then pop into the ground and over. So you can imagine those one to five. Way too much loft. Little bit too much loft. Get in pretty close. Maybe a little bit too little loft. Way too little loft. Okay. All right. So, all of these is about then pairing it up to the next pieces, which is categorizing the images we’ve taken. Okay. Yeah. So, this guy here, so you’re basically an up and getting pretty neutral. Um, a little bit high in terms of the loft on it. Okay. So, we we see things like where’s your ey line respective to the Mhm. putter very slightly over the heel of the putter. Strong rider dominance. Not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing, but you see it pretty straight from there. Then we categorize where do your hands sit respective to your shoulders. Okay. So, are you reaching out for it? Are they tucked in really close or are they hanging nice and relaxed? Okay. What happens to basically the shaft plane respective to your forearm? Sitting slightly underneath, sitting way underneath or getting steeper than the shaft to forearm plane. Okay. This guy here, this is about that ey line position. Okay. So, very slightly inside the line of the putt. What happens to the posture? Are you standing really upright? Are you like Michelle Wi over here? Okay. So, where does that look the closest to that guy there? Yeah. This helps us regulate what changes happen from this piece of equipment to the next piece and then build us up a putter. Okay. Okay. So, this isn’t necessarily the final putter we end up on, but if we look at the language this guy is speaking to us. Okay. So, what it’s saying is I’d like to see you with basically um a little more offset. Okay. It wants to see a little bit more contrast on this. And those two things in terms of your properties, we’re looking that you like to rotate the putter face a little bit. I do. All right. You aim a little bit right. So, it wants to add you some offset. Okay. Okay. And I do like those plumber necks offset styles I use. That’s really what I’ve used for many years. Yeah. It’s it’s all about how it frames it for you. Interesting. You know, and and massive in terms of what happens with the alignment properties of that putter. Okay. um it wants you in a little bit heavier. Okay. So heavier. So if we look at what happened in your profile, little bit shorter back, a little bit longer through. What we’ve seen is if we give you more head weight, what can happen is it helps to stabilize and even out. So you start to hit a little bit more with the backstroke. Okay. All right. So now we go build it all up and uh see what happens. So every individual part of the putter we customize for you. How many combinations of putters do you have in your kit? There’s only 30,000 in here. So, this is what the machine kicks out. It is heavier. Might even be a little bit softer than the uh Yeah, the current one you’re using as far as how the ball comes off. Well, that line rolls pretty nicely. That length of backstroke now sits. All right. So, let’s say you’re probably about 14 in, something like that. Yeah. Compared to your through stroke, it’s about the same. Yeah. So, a much more even back to through stroke as opposed to shorter and longer, you know. So, combinations of the mill pattern and the head weight will basically create that matchup for a player. Yeah. So, if we swap the face over to the the diamond mill, which is a faster face, quite often that’ll start to shorten things up and get a little faster with it. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Wow. We are totally geeking out in a good way for putter fitting. I’ve done numerous fittings, but I don’t think we’ve ever gotten this detailed. I don’t We’ve never gotten this detailed in a putter fitting. I expect to never miss again. We’ll see. See if there’s any more refinements. Does that still feel quite heavy or are you getting used to it? Yeah, I’m getting used to it. Yeah. Did you add weight or is the same? You tell me. Feels about the same. Look at you go. Very nice neutral roll. Yeah, there he is. Man, this might be my guy right here. Feeling really good. Nice and forward off the face now. 1.49. Mhm. All right. Right. Green. Green in terms of that window. So remember before it was a little bit higher. Quite a neutral. So with my my old gamer, it was going launching higher up and neutral. Oh yeah. And then 2.1 degree whatever launch angle, right? Yeah. And then now it’s promoting a 1.49. 49 and a forward spin off the putter face, which is what we want. Just a little bit of air and then roll. Exactly. Yeah. So, the the faster it gets into its true roll, the it’s out of our control and you’ve got more chance of consistency. You know, if that ball is sort of launching up, taking a long time to get into its roll brings in inconsistencies. It’s harder to hit your your aim point or your your start line. Um, and especially as those putts start to break, you get all sorts of inconsistencies front to back. So, that loft fitting is such an important part um to be able to regulate your speed control as well. Wow. Okay. Everybody’s going to want how much is would this how much will this putter cost? That guy there, you start at the sort of 659 mark. Um what’s quite cool from this process as well once you’ve worked out what we need to do. Lots of people end up sort of tricking them out. So, um, in terms of customizations, personalization, um, colors, logos, anything you like, once we know that this is getting made for you, you can make it that next level in terms of that personalization. So, look, you knew it wasn’t going to be cheap. Let’s be honest, you’re going to spend a good amount on a putter, but you’re going to have it for a long, long time. Absolutely. Versus a driver you’re going to get every two years or every year. Yeah. Well, we don’t want this to go 10 yards further next year. So, all right. All right. So, here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to take it on course, the the one the real one, and then see like do something there to see exactly like, you know, was I just making him here or does is he going to perform? So, I’m looking forward to doing that, too. So, that’s the test, man. But that’s the fitting fine-tuned link below. Thanks so much. Absolutely. Cheers, man. Cheers. Here we go. You saw the fitting. Now, the final product has arrived. this magnet case cover. Look at that black shaft. Feels just like the fitting. Let’s give it a roll. Almost made the first one out of the gate. We got the black mil face. I love the chrome back body with kind of the batwing tail. We’ve got a slight It’s not a tow down weight. It’s not a face balance. Slight toe flow right there. Got the fine tuned logo in green on the back and on the front face and the Mr. Short Game logo on the bottom. All the waiting, as you’ve seen, is behind the face which is removable. and adjustable. They also sent me this hat, which we’re going to wear because I thought the hat was really cool. Finally, a company with a cool hat. Time to hit the course and see if we if it’s a money maker. 18 holes at Mount Woodson with this guy. What I shoot that Yeah. Oh, uh 35 on the back. 35 on the back, one under. And uh even on the front even so one under first time out with fine-tuned I got to say no three putts some solid two putts some great birdie putts I know the question will this be in my bag. What do you think? Uh it’s definitely a top two putter for you. I like it. You’re rolling it good with it your first time out. That’s a good sign. He made a good birdie on uh what was it? Uh 14. He rolled like a nice ninefooter with like a six, seven inch brake and dead center like magic. Fine-tuned. Link in the video description below. Um, they’re not cheap at all, but you’ve got to get fit. You’re You’re all getting fit for drivers and everything else. So, I would say at least get fit for the finetune, see what you got, and go from there. But for me, this is my putter in the bag for now. Hope it helps. Love you guys. See you next time.

  1. Proof is in the pudding …. let's see how long it stays in the bag. As with every club once you get sloppy or lazy it's going to change.
    Stay steady and keep stroking it pure.

  2. That was a very interesting fitting, love the fact that they did not try to change your swing, but made the putter really fit your technic. Should be a real "cheat stick" for you. Look forward to seeing you playing with it in competition. Cheers.

  3. I've got 3 different length and heads LAB Putters, best I've ever owned. I drank the kool aid and sold or traded in my old putters.

  4. The Uber of this is a putter that can auto change these parameters as you're swinging the putter day to day differently. That's prob a ways off lol. This p detailed but correct. Little more heel weight corrects what you nat do here… It's not guessing

  5. But but but how dare you take the magic LAB putter out the bag. You should untorque yourself. 😜

  6. Another crock of shyte club to fool golfers into thinking they can buy a game. Golfers are so gullable. $699 drivers? $2000 irons 🙄. Nobody tricks consumers better than club makers..

  7. The emphasis placed by the fellow who performed your putter fitting on DOMINANT EYE awakened something in my little brain. I've always known about eye dominance and parallax distortion…and have tried to deal with it. I have had some success using a putting mirror to get my eyes directly over the ball….and then a light bulb went off, and I realized I don't need my "eyes" to be over the ball, I need my right (highly dominant) eye to be over the ball. This requires me to rotate my head slightly to the left to get my right eye looking back at itself in the mirror. What a difference that made! I've never seen anyone describe that technique, have you?

  8. If you can’t read the green and have poor depth perception, it doesn’t matter what you put with.

    As soon as I stopped looking for that magic putter and spent more time on the practice green, I made huge strides and became a better putter. Practice, Practice, Practice!

  9. This is why i love golf. the second everyone buys a zero torque putter, they move the goal posts. WOW

  10. Get real….people need to spend more time working on their stroke….thinking that a tool will magically fix their problems is just marketers brain washing people into buying their over priced clubs.

  11. Stroke and being good green reader is most important…..give me any club in the bag and I’ll putt better than most people with expensive putters.
