Do you do any kind of SG stat tracking? My kid was asking about a LAB a little while ago, but I am taking a no new putter stance even though he had a pretty good discount.

He's improved a fair amount by being very deliberate in tracking his stats in Decade. It's really helped him understand where he's at compared to benchmarks he wants to be at for college.

It helps a lot to know where you stand at 3 putt avoidance from different distance ranges, what your make rate is from different distances and how it compares to a benchmark.

It helps check if you are being realistic about how many 8 foot putts you should make. If you are 3 putting more than average from inside 30 feet, is it because you are always giving yourself 5 footers? That's easier to correct than trying to sink more of those 5 footers.

There are so many aspects to putting that you have to understand for sure what parts need to be worked on to be sure if a new putter or change in stroke would help.

But I'm not your Dad so by all means go the new putter route if you think it will help!
