It's been several months since the Boomerang craze was released. I am very curious to see the results of those who purchased one or won one. The season is pretty much in full swing so I think all have had a chance to see how it has helped or hindered your putting . Mine has significantly helped in distance control. Thanks
I skeptically bought one myself and I use it a little every night, but I see no improvement in my on course distance control, however I have started making a much smoother stroke with a truer tracking roll, subsequently draining more putts. I have always gone at the hole with an agressive pace but had too much hit in my putts I like using it, it reminds me of cue stroke in pool. Jim
My results are similar to yours. I don't think it helped much at all on long putts but my lag putting has been pretty good. On short putts I think it helped a lot. Unlike you my short-putt problem was what I call "pooching" them. I tended to raise up and decelerate. The Boomerang helped me ID that problem and helped me groove a still head and firm stroke. I am hitting the 4 footers much more confidently and making a higher percentage of them. I really do think the Boomerang helped.
My biggest tendency is/was to pull short putts, the Brang has helped that I'm sure, I 3 putted a rinky dink par 3 yesterday for the first time in a while, as soon as I made contact with the ball I felt it. The Brang makes my pulls and decelerations very obvious. My long putts improved also, I'm putting a very good roll on the ball now and they are tracking much better I step up to long putts now with the thought of it's going in, as opposed to just get it close. I have also gone to the claw grip too, which took all the hit out of my stroke. Jim
It has actually helped me a lot. I've made more 8-10 footers this year than ever before.
When I first started using it, I had trouble hitting 3 or 4 in a row that stayed on the ramp. I can make several hundred putts now and control how far into the white disk the ball rolls before it either sticks or comes back.
