Why are blade putters going extinct?

This concept was explained to me the other day, and I found it super interesting

Quick 🧵 There's a lot of hype around the idea of forgiveness, which is a benefit, but it's a secondary benefit.

Wrote about it here but as @SashoMacKenzie explains, off-center hits aren't usually the reason why you miss putts.

It's face angle.

I analyzed all 1,353 shots from the best stretch of Scottie Scheffler's run last season.

Here are some things I learned about how Scottie plays golf.

Hopefully other amateur golfers will learn the lessons 🧵 First off, here's the stretch I analyzed. When Scottie went 1st, 1st, T-2, 1st, 1st en route to winning Masters and The Players.

I went through Shotlink and manually clocked everywhere Scottie hit his ball relative to the pin.

Yes, super tedious.

I know almost nothing about college basketball, so I put together this golf swing bracket instead!
