Nike Method Putter – Tiger Woods’ Nike Method Putter

From the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 putter to the new Nike Method putter. Golf’s world No 1 is using the Nike Method putter for the Open at St Andrews this week. Tiger Woods said:

“I’ve always struggled on slower greens (but in my practice rounds here) I haven’t had to make that much of an adjustment because the ball is coming off a little bit quicker.

“This putter … with the new groove technology … rolls the ball better.

“[The change is] something (caddie) Stevie (Williams) and I have been talking about over the years – what can I do on slower greens?.

“I’ve always putted well on faster greens … and can’t wait to get to the fastest greens that we play on tour. But this week has been a little bit different.

“Some of my best putting rounds were when the greens were running at 14 or something like that on the stimpmeter [th device used to measure the speed of greens]. These greens aren’t up to speed.

“Today one of the guys was out there doing a stimpmeter and it was under 10. I’ve always experimented with other putters throughout the years but I’ve never put one in play until now.

“You’re going to have some real long putts here no matter how you hit it and you just have to get down in two. So many times you can three putt.

“The two years I’ve played well here I’ve lag putted beautifully and I’ve also hit the ball in the right spots.”
