Thill Pro Series putters is kind of a hush-hush deal for die-hard golfers who don’t mess around when it come to feeling good about their putter. They have establish themselves as a niche within a niche by focusing almost entireley on the exact weight of the putter head and the milling of face insert. They’re not trying to sell there products with fancy colors, glitz or name recognition.
There’s no bling to them. It is just engineering. And that’s what turns guys’ heads.
Whether you hit it hard or soft this thing rolls at an even keel. That type of repeatable performance in a game where so many factor exist can be difficult to find. From traditional blade to giant mallets that claim to help you align better and cure your yips, there’s no shortage of putters on the market.
Finding the correct one can be as much trial and error than finding the last half of a puzzle without all the pieces. With the Thill Pro Series, however, it’s really simple because it take a more modular approach that lets you mix and match weight and balance to find what work best for your stroke. Rather than having just one club, it’s more of a system.
Who Is The Thill Pro Series Putter For
Engineering and Modular Design
And knowing who fits in the system will unlocks better putting for you. The milled face are the backbone of every Thill putter. It adds friction to the golf ball and increases its spin, thus reducing the likelihood of the ball sliding across green.
Milled Face and Ball Spin
Backspin is something most golfer underestimate on short putts. The unpredictability of a sliding ball can lead to missed putts. When a ball has predictable spin it will roll true.
That is what appeals to lag putter who have trouble making the putt. By gaining control of the speed, you’re as good or better off than the pure direction. The feel of this putter at impact are greatly influenced by its weight.
Custom Weighting System
With Thill, you are able to customize where the majority of weight sits… In the head or the grip end. By doing so, you can choose what feels best for you based off your balance point.
For someone with a quick, jerky putting motion, putting more weight into it can really dampen the head. For those who have a slower, more pendulum-style stroke, less weight may gives them better feedback. The nice thing about being able to tinker with these variables is that you don’t need to change your swing to accommodate the putter, the putter will adjust to you.
Alignment Aides and Visual Clarity
The Pro Series also excel with alignment aides. For example, the lines atop head are meant to assist in squaring your face at address. And the high contrast visuals are easy seen from behind the ball, important since if you don’t aim your putter correctly, you’re not going to putt well.
The clean design of the hosel and the clear reference lines cut down on any visual clutter. They allow you to concentrate on the target versus fighting your equipment. It all add up to building confidence on the greens, which is half the battle when putting.
Shaft Fitting and Lie Angle
As for shafts, there’s a little something for everyone here as well. There are standard-length offering, but if you’re looking for a specific length or lie angle Thill will work with your fitter. That way the putter match your eye positioning above the ball and your posture.
If not properly fit, this will cause adjustments that will resulted in inconsistency. It’s nothing too complicated; many golfers avoid being fitted out of fear of it being too much. But it really comes down to matching the golfer to the tool.
The Pro Series can be adjusted to fit your needs without sacrificing its strength. So at the end of the day, the Thill Pro Series are for the golfer looking for something precise rather than hyped up. It is for the golfer who will take some time to dial in his or her set-up.
Maybe not for the golfer that likes a putter he picks up off the shelf and can immediately putt with no tinkering. However, for the golfer that want a putter to respond precisely to his or her stroke, this may be tough to surpass. The spin comes from the milled face, the stability come from the weighting system and the direction comes from the alignment aids.
This is a total package for the serious player. You get what you put into it.
