Pegg Putter review.
Bryan Berguson
the looks other than to say to R&B that I wouldn't describe it as a cattle
prod but rather a branding iron. I've never seen a cattle prod that looked
like that but you could definately get some neat "brands" out of it. 'nuff
said on that. Sorry Jeff.... :-)
I don't know why and won't try and explain it (because I can't) but the Pegg
Putter always seemed to line up right of the hole. No matter what I did, I
could not get it to "look" at the hole with a normal setup. I always had to
leave the putter standing on the ground, go behind it, and re-align it.
When I did that, my putts were always on line. Now the weird thing is that
my putter I don't have any problem aligning, at least that is what people
tell me when looking at my putter alignment. Maybe it's because I have a
dominant left eye, I don't know, but whatever it is, the Pegg putter lines
up to the right for me and that is exactly where the balls go.
Aside from that, when I did go behind the putter to align it or had someone
do it for me, I did make putts. Jeffs theory (or whomever it was) about
distributing the weight to the putter head works. The putter swings very
true and it was easy to keep it on line and swing straight. I had a Carbite
putter that was super heavy and hated it but it didn't swing like the Pegg
did.
The distance control took some getting used to but I'm not that great of a
lag putter anyways so I can't say it was any better or any worse than my
putter. Just something that needs to be practiced more.
In conclusion: If I were going to buy another putter I would probably buy a
Pegg. If I was a beginner, I would definately buy they Pegg first. If my
wife played more golf, I would buy it for her. I really think it would help
her be more consistant. If, If, If..... Don't take these "Ifs" as
negatives or excuses. I'm saving my extra cash for a new Kimber 22 rifle
right now ($700 bucks worth of .22 rifle OUCH!) , I'm not a beginner, and
my wife only plays about 4 times a year.
If you get a chance, try the Pegg Putter out. See what you think yourself.

Early on, I couldn't align it correctly by eye either. I'm also
left-eye dominant (I discovered a couple years ago that I could aim
better if I just closed my right eye while standing over the ball).
But something funny happened along the way. I rarely stand behind and
line up a putt that's less than 6 feet. I don't need to. And I'm not
closing my right eye to aim any more.
I stand with my eyes over the ball/putter. I suspect that part of my
ability to aim correctly is that I get an image of the two rails--with
their white painted lines on them--moving back and toward the hole.
Keeping the putter on line to the hole is very easy, as those two lines
are just about the width of a cup. I don't think about it this way when
I'm putting, but in essence I'm aiming the *lines* toward the hole, not
the *face*. In keeping the lines pointed at the target, I'm also
keeping the face square to the target.
As usual, YMMV. But this is the way I get the putter to work for me,
and it works very well.

I have been following the posts on the Pegg Putter. Just what in the name
of all thats Holy, what is it? It here some place I can get a look at one.

If he hasn't posted my review on it, he should. It took about 3 pages and
all the superlatives that are available in golf to describe its advantages.
I call it an "automatic putter" because it permits alignment from down the
line which is a far more accurate procedure than from standing over the
ball, and for its incredibly feelable and unmanipulatable mass that
simplifies the pendulum stroke (a name Jeff and I share in our
businesses) -- where distance is simply a function of amplitude of stroke
and not of effort. Just for starters...
By all means look into it.

I checked out the site. I like the looks of the Pegg II best. Just how heavy
are those head anyway?
I think the beast feature of a club that stands on it own would be revealed
each and every early morning before the dew dries... Now when is Jeff going
to introduce his line of Pegg Wedges... :)

I have the PP III. It stands alone very stable. It weighs 19 ounces.
almost all in the head.

Don't need standalone wedges, do you? But you may have something there!
Run to the patent office.

Mine is about 2 pounds. The shaft is graphite and the grip is foam rubber.
I've spent some time with it on the practice green. My alignment appears to be
pretty good, i.e. 95% of the time I'm aimed where I think I'm aimed, which is
nice to know.
I haven't quite got the hang of distance control with such a heavy putter head
yet. Yes, I have tried accellerating the head through the ball, but it is very
easy to tell when I'm not making a pendulum stroke, which I am trying to do and
don't seem to be as good at it as I would like. So I think this could be a
valuable training aid. We'll see how it works out in the long run.

Only when I miss the green and the grass is still wet... which almost never
happens.
Yea... right!
I've had a hankering to design and build my own putter for years now. I had
intended to go very long (8-10 inches) and light, but now I'm thinking very
long and heavy. Personally I like long putters because for me they seem easy
to square up. Hand me a mallet head putter with an overall lengh of
3.something inches and I couldn't tell you where it's pointed to save my
life.
So how much loft on these suckers?

If the head is longer than it is wide, then it's an illegal head.
(Assuming that's what you mean by 8-10 inches long).

Who is Billy Barty?
It will likely be a one off... may not receive a name.
It will be The Stud Monkey...

You know I had to read taht several times before I got what you meant. :)
I assume you realize I'm talking about a putter head 8-10 inches long... and
you are just yank'n my chain. :)
Stud Monkey is still appropriate... as you would need gorilla arms for an 8"
shafted putter.

Yea... I know... but I mean it is 8-10 inches long (measured perpendicular
to the putting line) and definitely less than 8-10 inches wide/thick...
measured parallel to the inteneded putting line.
