In my first round with the Flat Cat Tak, I was pretty happy with my putting performance, although it definitely wasn’t a perfect day out.
On holes 1 and 3 (both par 4’s) I was left with a 6 footer and a 7 footer for par, and drained them both. Normally I would have missed one, if not both of these putts. However, on hole 4, I had a great birdie opportunity and putted it through the break. The issue in this case was pace.
In the end, I had:
- 4 x one putts
- 12 x two putts
- 2 x three putts
With the three putts, I left myself with 5-foot testers and pulled them both slightly. I can’t blame the grip for pulling the putts (that is 100% my fault, and something I’ve been battling with since moving to the Taylormade Spider X Slant Neck which has 30 degrees of toe hang). However, I can blame the grip for my slight issues with speed on the day. That would be my biggest criticism of the Flat Cat Tak. It can take you a while to regain your sense of green speed.
