Directed Force Review

jut111 · November 14, 2016

I can't answer the 2nd question, as I'd never been fit for a putter before. I was fitted into the df at 35, 71 which I believe is fairly close to standard.

I've never invested much in a putter before. Kinda believed it didn't really matter and any slab of metal would do.

Before this I used a seemore si5 and cure rx2 tour which I bought used. Both will be available on the bst shortly.

How long did it take to arrive? I am about to send in my video for a fitting.

I placed my order this afternoon and just got an email notice that it has already shipped. So, you might be getting yours sooner than you think, I was thinking it would be at least a month.

OMG...I had better get my video taken and sent.

Huh. I ordered mine like 2 1/2 weeks ago and nothing yet ?

I am really surprised, I had to triple check the email. I wasn't expecting the your order email has shipped for at least a month. I guess I had the lucky specs for one that was already built.

That's definitely possible. I was expecting about 3-4 weeks so not too antsy yet.

Nov. 27 ordered on Sunday.

Dec. 8 received.

Good service here!

I had no service issues.

In the interest of science, and cause it's cold out I conducted a little experiment. I alternated 20 putts (10 and 10) with my df and my old gamer on my birdie ball green simply trying to roll it end over end (thick line on the ball to confirm).

I went 9-10 with the DF and 3-10 with my old gamer. I only got in 3 real rounds with it before the snow came, but I really think this will be a game changer on the greens for me.

God it's butt ugly. :lol: Cool if it works, though. Reminds me of a Bettinardi Xcelerator.

Sun Devil · December 8, 2016

Any pros using it?

Any pros using it?

Dechambeau used one. I think he's on to the side saddle experiment now but still cool.

Hubijerk · December 8, 2016

Anybody have any on green pics of this thing, set up to the ball? I'm intrigued. I like center shafted putters, I have grown to be comfortable with mallets, so this seems cool. I sent an inquiry email but judging by the feedback on here I probably shouldn't hold my breath... No place to try them in Vegas and ironically the company is located in Reno...

Also users have commented that it's light, does anyone have a headweight? Also has anyone tried adding lead tape, and if so where to put it as not to affect the balance of the putter. Anybody counterweight it?

LoveSick666 · December 9, 2016

Hubijerk i wouldn't say they are light persay. They are actually weighted differently depending on the lie angle you need. The flatter the lie angle, the lighter they make the head. More upright the lie angle, the heavier they make it. I used a counterweighted super stroke on mine and it was fine. Id try it normally first and then experiment with lead tape or counterweighting after

What's the logic behind that?

Physics? Hold you putter straight out on front of you waist high. You feel the putter head quite easily. Now hold it straight down. It feels lighter.

Head is 360g but will have additional weights put in (20-30 grams); shaft is 100-125g; grip is 105g. So total minimum of 585g, max about 620g. That's a fairly high total weight and head weight.
