    I saw this post on Twitter and thought it would be a good conversation for Team Titleist.

    What would you prefer for your game?

    Dr. K,

    It looks like you left off the "sink more putts" selection.  If the "sink more putts" option had been available, that is what I would have selected.

    Amen on the vote.  I'm in a good spot with Titleist driver and Pro-V1x.  Need to get to 30-32 putts.

    Very happy with my Titleist 913D3 and Pro-V1x combination.  However, sinking more putts gets my vote.

    Sink more putts!!!!  My daily routine is to putt 5 balls from 3, 4, 5 feet; then 4, 5, 6 feet; then 5, 6, 7 feet. During any set a miss sends you back to the first distance. Are there other routines out there that I could try?

    Hi Coston - Like you I also go for sink more putts!  One of my favorite drills is to take 10 balls, set up in pairs at various distances from the hole (example one pair at 5 feet, the next pair at 7 feet, third pair at 10 feet, etc).  You can mix up the distances between each pair and stretch it out as far as the green permits.  I usually set them out in a line.  Then, putt one ball from each pair, always moving up or down the line to change the length of the next putt.  The idea isn't so much to make the putt (although its great when you do) but to get each putt to the hole or just past.  I find this great for distance control.

    Heck, I want it all.  I'd prefer chalk line straight drives to about 320.  Hit wedges from 150.  And, 1 putt all greens.   Ok, ok, I'd want to sink more putts.

    Putts, of course...driver spin doesn't show up on the scorecard.

    Given we drive for show and putt for dough, MORE PUTTS. Granted, less driver spin will usually result in longer drives and shorter second shots that should yield shorter putts that are more easily made.

    No doubt ... Sink More Putts!  I can get out of the trees if the driver spins too much but that one putt for par saves me all day long!

    26 - 28 putts per round is a good day for me

    I'd much rather sink more putts. I don't seem to have too much of an issue with driver spin at the moment - not at the courses I play anyhow.

    Definately sink more putts.  As previously noted, you drive for show and putt for dough.
