   Just kick him off the tour already. All he does is push rules around.

   Maybe the pin heads running the NCAA can assist?

   He’ll never master this game with physics alone. Maybe on a flat mat in a lab with a simulator but not in the real world.
   his arrogant dismissal of “feel” is a major problem. The game won’t let anyone get by without it. It’s what made Tiger so great – now he’s lost that and become a mechanical monster. Once golf stops being fun, the spark dies and it wins..

   it’s the only sport you can never beat…Roll a 300 bowling, and that’s it -there ain’t no 301….shoot par – ok – bet you there’s a lip-out and missed shot or two in there…ya can’t shoot an ’18’…

   He ‘disrespected’ golf thinkin’ he’d outsmart it & golf won’t have it!

   I wish he would reconsider and stick with this. I’d love to see the USGA have to come up with yet another farce of a rule based on zero statistics, common sense, or logic in the name of “growing the game”. Too bad.

   I agree with the majority of posts here, the USGA is a JOKE. Putting is all about confidence and if that’s what he was comfortable with you go with it. You would think that someone would have pointed out any issue with the putter he chose long ago. As far as I know, the rules are the same as long putters: maximum of 80 degrees lie angle on the shaft, round grips, and no anchor point. Most face on putters are no more that 3.5″ wide you can stand the putter up to 90 degrees to get a true pendulum motion without toe interference, but that’s not a rule, it’s a preference. You cannot straddle the ball or even putt with one foot behind the ball in line with the hole. As long as both feet are to either side of the ball, you’re good to go. I’d like to see more of this on tour but it looks like the USGA does not. That’s the joke. Maybe they don’t want to be bothered to closely monitor the Side Saddle or the guys still using long putters without anchoring. Are they doubting the integrity of the players on this?

   This guy can do all the math, perfect all the algorithms, explain the nature of the quantum theory, and yet he can’t figure out the 6 inches in between his ears. He’s a left-brainer that should be working at a Tech company in Northern California. He’s a raw talentless watered down Phil Mickelson that is wasting his time tinkering with frivolous ideas. Unless he fixes the vacuous hole in his head and starts working on things that really matter, ie his short game and metal toughness he’s not gonna make it. Get your **** together Bryson or you’ll be playing on the Web.com tour or even worse you’ll be an employee at Web.com.

   Would agree with most ? The USGA is out of touch with the real world and is going in the wrong direction with this issue. And as for Bryson forget about all the science crap and just go out and swing, on the green putt it. If your good enough to be there then you should be there if your not quit do yourself a favour. You’ll have less stress in your life and you could become a rock or space hound. Just saying !!!!!!!!!!

   I’m no Deschambeau fan, but I have to take his side on this one. The USGA is a terrible organization and they have ruined golf! I’d side with anyone except Hillary Clinton or Adolph Hitler over the USGA!!

   Any Casey Mayin had an unfair advantage riding his cart.

   To be fair even if some guys were allowed 16 clubs in their bag they’d still be no better off. To ouch red tape and rules. Enjoy the game, play golf!

    He had a stellar amateur career and seemed last season to be trending towards a fine pro career. The single length shafts were certainly an anomaly and he made it work until, it didn’t . His over ripe, analytical mind seems to have caused a major roadblock . Clearly he wanted to improve his putting at the expense of experimentation. I disagree that the USGA is culpable. In fact, with the available metrics avaikable for the putter, it’s straightforward.
    I get that he’s desperate to improve. It’s no fun missing cuts. And at 23 he has time. But his agent, mentor, teacher, etc. need to take him aside and tell him the honest truth. He’s become his own worst enemy. Until he accepts that’s he’s wrecking a promising career in golf by tinkering needlessly, he’ll be the next Bud Cauley. Bryson your looking pathetic bud.

    this guy is a scam. too much attention put on him without reason. he has maybe different way to see the game but there is lot of golfer outside the spotlight that grow the game more than him. Look at the development of golf in Asia, Latam,… this is improvement. Side putting is nothing of growth to our sport.

    Next week he will be standing on his head while putting because there’s some “science” behind it that he wants us to think only he understands and everybody else is stopping the “growth of the game”. So far he has not done a single thing that hasn’t been done before. Appearing psychotic over the need to brand himself is not the way to start his professional career.

    His approach might annoy some of us but he’s not wrong about the USGA. Just look back at the past few US Open weeks. Each has had their fair share of awfully dumb decisions by the USGA. Their an old org with nothing more than their own egos to think about.

    Never been a fan of Bryson and he’s not doing much of anything to change my mind. Sounds like he’s searching just like the rest of us and trying to blame his woeful play on someone else.

    How many years must we endure another golfer being praised for his talent that never shows up when it counts? We have had more then 20 Years of how good John Daly is and we did get to see that twice in that time…Bryson has a chance to go 20 or more years without even that.

      If someone has a different approach, he has to be an idiot – no?

        No, not that. They told him the method is ok by the rules, so he can carry on putting side-saddle if he wants. But his putter was ruled illegal, because the shaft was in the wrong place for it to have the correct angle.
        But for him to go around crying like this and name calling the USGA – he has no class.

          Can you explain in more detail the problem with the construction/form of his putter?
