Just wondering if anyone else ever "switch hits" like baseball batters, who hit from one side for power and from another side for accuracy.

I feel like if you have a dominant right eye you can see the line a lot better using a LH putter. It probably doesn't hurt that I'm a natural left hander.

Can't say as I've experimented with a LH putter...

But, for a number of years I did carry a LH 5 iron for those seemingly all too frequent occasions where I found myself up against a tree or similar where I didn't have a RH swing, but I could swing LH.

Now though, I have confidence enough to either switch a RH club around or fashion some other type of recovery...

Interesting premise though......

Cheers

I've tried it (my wife golf LH), but I don't like it. I'm a natural LH'er, golf RH, and am L eye dominant.

My putting problem isn't pace, it isn't getting the ball started, it's making the proper read.
