Dufner to use a mini version of A. Scott’s putter?

Jason Dufner has changed putters a few times in the last year, but it looks as though he’ll make his most radical putter change this week at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, where he’s the defending champion.

We snapped photos of Dufner playing in Wednesday’s Zurich Classic Pro-Am with a short putter version of the Scotty Cameron Futura X Prototype putter that Adam Scott used to win the 2013 Masters.

Dufner had a breakout year in 2012 that started with his win last year in New Orleans. He won two weeks later at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, and finished second the next week at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. After all was said and done in 2012, Dufner earned almost $5 million in prize money and finished in the top 25 fourteen times, which paved the way for his second-place finish in the FedExCup Playoffs.

This year, Dufner has made less than $500,000 and is ranked 74th in the FedExCup Standings. As is the case when most players struggle, Dufner has putted poorly in 2013, going from a rank of 78th in Strokes Gained-Putting in 2012 to 133rd in 2013.

Like Scott’s long putter, Dufner’s short putter features a straight, or center shaft, and has his usual SuperStroke Slim 3.0 putting grip, which is much larger than standard putter grips.

In our forums, not everything is about club selection and shaft options. A heated debate has bubbled up surrounding the best sock options players can wear on the course.

@CletePurcel asked:

“Just bought 2 new pairs of FootJoy shoes and trying to find out the most favorable socks to wear. I try to walk 9 holes two to three times a week and good socks are a must. Thanks in advance.

Members in the forum chimed in with their favorite footwear accessories. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Maroon_19: “I’ve only worn Kentwool socks for golf for the last 8 years – regardless of weather. I walk 90% of my rounds and play anywhere from 50-75 rounds a year (going to go up as I just retired). They only get worn for golf. As long as you care for them, they’ll care for you. Have had zero blisters with them. I just started using my second set of 8 pair for our Bandon trip earlier this month. The old ones will now go into the daily wear rotation. Still good after all these years.”
smoova: “I’ve had good luck with Swiftwick. Walk every round 12 months a year in Colorado.”
Hawkeye77: “FJ Pro ProDry is what I’m usually wearing just because I have more of them, but I’ve got some Smartwool socks I love for the wool aspect – they sell them as running socks. The thicker socks are better for certain shoes. I’ve gone merino/other wool in almost all my socks – athletic, “dress” and so forth – no more “Orlon”, lol, some golf socks are the exception.”
th6252: “Another vote for Kentwool, honorable mentions to Balega and Falke(thanks to someone on this forum for turning me onto the RU3).”
