for everyone that does not putt exclusivly stradle style. (chest and hips facing target) there may be great news... new product claims Superior balance, stronger more confident runs at basket and reduced number of two and three putts. More consistent accurate putting tool that is tournament legal. for right and left handed players...

I was watching that new Ching Mojo putter flying in the wind at the Windyshins and it appears to be the real deal and not just a gimmick.  When you putt dead on into a headwind, the wind will exaggerate the over or under stability of a disc and blow it severely off-line as the disc changes speed and spin over the course of its flight.  The Mojo I was watching would settle straight down going into a headwind as it ran out of forward velocity.

I don't know what Mangle was talking about, but his post reminded me of this.

Bruce, I have been throwing the JUJU since Holgate(owner of CHING) has been sending me protos in May or June.  I can tell you this is the real deal!!!  All around great putter/upshot disc, it really gives you a back to the basics view on how to throw your putter.  It makes you hold your disc the right way.

....Yeah, are you just toying with us or is this something that is real??  Lets cut through the BS and tell us what the hell your talking about?!?!

The Ching MOJO is  agreat disc design.. bye the way I was schooled In first round action at Fairfield by a player destroying the chains with the Ching MOJO.. he said the thumb grip was a huge advantage.

The product is not a disc, it is a product that turns your forward motion into torque increasing your balance, distance, accuracy and confidence.

More info on the way. Chill and reach in your pocket Retail $ 19.95

Speaking of chains, I think somebody is pulling them.  As best as I can figure the mojo is a putter.  Here is the URL

Yes, the mojo is a putter. I believe they ran afoul of copyrights with the mojo name, so now its called a juju. Or was it vice versa?

it probably is a rip-off but i would mind seeing it or something.

the fact that anything besides experience and time can make you a better putter instantly is kinda bogus

Kelsey and the other junior girls found lucky beans at Grandview in Des Moines that can make you a better putter instantly.  I had two of my best rounds after I got some lucky beans.  Never underestimate the power of the latest gimmick.

confidence is indeed a big factor in putting well.  i think the best way to get confidence though is through daily practice.  its always better to be lucky than good though!!!

Post by: Chainmeister on November 06, 2004, 01:55:59 PM
I think it has something to do with time travel.  He misses wildly, even with his mojo working.  Calmly sticks his hand deep into his pocket (no Mangler, I didn't think you were doing that...) hits the button and travels back in time to the point just before he putted.  After fifteen attempts he finally sinks one.  I wonder why I am so tired after being on the same course for only fifteen minutes and why my arm seems so tired.  I could have sworn I took this shot already.  I made my putt the first time but missed it on Mangler's fifteenth retake.   He wins, we lose.  If you ever feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day its just the Mangler taking a Mulligan through time. :P

this dude called "Spaz" once taught me an awesome puttin technique that he calls the "stroke saver".   he would actually yell "stroke saver" as he used it.   i'll demonstrate it for 20 bucks an hour   B)

I like michler mulligan maker.  how about the danimal chain stalking device.  whatever.  feel free to tinker with that.

I still want to know how it would be PDGA legal, since that's all that matters....

Quote802.04  ARTIFICIAL DEVICES 
A. During a round, a player shall not use any artificial device that may assist in making a throw, except those devices that reduce or control abrasion to the skin (such as gloves, tape, bandages, gauze, etc.) and medical items (such as knee and ankle braces, etc.). Items used to prevent slipping on the teeing surface are also allowed. A player is specifically prohibited from using any artificial device that changes the position of the disc in the player's hand or artificially lengthens any of the player's throwing levers (fingers, wrist, arm, shoulder, etc.). The use of devices which assist in determining distances , such as range finders, are prohibited.

I would be interested to know if this would be legal also. Even if it's not legal, it might be a good training device depending on how it works.

I second the motion to fine you $50.

I played with him twice and the second time we gave him a warning and if he got out of line again we were going to give him a stoke penalty.  That shut him up.  

Has anyone seen him at all this year, or did he get the hint and got outta the sport?

Does this magical device change how the disc is positioned in your fingers or hand?
Title: Putting made easier...

Mangler, are you selling this device personally?  Have you used it?  I am a horrible putter and could use magical powers.  Keep me posted.
Title: Putting made easier...
Post by: Mangler on November 22, 2004, 01:15:13 PM
Instant improvement.
Will be worth the wait.
Personally I have found that I dont overshoot basket and can pretty much dictate which side of basket I will hit. I am hitting the target so often it is getting frustrating when the disc doesnt drop or hits  basket/top rim.

Must admit that I was skeptical at first but it is better than I thought it could be.

Title: Putting made easier...
Post by: mirth on November 22, 2004, 01:16:41 PM
So is this something you wear on your arm and/or hand and/or fingers that alter the positioning of the disc?

You can answer for yourself soon enough.

Also any one want to play 18 at Village Green (Ball Course)in Mundelein. I think it would be an excellent chance to get on a Ball Course.  $15.00 to walk $25.00 cart.

Title: Putting made easier...
Post by: Dan Michler on November 22, 2004, 03:43:55 PM
Putting is all about confidence.  I think the best way to get it is through alot of practice.  The mechanics shouldn't be too complicated.  Just find a simple, repeatable, and comfortable way of putting your disc at a speed that doesn't result in you putting a 20 footer if you miss it.
