Sik Flo C Shaft Angle?

[Hunteruu]

So I've using my Evnroll ER10 with the rectangular Gravity Grip on a traditional shaft being in line with the face, and love it. Very easy to feel squared up.

 

Like anything good, I still tinker, so I've been messing with my newer Sik Flo C. However, its shaft has a forward press angle with a standard grip, leaving my hands offset from the face. I found that when I introduce a little more forward press, I seem to roll the ball a little more consistent.

 

I don't see anywhere that Sik really promotes this practice given the different degrees milled in the face, but I was wondering if that's the typical for when any putter shaft has that built in shaft angle. 

 

It reminds me of the L.A.B. putter shaft, but they have their press grip that combats that angle. I'm wondering if that's something the Sik would benefit from?

 

Am I crazy?

Are you talking about shaft offset?

Not really. Take a look. You can see how the Sik's shaft leans/angles towards the target where the Evnroll is parallel with the face.  

 

It's just a bit interesting, and reminds me of how the L.A.B. putters angle their shafts. They have the grips that help the offset where the Sik is just a standard grip. 

 

They don't talk about it anywhere that I've found, so I'm just a little thrown off by it.

Just how the shaft was installed. Grab 6 of the same single or double bend putters and they'll all be different.

Really? Holy cow. So is it suppose to be normal like the Evnroll?

Yeah you have to get it right when installing those or else the putter could also sit shut or open at address. 

 

You can probably find posts of people asking why model x sits perfect and model y from a different year opens up.
