Anyone with eyes can see Bhatia is illegally anchoring his putter

It’s just touching your clothes Akshay? Really? Anyone with eyes can see that’s not true. Are we all just supposed to go along with this? What are we doing?
This diagram is included in the official frickin rules of golf. Tell me Bhatia is not doing exactly what is depicted in the bottom right hand corner.

Agree, exactly like Langer.

Bernhard has been getting away with it for years

How much difference does it really make?
Does anchoring result in .25 shots gained per round?
Arm lock is legal, but the grip is anchored against arm.
What can and cannot be “anchored?”
I know “belly” is out. “Chest” is out. I guess arm can be “locked”, but not “anchored?”

He definitely is- they need to ban long putters.

Or get rid of the “anchor” rule.

Honestly, with Bhatia, he's like 125 lbs soaking wet, it likely is only touching his clothes. I imagine his chest is concave.

They cheat as easily they breath. Dishonesty is compulsive with certain groups.

I’ve never understood why the 46” max club length wouldn’t apply to putters

Ashkay is a guy that was basically number 1 in his age group by the time he started playing golf. He's a stand up guy and he's addressed this. According to him, the putter is 2 inches from his chest. He's given nobody any reason not to trust him. He's a lanky SOB with zero chest, but he isn't cheating.

I play golf with a man who is 6’9”.
A 46 inch driver looks like a toy.
Have they restricted it to 46”?
I’ve never looked it up bc I’m 5’10”(or was years ago).

Meh, look at the 6 second mark. Unless he's jacked, you can tell that it's not anchored to his chest.

I saw him address a putt yesterday and lean over and you could see his body abruptly stop when it came in contact with the putter.
Absolutely anchoring.

The tour does. I think amateur golf allows up to 48”

Wow....
OP:
Doesn't look anchored in the video you linked.
