Flatstick

1. Golf

Definition: Slang term for a putter, because putter faces are considered flat relative to other golf clubs.

Reality check: Most putters are not, in fact, flat. In other words, putters, too, are lofted. You can find putters with zero degrees of loft (true "flatsticks"), but most putters have 3-4 degrees of loft to their faces.

Alternate Spellings: Flat stick

Sorry, But your IQ Is way to high for me..

ok so i think your talking about changing fromt 1st, 2nd, then into drive whilst your driving? kinda manually changing it into each gear to keep the revs and noise down? is that what you mean

[Moodles2]

I don't know if it's just me, but automatics and loud exhausts just don't mix.

I don't know what flat sticking is either.. but if I think it's what you're doing (moving the gear selector up and down manually selecting gears excessivly), you are damaging the linkages between the gear selector and the gearbox itself. Autoboxes like that are meant to be left in D, not to be treated as if they were tiptronic gearboxes. That's just my opinion.

i think by Flat-sticking he means pedal to the metal, planting the seed, flat to the boards, flat chat, tromping it, standing on it, giving it the bikkies, and so on

just because you move the selector up doesnt meant the box will shift up. you can gear down but it will gear up when it wants to. that depends on your throttle position. so dont bother

[Luckieee]

Flat-sticking is putting my foot down all the way.....

[Basti]

lol so you think your car is quieter when you give it full throttle?
