5 Simple Steps to a “Perfectly Fitted Putter”
 
Ever wonder why putting is so difficult for you? Want to know how to fix it? I’ll bet you’re using improperly fitted equipment without realizing it? If so, consider yourself lucky. We’ve come to save your putting game. These 5 key points will get you that perfectly fitted putter so you can shave off all those unwanted strokes on the greens. Let’s learn how.

The First Key:

A quality fitting can’t be done without you knowing your proper measurements. To calculate your best putter length you must base it on your height. You will do what’s known as a wrist-to-floor measurement. Measure form the inside of your wrist at the top of your hand all the way down to the floor. Keep this measurement ready for future reference.

The Second Key:

Figure out what your posture is when you’re putting. Do you stand more upright like a Vijay Singh? If so you will be better suited to longer putters that have more upright angles. Or do you have more of a crouched posture like the great Jack Nicklaus? If you fall into this category you will need a shorter putter that has flatter angles with it.

The Third Key:

Look at your hand position when you address the ball for a putt. There are a number of factors that will affect the proper loft at impact you need. These include offset putters, ball position, and hand position. Are you a player with pronounced forward press? This will create negative loft at the point of impact; therefore you will need additional loft to counteract this preference. If you have a conventional hand


position then you will benefit from a standard lofted putter.

The Fourth Key:

What’s your putting stroke like? You must consider this because depending on your wrist action, it will dictate what type of grips you need. Players with more of a pendulum action will choose wider or fatter grips to inhibit any unwanted wrist action. A golfer who has more wrist action in their stroke will prefer the smaller, thinner, more traditional sized grips. As these are believed to promote a smoother release of the ball.

The Fifth Key:

Look at your stroke path. Do you have an inside-square-inside (small arc) path to your stroke? If so you probably have a tendency to pull your putts and will benefit from what’s known as heel shafted model putter. If you’re more of straight-back-straight-through stroke you will have more of a tendency to push your putts. You would then benefit more from a face balanced putter with the weight dispersed evenly in the putter head.

With that being said, go get yourself a properly fitted putter. Every golfer knows good putting is essential and you’re leaving yourself at a huge disadvantage by not using the proper equipment!
