Customizing Your Putter: Why Getting Fitted for Your Putter is a Game-Changer

Many golfers focus their attention on fitting for drivers and irons, but they often overlook the most used club in the bag: the putter. Getting fitted for your putter can be a true game-changer for your score.

A professional putter fitting goes far beyond simply choosing a head style. It's a detailed process that considers multiple variables to find a putter that's perfect for your stroke. The first element is putter length, as an incorrect length can force you into an uncomfortable or unnatural posture, which leads to inconsistent strokes.

The lie angle of the putter is another critical factor. A lie angle that's not suited to your height can cause the toe or heel of the putter to be off the ground. This can cause the clubface to open or close at impact and make you miss putts left or right.

A fitter can also help you determine the ideal head style for your stroke. Whether it's a blade, mallet, or mid-mallet, each style has different weighting and balance points that can benefit different putting strokes. The correct loft of the putter is also important for a consistent roll. By getting a professional putter fitting, you can find a putter that feels like an extension of your body, improves your ability to start the ball on line, giving you the confidence needed to sink more putts.
