Is It Worth Getting Fitted For A Putter?

EFINITELY - if you are spending money on a putter, you need to know it’s going to work for you as it’s the club you use the most in every on course round you play.  During a putter fitting session, we need to consider several factors, such as:

1. Stroke Analysis: We observe your putting stroke to determine its arc, face rotation, and path. This analysis helps identify whether you have a straight-back-straight-through, slight arc, or strong arc putting stroke.

2. Putter Length: We take into account your height, setup posture and eye position at address to determine the appropriate putter length for you.

3. Putter Head Style: There are so many putter head styles and different shaft designs to make each model of putter unique. We help you choose a putter head and shaft combination that aligns well with your stroke and appeals to your visual preferences.

4. Putter Balance: Putters come in different balances—face-balanced, toe-balanced, or mid-balanced. The balance type needs to match your putting stroke. A great looking putter that doesn’t match your putting stroke is a common (and expensive) mistake many golfers make.

5. Grip Selection: During the fitting, we guide you in selecting the right grip size and style that suits your hand size, comfort and putting stroke. Something as simple as an oversize grip can instantly improve a putting stroke and increase a players’ confidence on the green.

6. Customizations: If necessary, adjustments can be made to the standard loft, lie angle, and weight to optimize the performance of the putter for your stroke.

Getting fitted for a putter can significantly improve your putting performance and overall enjoyment of the game. It helps ensure that you have the right equipment in your hands, leading to more consistent and accurate putting strokes and increased confidence. The right putter is a worthwhile investment for those wanting to take their scoring to the next level.
