dlow206 5,918 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 This is random. Do you consider this putting stance to be hunched over? Also, random question, if you had to guess, what length do you think this putter is? 1 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 12/27/2020 Driver: TSi 2 - Graphite Design AD-XC 6S Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: ZX5 5 - PW - Nippon Modus 120 S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - KBS Hi-Rev S Putter: ER2 Link to post Share on other sites
Chip Strokes 3,206 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 @dlow206i don’t think you look hunched over. you seem to have a bit of rounding of your thoracic spine (i’d guess desk job) and it shows up consistently in your setup when you post pics or videos, so you don’t look more or less hunched here than what i’ve seen in your other posts. my guess is the putter is 30-31” long 3 Quote SIM 8º | KuroKage XT 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 : SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Futura 5w Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted to ask because i didn't feel like my stance was abnormally bent over. I've always felt like every standard putter I have ever owned, and even 32" putters were too long. So I have always adjusted to the putter rather than adjusting the putter length to me. Decided to cut one of the cheap putters laying around the house today to 30". 1 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 12/27/2020 Driver: TSi 2 - Graphite Design AD-XC 6S Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: ZX5 5 - PW - Nippon Modus 120 S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - KBS Hi-Rev S Putter: ER2 Link to post Share on other sites

Also, when getting fitted for a putter by a professional, i was fit into a 32" putter, but likely because my stance adjusted to the equipment length vs me standing to what feels comfortable. 5 minutes ago, tony@CIC said: I must stand too upright.

Probably partially a difference in wrist to floor between you and @Chip Strokes. For me, my legs are proportionately short for my height, but my arms are average for my height, so I end up being really close to the ground (30.5" wrist to floor). Somewhere I learned that my wrist to floor is about the average wrist to floor for someone who is 5'2". 1 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 12/27/2020 Driver: TSi 2 - Graphite Design AD-XC 6S Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: ZX5 5 - PW - Nippon Modus 120 S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - KBS Hi-Rev S Putter: ER2 Link to post Share on other sites

I picked up a 31" putter and it was amazing how much better it felt to putt to putt with my arms hanging down, and I putted better. When I was fitted at Ping HQ in 2017, I putted best with a counterbalanced putter that was 34" but the grip was long enough so I could grip it where I would grip a 31" putter putting the counterweight above my hands. I found my putter. 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to post Share on other sites
