Wanted to be over the ball, so I started choking down in practice one day, and would mark where I would have my top hand. I was too upright, and felt like I was stabbing at the ball, missing right every time. Cut it to 29", and has been good since. Done this on 2 putters...

azstu324 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 6'3" if anybody asks but 6'2.5" at the doc's office. I was extremely fortunate to go through the Edel fitting process last year. I had always played a 34" putter but putting was never my strong suit. I was fit into a 36" , very heavy, and ver upright blade according to my biomechanics and aim tendencies. Putter fitting according to Edel has much more to do with other measurements than just height. Height is simply where they start, and don't even give much attention to, but then they add leg and waist height, arm length, shoulder width, wrist height from the floor, and about 3 or 4 other items that I just can't recall. The end result is something that I NEVER would have chosen for myself but I will be buried with this putter it's that good! fixyurdivot 1 Quote PXG 0311 Gen 5 9°/ Fujikura MotoreX F1 6X F6 3 Wood 14* / Kuro Kage Silver 65X F8 6 wood 20* / Fujikura MotoreX F3 6S RADSpeed Hybrid 24* TS1 4-GW / FCM Precision 6.5 Rifle TSW Wedge - 56/12 EAS 1.0 / Grip master 2.0 MAXFLI Tour CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of height some people will have shorter or longer than average arms. Also consider how tall or bent over your stance is as well as how straight or bent your arms are and your height starts looking less significant. I read this in one of the golf magazines back in the 80's. I tried it a couple of times at a party. If you have people line up and stand straight, if you look down the line, most peoples hands are at the pretty much the same height no matter their actual height. This is how the club manufacturers way back when were able to build standard length clubs. 90th percentile or something like that. Anyway, as this is party time, try it out for yourself and see. Maybe we can get some feedback through this thread. I have several putters 33-35 inches and choke down on the longer ones. Whatever is comfortable on that day. I wonder if it matters which way the putter is gripped, ie, conventional, off hand low, split grip, pencil grip etc. fixyurdivot 1 Quote Driver: Callaway Epic 9 degree, stiff (set at 10 degrees with the movable weight in the center} FW: Callaway Epic 3,5, heaven wood w/ regular shaft (driver shaft in 3 wood, 3 wood shaft in 5 wood, 5 wood shaft in heaven wood, all three set at neutral plus 1 degree) Hybrids: Callaway BB19 4,6,7 (4 set at neutral plus 1 degree and 6 and 7 set at neutral minus 1 degree for gapping purposes) Irons: Callaway Rogue ST Max 8, 9, PW Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM6 50,54,58 Ball: Titleist Pro V1, 1X, Vice Pro Plus or anything I find that day and try out for the fun of it (I haven't bought balls with my own money in at least 10 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 6’1” & use a 35.5” putter w/ an upright lie angle. I don’t play as much as I used too, but do get to practice some. Lower back always hurts after a session on the practice green. Doesn’t matter when I do it, before hitting balls, after, only putting. A buddy of mine has an armlock & I have dabbled with it some. It does seem to relieve the lower back. I may try one full time this coming year. I’m just stuck, bc No back issues during a round or after, but only when practicing, exclusively on putting. fixyurdivot 1 Quote Cally Epic Flash 3 / HZRDUS 1100- 6.5/tipped 1.5” TM M3 3wd HL/ Rogue 80x Srixon 785/ DGTI x100s Bridgestone Tour B/ 52°&58°- DGTI s400 Scotty TEI3 Long Neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGA PRO KMAN Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hello: I remember having a YES Putter at 33.5 cutting down to 33 inches. And i was 6ft 1nches. The went to my friends plave a got fitted for a 34 inch putter. What we found out that is that I lined up more squared and was able on a Arc what I was looking for. While shorter length my eyes where outside the ball forcing me to LOOP my stroke and leading to PULLS. I think the average length on Tour is roughly 34 inches. I think Tiger is 35.25 and Andy North was 29 inches. fixyurdivot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf2Much Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I was curious to see if the golfer height versus putter length data listed above correlated in any way. Here's the scartter plot: The simple answer is no. The R-squared value is a statistical measure that represents the proportion of the variance for a dependent variable that's explained by an independent variable or variables in a regression model. So if the R-squared value was 0.50, approximately half of the observed variation can be explained by the model's inputs. In this case, R-squared is just over a third (0.3491) so, there's much more involved in selecting the right putter length than just your height. If you throw out a couple of the outliers significantly above the regression line, the R-squared value would improve but it still implies there's other factors in play. For giggles, I put in my height (6'2" or 74 inches which is the "X" in the equation) in the model and it resulted in 34.97-inch putter or about a half an inch longer than I'm currently using. I'm guessing my 36-inch arms have something to do about that! Of course, that makes sense. There're more variables associated with relationship one has with his or her putter (or probably more accurately putters)! Everyone's comments certainly back that up. fixyurdivot 1 Quote Ping G430 Max driver 10.5 degrees with an Alta Quick45 gram senior shaft Callaway Epic 3 wood, Project X Evenflow Green 45 gram senior shaft Callaway GBB Epic Heavenwood, with a Mitsubishi Diamana 50 gram senior shaft Ping G 20.5 degree 7 wood, with a stock Alta 65 gram senior shaft Ping G 26 degree hybrid, stock Alta 65 gram senior shaft Callaway Paradym X irons, 7-AW with Aldila Ascent Blue 50 graphite shafts Edison wedges: 50, 55 and 60 degree, KBS Tour Graphite A flex shafts Putters: L.A.B.

I think the length relies more on how you stand over the ball than your height. I’ve seen guys putt great with a 30” putter that were 6’3” and vice versa. I like to get over the ball so I bend at the waist more than most but this allows me to get my eyes over the ball and see my line better. Some prefer to stand taller and have their eyes inside of the line and it works. I say try all different types of putters, lengths, and styles and find what works best for you! fixyurdivot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfer1tx Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 5'7" - I use a 33" putter, and have for years. When I was younger, I went with even shorter shafts, but it started bothering my back. I especially like the 33" in the winter, because the butt end of the putter doesn't get hung up in my jacket when putting. Quote . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
