Advice on putter fitting

[Aotearoa_Brad]

Hi all, just looking for your thoughts/advice re putter fitting. I've never been fit for a putter and, having read some of the forums since joining MGS, am convinced of the importance of this before shelling out on a new (or new for me) flatstick.

 

I'm all the way down here in New Zealand so don't expect you guys to be able to tell me who a good fitter is locally, but I'm interested in what I should be looking for from a putter fitting, is there a 'gold standard' for a putter fitting process? What kind of things should I make sure are considered when a fitter takes me through this process?

 

Appreciate your assistance with this.

The putter fitting article is a great read. I met Bruce when was across the street at swan lake.

 

The SAM unit is a great piece for letting you know what you are doing with your current putter.

 

But what you need to know is what putter can help you with the thins you do.

 

Test for length maybe eyes are not in the right spot to see the line,

test for AIM once length found check for AIM using different offsets.

Check for weight. and where the weight goes on the putter.

 

Bottom line the ball has to get into the hole
