You pick what feels right or simply because a PGA Tour Pro won with it last week. The next step is to head to your local pro or big box store and putt a few balls on the indoor putting green.

BUY FROM A LOCAL BIG BOX OR PGA PROFESSIONAL Purchasing this way is tantamount to buying a very expensive designer suit online because it looks good on an influencer… without the option of return or refund. There are some providers out there that do provide a virtual design and fitting service which will go some way to helping you get where you need to be. At least with this option, you will look cool and be flexing on the putting green. The starting point must be buying a putter online because of the woke social media crowd. So what are the primary considerations when deciding on a putter fitting? Additionally, data is worth nothing if the equipment and components you have at your disposal cannot meet the needs identified. (More on these options later…) Having all the tech makes no difference if you cannot interpret the data and apply it dynamically to the golfer in front of you. Most people will equate putting a few balls alongside sophisticated tech as being custom fit. Often chosen simply on ‘wokeness’, looks, stamps or whether they are Tour Issue or not… there must be a better way.

Custom fit putters are still a rarity even amongst the most fastidious golfers and club hoes. The fastest way to reduce your score and handicap is through developing a solid short game of which putting is the primary contributor. Custom putter fitting should be a priority for every golfer. However, the one club in the bag which escapes notice is the one club responsible for more shots than any other… the putter. The combination of the head, shaft and grip are all tweaked and fit dynamically to get the most out of what you have at your disposal. Drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons and wedges are standard fare. How things have changed! Nowadays, there are simulators and analyzers with every conceivable metric measured and analysis made to get you optimised. If it felt good and you liked the look of it, you bought it. Regular or Stiff shaft options was about as good as it got. Getting custom fit used to mean taping up the head and hitting some balls on the range. We take a deep dive into what you should look for in a fitting experience and which one ticks all the boxes.

Being custom fit for golf equipment is now an industry standard and best practice, however, custom fit putters still lag behind the rest of the bag.
