Golf Putters - Page 101

Putter length is generally measured by the distance from the golfer’s palms to the ground. Men’s putters are mostly found in 34” and 35,” while women’s putters are standard at 33." Most golfers will be able to use shorter lengths than what is considered "standard."

Putter types vary based on the shape and size of the head, with mallet and blade being the most common. Finding the right putter type for your stroke can be crucial to finding consistency on the green.

As shown here:

Blade Putters: These traditional putters have a simple, blade-shaped head. They offer a classic look and feel, and are often preferred by golfers who value precision and touch.

Mallet Putters: These putters have a larger, mallet-shaped head. They provide increased stability and forgiveness on off-center hits. The larger head also helps with alignment.

Peripheral-Weighted Putters: These putters have weight distributed around the perimeter of the head, creating a higher Moment of Inertia (MOI). This design promotes stability and forgiveness, making it easier to hit consistent putts.

Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying a used Putter, here's what to look for:

✔️ There are no cracks in the shaft.
✔️ There are no cracks in the club head.
✔️ There is no rust on the club face.
✔️ There are no dents on the sole of the club.
✔️ The hosel is not loose, and the head does not rotate.
✔️ Putters traditionally had a very basic flat face. However, modern Putters may incorporate an insert. 
✔️ Inspect Putter faces for damage or missing inserts.
