Buying a Putter

photo credit: idovermani   It seems like every week they’re coming out with a new putter design and if you’re in the market for one, your head is spinning.  Follow the tips below:

No. 1)  Get fitted.  You don’t wear clothes that are too small or large, so why use a putter that is too short or long?  The length of your putter should be no longer than the point at which your hands grip the club (while they are hanging down naturally).  No. 2)  Putt with both blade AND mallet-head putters.  Decide which one feels right and also looks right to you.  No. 3)  Try the belly putters and long putters also.  No. 4)  After you’ve made the purchase, have your alignment checked and the putter adjusted to it.  Good Luck !
