Putter fitting

[raj]

I was hoping someone in the Windsor area had experience with a putter fitter recently?

I am looking at getting a new putter, but want to get it fit so I know I working with the right lie/ length etc. I am not to bothered about brand (i.e. whatever gets the job done best will go in the bag).

I have seen the Cleveland classic range and like the look and feel, but Cleveland UK don't do putter fittings.

Anyone have any good experiences in the area?

Thanks!

Have you contacted the Cleveland fitting centre at Maidenhead Golf Centre? I know Hawkeye got a new putter from Lavender Park and went through some kind of fitting although how technical it was I don't know. If you aren't fusseed about brand, Odyssey are only at Chessington so not too far away and they definitely do fittings across their whole range

Raj, I recently purchased a ping I cradle for this very reason, tried it with all three putters I had and got the same consistent result, my putter was wrong for my stroke.

I took the ping recommendations, then looked at other putters in the same spec, now using a Cleveland vp1 milled and its proving to be a worthwhile move. Lag putting is still a work in progress but from six feet I'm holing almost everything!

First, thanks for the replies.

I rang Cleveland HQ and they said they don't officially fit putters at any centers, not very good in my opinion.

I didn't know Odyssey were in Chessington! Do they do milled face putters? That is the only thing I would definitely like to try after swinging a Cleveland and Scotty with milled face. Either way, I will look into it

What is a ping cradle? will have a quick google but personal experience appreciated!

You mean like these. http://intl.odysseygolf.com/global/en-gb/products/putters/protype-tour-series.html I use the #9 and love it. Silvermere have a good range in stock which is relatively local

Works with a free app foot your iPhone or iPod touch, you basically putt with it attached to your shaft and it measures different aspects of your stroke then fits you for a putter in the ping range
