Putter Length

[sona]

I am 5 '7" tall and have cut all but my current putter down to 32" which feels right for me. My current Yes putter is still 34" and having seen a number of players putting with bent arms which I am trying at the moment rather than cut it down immediatly.

I have been wondering what length of putter others use for their height?

 

[backwoodsman]

Me 5'9" - currently got a Yes Valerie @30". Always struggled with anything longer than 30" -

Why are you trying to putt with bent arms?

 

[El Bandito]

5'9". Currently use a 32". Pondering a 31". I tend to crouch a bit and find longer putters awkward.

 

[Fader]

I'm a short arse at 5'6", I use a 34".

The current putter i'm using was a belly putter until I cut it down recently, the weight is superb because of the heavier head belly putters have. I never find the length causes me to put with bent arms as i find by allowing my arms to hang naturally and relaxed at address allows to be straight but free from tension, if I went with a shorter putter I'd be bending over the ball to much and cause to much strain on my back

I'm 5'9" and have just moved from a 33" to a 34" putter and find it suits me better. My posture with the 33" meant I was hunched over quite a bit, where as the 34 just feels a lot more natural.

Why are you trying to putt with bent arms?

While waiting for new grip and having seen others putting without having their arms straight, so I have tried it. Second hand putters always seem to be std. 34/35" long, not everyone can be tall.

Are your elbows tucked in to your body or do they stick out to the side?

6' 0" ...... 29" and another 33", both are good.

Tucked in, been practicing with my V-Easy.

 

[GreiginFife]

6' and had all manner of putters from 29-35". Makes no difference, I'm rubbish with all of them

If you're bent over a 34" like Jack Nicklaus, then your either 6'12 or you putt with your elbows out?

 

[bladeplayer]

[Piece]

6'2" and 33". Elbows not tucked in or out really.

5ft 11 and 3/4's


the right elbow pops out a bit for long putts!

 

[TheClaw]

6'1" (35" wrist to floor). Use a 34" putter. Elbows close to body, bit of a flex in the elbows.
