Putter Length

[Scrindle]

Hi all,

Did a search but couldn't find anything.

Clearly this would depend upon putting stance (and I appreciate there are quite a few 'odd' ones out there, from a traditional perspective), but is there any way a 31" putter might be suitable for someone that is 5' 10" tall?

Thanks!

I'm 5-9 and I cut my putters down to 32". Have been doing this for last 4 years and putting has improved to now be one of my stronger areas

Think David Howell uses a 32" and he's around the 6' 2" mark

I'm 6ft and was fitted for a 33" in 2012.

Thanks both.

Tempted to blind buy a forged putter from eBay by sniping it. Not much general interest in it from the looks of it - I suspect because it's been cut quite short and would need to be reshafted to be lengthened.

You wouldn't need to reshafted it. Any club pro would be able to add a little shaft extension to whatever length is required. Once grip is on you wouldn't even know it had been altered

There was a small group following him as he was well down the field. So it was easy to get up close and see the shots he was playing. Hoping to see him have a few good results yet this year

It's all about preference. Get it and try it. If it doesn't work, get it extended which is a simple job for any club pro to do

After prolonged trial and error, 32" suits me perfectly. I'm 5'9".

Thanks all. I didn't realise it was that easy to lengthen a putter shaft!

I'll pick it up then, happy days.

I'm 6'1" and I use a 31" putter, gets me noodle right over the ball

Similar. I'm 5' 11" and I've just got a new putter that is 31" and it's perfect for me.

Depends on how long your arms are really, if your like an orangutan then shorter is good, if your arms are like a t Rex then longer will be better.as long as your eyes are over the ball.
