Length<br />
To fi t the player for correct putter length, have him assume his address position without a club, with his<br />
eyes over the ball and his arms hanging naturally, in a position where he can move his shoulders and<br />
his arms in a connected and pendulum-like motion. The correct length is whatever fi ts naturally into<br />
this stance. Standard putter lengths vary from 33 to 35 inches, however some players may crouch more,<br />
dictating a shorter shaft, or stand taller, dictating a longer shaft.<br />
Remember that putting set-ups and styles vary greatly from player to player. It’s up to you to recommend<br />
whether he will benefi t from a length similar to what he’s been using, or whether he’ll make a better<br />
stroke and improve his putting by switching to something longer or shorter.<br />
Grip<br />
The style of the putter grip is mostly a matter of player preference. However, grip size can affect stroke<br />
mechanics. Players interested in minimizing their wrist action should try a thicker grip. Players who tend to<br />
block the release of the putterhead, leaving the face open at impact, can activate their wrist action with a<br />
smaller grip diameter.<br />
