Putter Fitting
Putting Facts:
- Your putter is the most important club in your golf bag.
- Your putter is the most used club in your bag.
- On the worlds best tours the average amount of putts per round is 28. That is approximately 43% of all the shots they hit are used with a putter.
Here at Clays we are passionate about getting players to putt better, that's why we have invested in the Vertex putting system (we are the 2nd company in the UK to have this system).
Utilising 3 slow motion digital cameras we are able to film you the player from face on, and down the line, we also film the ball as it leaves the putter face. The data is processed via a computer and displays the amount of 'skid' on the ball, the angle it has launched at and how hard you are hitting the putt. We can then recommend any necessary alterations to the putter loft or design.
Do you have a face balanced putter, 1/2 toes hang, or full toe hang type of putter?
Most players don't know which 'type' of putter they should have. You SHOULD have the correct type to suit your stroke, if you don't this can cause you to miss putts either on the left or on the right. It can also cause you problems with distance putts.
Fact: Most peoples putters are too long.
If your putter is too long it will cause you to adopt an incorrect posture, your eyes may well not be over the ball at address resulting in poor aim. Or, your arms may not be hanging correctly resulting in excessive wrist action.
We can alter the following ensuring your putter works.
- Length
- Lie Angle
- Loft Angle
- Grip Size
- Swing Weight/Putter Balance
- Total Putter Weight
