Golf Putters - Page 63

Putter length is generally measured by the distance from the golfer’s palms to the ground. Men’s putters are mostly found in 34” and 35,” while women’s putters are standard at 33." Most golfers will be able to use shorter lengths than what is considered "standard."

Putter types vary based on the shape and size of the head, with mallet and blade being the most common. Finding the right putter type for your stroke can be crucial to finding consistency on the green.

As shown here:

Blade Putters: These traditional putters have a simple, blade-shaped head. They offer a classic look and feel, and are often preferred by golfers who value precision and touch.

Mallet Putters: These putters have a larger, mallet-shaped head. They provide increased stability and forgiveness on off-center hits. The larger head also helps with alignment.

Peripheral-Weighted Putters: These putters have weight distributed around the perimeter of the head, creating a higher Moment of Inertia (MOI). This design promotes stability and forgiveness, making it easier to hit consistent putts.
