Is Your Putter Style Hurting Your Game?
Many golfers struggle with consistency on the greens, often blaming their stroke. But sometimes, it's the putter style that's holding you back. Are you using the right putter for your natural stroke? Let's dive into how to find the best fit for your game.
Straight Stroke or Arced?
To start, determine your stoke path. Do you naturally make a straight-back-straight-through motion, or do you prefer a slight arc? Use masking tape or alignment rods to visualize your stroke. Another helpful tip: consider the speed of the greens you play - faster greens often suit lighter putters.
Choosing the Right Putter Style
Once you know your stroke, choose the right putter:
- Face-balanced putters are ideal for a straight-back-straight-through stroke.
- Putters with moderate-to-high toe-hang work well for arced strokes
- Putters with a high MOI provide versatility, aiding both straight and arced strokes.
Don't Forget Length, Lie, and Loft
If you're hitting off-center, it might be due to improper length, lie, or loft. Here's a quick check: spray foot powder on the face and see where the impact marks are. If they're consistent but off-center, your fit needs adjustment.
Final Thought
For the best results, get a professional club fitting to ensure your putter matches your stroke.
