Putter Fitting

More strokes are lost to a mismatched putter than most golfers realize, since length and lie angle rarely get checked once a putter leaves the store shelf.

What We Capture

Your Stroke Path Decides the Fit, Not a Chart

The putting bench uses a dedicated stroke-path capture rig to map arc versus straight-back- straight-through tendencies, along with setup posture and eye position over the ball. Face balance and toe hang are matched to that stroke shape rather than assumed from your grip style alone.

Length and lie are checked last, once the stroke shape and face balance decisions are settled, so posture doesn't have to compensate for a putter that's the wrong size.

The Variables

What We Check on the Putting Bench

Face Balance & Toe Hang

A face-balanced head suits a straighter stroke path; more toe hang generally complements a stronger arc. Matching the wrong one can fight your natural stroke every time.

Length & Lie Angle

Either one being off forces a posture compensation that changes eye position over the ball, which quietly affects start line on every putt.

Head Weight & Counterbalance

Total head weight and any counterbalanced grip setup are tuned together, since changing one without the other shifts swing feel more than most golfers expect.

Grip Size & Shape

Larger grips tend to quiet excess hand action for golfers who fight a handsy stroke; smaller grips preserve more feel for players who putt well with feedback.

Stop Guessing on the Green

Putter sessions run 45–60 minutes on the stroke-path capture rig, indoors, rain or shine.
