Get a putter that’s the right length

SIMON DADDOW

PING says that eight out of 10 golfers are using the wrong length putter. PING’s Tour players use putters between 32 and 36 inches, yet putters are traditionally sold in either 34in or 35in lengths, so it’s not surprising so many of us get it wrong. The wrong length putter makes it difficult to putt consistently, as putts will often be hit off centre which leads to not only distance control issues but accuracy problems, too. Factor in how you use the putter more often than any other club and you can see why it’s so important to get it right.
