Determining Your Putter Length For Your Own Club
The Basic Types of Putters Although there are literally hundreds of varieties of putters out there, there are basically just three categories of putters to choose from. These include: the conventional putter, the belly putter, and the long putter (sometimes called the broomstick putter). So which one of these putter lengths is right for you? Here are some tips to get you on the right track when it comes to different putting lengths. The Conventional Putter - Who Should Use this One? The conventional putter is basically the most common and popular type of putter. It has been around the longest. Most golf pro instructors recommend that if you can use a conventional putter and it seems to work for you, then that is the one you should choose. When using a conventional putter, it is pretty easy to get into the right position, simply take your normal, relaxed stance and lean forward slightly. Your gaze should fall just over the line of your putt. Next, let your arms hang loosely at your side. Bring your palms together and you are ready to play with your conventional putter. However, there are some golfers who just will not benefit from the use of a conventional putter. Who will not benefit from the use of conventional putter? Those who find themselves suffering from excessive wrist movement, or the so-called nervous tic, will generally want to avoid the use of the conventional putter. Who Should Use a Belly Putter? When might it be helpful to use a belly putter? Those golfers who feel that they need a third point of contact, so to speak, most often use the belly putter. This means that the belly putter should end up being between the golfer's abdomen and the player. Many golfers swear by the belly putter because they say that it helps them keep their balance and that it helps them increase stability. Why do so many swear by the belly putter? The belly putter apparently helps to anchor the player's stance and grip because the abdomen helps to anchor the player's grip. What About the Long Putters? There are other golfers, however, who swear by the long putters. These are also known as the broomstick putters. The long putter is thought to put the stroke into a swing that is pendulum-like. This means that using a long putter will make you eliminate most of your wrist movement. Who else might benefit from the use of long putter? Besides those who want increased wrist control, those with aching backs or tight lower back muscles may also benefit from the use of long putters. But what are the drawbacks to using a long putter? In general, some people prefer not to use long putters because they say that long putters tend to produce less feedback. Other problem that may be related to the long putter is a problem controlling distance. However, if you really want to take wrist action out of game, you will probably want to opt for a long putter. |
