These provide the most forgiveness on the greens due to their larger head size. The various mallet styles of putter heads which come in all different sizes of big or small backs are found in either moderately toe balanced and face balanced styles of putters. These offer extreme precision and accuracy but suffer by providing little forgiveness. The traditional anser/blade style of putter tends to mostly be in the format of a toe weighted balanced style of putter. Having identified the most suited balance of putter, this will mostly dictate which head shape best suits you. Confirming which is the most appropriate putter balance will certify a purer and more accurate putting stroke by enabling the ball to stay on its target line. These golfers tend to stroke the ball on an ark and so with the weight being situated in the toe, this helps steer the toe back onto the correct club path at impact. This is tailored for the golfer who stands more upright and away from the ball while executing their stroke. At the other end of the scale the slanted and s-neck styles have the weight positioned in the toe of the putter head. The evenly distributed weighted head therefore promotes the club face to stay in line at impact. The double and single bend putters possess a face balanced weighted head which suits the golfer who tends to position the majority of his upper body over the ball and therefore has a straight back and forth stroke. The purpose of these different styles is to cater for all styles of putting strokes. The neck options available are in the form of a double bend, single bend, slight slant neck, s-neck and an advanced toe hang slant. Putters are available in different styled necks which dictate the different weight balances of the putters. Depending on a player’s visual position when over the ball at address, we would then be able to access which balanced putter would best suit the golfer. Once a player’s putter length has been decided, we would then place a golfer onto a mirrored putting board.

Overall, identifying the correct length not only enables a golfer to deliver the best possible stroke, but while also being fixed into a comfortable setup position.

While in most cases the length of putter is to do with a player’s height, in certain scenarios a taller player may be best suited with a shorter putter if for example they bend extremely over the ball when taking to their putting posture and vice versa. This will predominantly suit the majority of golfers, however if someone is a lot taller, then it is recommended to go up to the 35 inch length putter and ultimately if they are a lot smaller then to go down to 33 inches.
