Golf Tip: Putters

When you are going through the putting woes, sometimes all that is necessary is to change the style of putter. If normally you are using a 34" putter, go to a 36" putter. If you are using a flat putter, go to an upright putter. If you are using a blade, go to a mallet. Allow the putter to dictate how you are going to stand to the ball as well; the configuration and size of the grip allows you to change your hands on that club. Indeed, sometimes the putter changes the stroke by the length of the shaft, the lie of the club, the overall weight of the club and the grip dimension. Therefore; in this change of the stroke, you have a new sensation and your old sensation that has caused the missed putts vanishes very quickly. The old adage to stay with the same putter and therefore miss putts is foolish. With today's technology and materials there is a wide choice. For those who never get it to the hole, you want to go to a little harder putter, and for those who are a little more with the feel, a softer putter would be in order. Alignment of the blade is crucial on all putts and some putts offer an easier alignment configuration to your eye.

So the next time you are having putting woes, go into the pro shop, take 4 or 5 completely different styles of putters out to the putting green, let the style of the putter dictate your style of stance and stroke and you might just buy not just a new putter, but a new stroke that works even better than your old one.

Best of Luck,

Mike Calbot
