I'm barely 5'7 and I ordered a 35" putter. Pings website recommended it as I tend to have an upright stance. However, I'm so new to the game I'm just not sure yet. At least I can cut the shaft if I need to.

I'm 6'1 1/2" and use a 36" putter.

BTW. Even with exactly the same stance two people of the same height might need different length putters because our legs are different lengths and our arms are different lengths. My son is about the same height as I am and his arms hang down almost 3 inches lower than mine when we are standing erect.

6-1" tall, 34" putter. Use to have a 35" putter but I would stand to up right and it would cause issues.

Totally agree with this. Same thing happensa with my son. We are same height bit his arms are longer than mine.

I'm 5'9" and use 34 inch putter

5-10 and have a 35" putter.  But I plan on cutting it down to 33.5 or even 33.

Your height matters, but your putting style and stance matter a good bit more.

This.

I'm 5'7" and got on great with a 32" putter for ages but as soon as I opted for a different putting style the 32" became too short and was swapped out for a 34" which is ideal.

5'11" and use 35" putters - hurts my ailing back to use anything shorter

Same here. I thought about getting a Long putter, but then decided against it.

Not to be funny, but do you have short arms, or is it your style that dictates a 35.5"..?

6' 2" and I use a 36" standard lie putter. I prefer a more upright stance when putting, and I'm considering building a putter to 38-39 inches.
