Putter Length... How tall are you?

[MSB256]

I have been using a 35" cameron red x, and I'm about to sell it and upgrade to a fastback.

I notice sometimes that I scrub the ground with my red x, therefore I choke way down on it. I'm not sure if I choke down on it because it helps me not scrub the ground or if it's because I like my right hand to hang off the grip and actually hold the shaft to get more feel.

I know I have a straight back and straight through putting stroke. So without getting fitted is there a typical length putter for a certain height? I was leaning towards a 34 this time but if I do wanna hold the shaft I'll have to bend my back further over as to where I can stand up straighter with a 35... but I thought the 35 was too long. Any suggestions?

How tall are you and how long is your putter? I'm 5'9 or 5'10 and I'm about to make an investment in a putter that I plan on using for many years to come. Any opinions are welcomed and appreciated.

I'm 6'4" and use a 35" putter. It's a little short for me, so my next putter I'll make sure to get the right length. (Anyone know if you can special order a Cameron at 36"?)
I would go for a putter fitting. The lie may need to be adjusted a bit. I know that many if not all putters can have this done pretty easily. If you are scraping by the heel of the putter, then you'd need a flatter angle. A more upright angle if the toe is scraping. If you get properly fit, you should get the exact length and lie that fits you and your stroke. As far as I know, there is no real formula for this since everyone's stroke is different. Just try different lengths and get what's most comfortable.

[Chilli Dipper]

At 5'10" (but quoted at 5'11"), I use a 35" putter, but I'm on the market for a 34" or even 33".

[PuterPutter]

I am 5'10" and just got a 35 inch putter. I stand more erect and it allows me
to view the line of the putt much better.

[CG031]

I'm 5'7" and I use a 33". Seems to work well.

[Jay-Bird]

I'm 5'8" in golf shoes. I use a 33" putter. It's perfect, even when I'm not.

[RocketSauce]

5-11, 34"

[Bourbon and Coke]

6'3", 35" putter

[beachbreak]

5'11", 35" but I choke down on it.

[Spackler-esque]

5'11"-6' depending on who measures and I use a 35" putter. My next putter will probably be a 34". Longerish arms.

Yeah, I'd have to say you may even want to go 33". If you are of course, 5'9" and not 5'10". I read in Tiger's

How I Play book that he says to have everything loose, arms dangling from shoulders. Using that theory, I'm 5'10" and use a 34", I'd almost like to go 33.5" just to try.

I'm 6'1" and use a 33" newport 2.0

My arms aren't insanely long or anything, I just find it more comfortable.
