I’m in the market for a new putter. The more I’ve researched I’ve only gotten more confused. Toe Hang, face balanced, arc path... I just want to putt the ball. 

Mid spending $100 on putter fitting worth it? How much will it really help? Doesn’t the average person change their swing based on “how it should be done” in front of any instructor or pro?

I don’t think you’d fool a good fitter. Like you said, you’ve gotten confused so I’d recommend a fitter take care if it. Probably well worth the cost.

What most people find, when they go to a fitting, they aren't aiming at the hole.   What they think is straight is usually off by a few degrees.    If you want an eye opener, grab a small mirror, attach it to your putter and a pencil laser.   You'll be surprised.   In my opinion, a putter fitting is a smart investment.

I'd spend the money on a fitting.  You can pick up a used putter based off the fitting for under $100 too.  So $200 spent this way will be better than $200 on a used driver.

Very happy I got fit for my Edel Putter.  I suck at putting, but at least I know it isn't the equipment.

    • Day 8 (8 May 25) - Rinse, repeat of yesterday’s drill session with the subbing of the 54 in lieu of the 7i and of course real balls (kept the shots to less than 30yds).  Made a total of about 40 swings focusing again on the palming of the trail hand to get a smooth swing thru.  Side bar drill - after school the grandson asked me to chip foam balls for him to hit with his plastic bat (two fold drill - I get to really focus on a target window (and I had to really focus) and he gets to work on swing timing - and he was killing it)….
    • Hmmm. This will probably suck.
    • I can definitely tell the difference in stability. Hitting putts down a yardstick is WAY easier with the heavier options. I think everyone’s comments have solidified the need to at least browse for a new putter 😄. 
    • Day 1: Putting start lines using a yardstick. 
    • 100% go get fitted. If your ball speed and spin is too low, you will need clubs to compensate for you.  Most set ups are like Driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, irons, wedges or Driver, 3-wood, hybrid, irons, wedges. For people who struggle with distance, I would say something like Driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, 7-wood or hybrid, hybrid, irons, wedges are good because woods and hybrids really help get good gaps. I think people with higher swing speeds like long irons more. That could be more personal preference.  I like woods and hybrids over long irons. I have never been a good long iron player. I have been thinking of revamping my bag to be more like... Driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, 7-wood (maybe hybrid) and make 5 iron my longest iron. It has been the longest iron I hit the most consistent. When I was using Game Golf years ago, my 4 iron average distance was about my 5 iron distance because of all the mishits.  There is that as well, just tracking which clubs you like to use. My dad has like 2 fairway woods and 2 hybrids. They are designed to help get the ball in the air and land softly.
