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.

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.

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 have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      Struggling With Volatility

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
