It totally depends on how you setup to the ball (bent-over or upright), and the length of your arms...

I've putted pretty well with putters ranging from 33" to 39" long.

I'm 6'5", but have 6'9" arms.

I'm 6'6".  Have always used a 35" putter, but recently had a Ping belly putter cut down to 39" and I use it as a "normal" putter (not anchoring it).  I'm much more comfortable with it and my putting has gotten significantly better.  I also had a SuperStroke 3.0 grip put on it to accommodate my big hands.  I always felt cramped and hunched with the 35" putter and would get serious back pain during long practice sessions - the 39" putter allows me to assume a much more comfortable stance.

If there's a golf store near you, try and find a Cleveland "Almost Belly" at 39 inches and just see where it feels natural for you to put your hands on the grip. If you're well down the shaft, then a standard 35 inch putter is probably fine. If not, maybe you need an extension. Or an "Almost Belly."

    • Day 6 (6 Jun 26) - Spent time w/7i, hard foam balls and Divot Board….hit around 20 balls - focusing on impact zone and face position at impact based on club impact track.  Used the drill to control tempo as well.  
    • I can't get my playing partners to play anything but stroke play.  1 time we played foursome, foreball, and stroke play.  That was the last day.   They only want to play stroke play.
    • I think it is “what we grew up with” is what we gravitate to,
    • Most gloves are white, and most grips are black. Just take a look at the palm of your glove after a few rounds, and you will see why cleaning your grips on a regular basis is a good idea. Can even make your glove last longer. Not just dirt, but a lot of the rubber compounds in the grip shed the black colorant over time, and ends up embedded in your glove.
    • Foundation Session 4: I seemed to have a good (high swing speed) session today.  One thing was very different from prior and I am curious if that impacted it. All prior sessions were on grass.  Because of heavy rain last night I did not want to swing on my grass so I laid out my putting felt on my drive and stood on it for the session.  I had several “New Record Speed” with all weights. Q: Could being on a hard concrete surface instead of grass contributed to faster swings?
