I was already planning on posting this thread and then I read various comments about putter length that made me even more curious.

What is the length of your putter? If you don't mind, I'd also be curious as to how tall you are. I'm 5'9" and my putter is 34". I'm actually contemplating taking another half inch/inch off of it but am worried about making it too short.

I'm 6'3 and my putter is 34".

I think arm length is more of a determinant than total height. Some people like to let their arms hang down and swing freely. Others like to bend their elbows during their stroke. Whatever works best.

Striper: I totally agree. It was more curiousity than anything else. Plus, it's hard for me to ask how long your arms are, bent, hanging, etc. Guess I didn't want the question to be too complex

5'10" or so and 33". If I am forced to use a 34" putter (which, from Scotty Cameron, has a head that weighs 10 grams less), I grip down about an inch.

1. WS #8872 mallet
2. WS Kirk Currie KC1 (3 adjustable head weights. And butt weight options)

I'm 5'6" as well and use a 34". My putting has been awful the past two weeks so I think I may be going to a belly putter over the winter if it doesn't improve in the next couple months./

I was already planning on posting this thread and then I read various comments about putter length that made me even more curious.

I'm 6'4'' and I had mine extended to 37 inches. Hunching over the putter kept me from relaxing, and led to some really ugly scores on the greens. I don't choke down at all.

I'm 5'10" and use a 33" putter. Something just felt right when I tried it against 34-35" putters of the same type.

35" at the moment, I find it comfortable but I've been advised to cut it to about 32" because apparently it will make me a much better putter.

im 6'1 and just 3 inches off my putter and had it regripped. it was a 35" and i feel a lot more cofortable now that i can use the grip with both hands instead of just my left. my right hand was on the shaft before i had it cut. i like the height better but i miss the weight, i may add some with lead tape, where should it be added to a small mallet style putter like my Odyssey dual force 330?

I'm 5'8" and use a 31.75 inch putter. I went to the store and let my arms hang to comfortable length with my eyes over the ball and that was the perfect length. I would recommend getting fit for a putter because angle and length can have a great effect on your putting and that's almost half your strokes.

I'm 5'7 and use a 35' putter. However I like to stand tall and have lowered my putting average by three a round since I swapped from my 33' putter.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
