In 6 more months my son will have his 1st birthday and aside from all the toys I'm sure he's likely to get...I'd like to get him a nice lightweight short putter. Even if he never uses it...or if he uses it destructively and I have to take it away...it's still something I really want him to have.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking something around 15". I noticed most toddler putters are still around 28" which I think is ridiculous because an average putter size for adults are usually 34".

I've seen really short ones.  I had one less than 20 inches when my son and God kids were little.  I found it at Play it Again Sports.  Check places like that if you have them in your area.  the putter head was smaller too.

I think that's where Robert Garigos got his little putter. Or maybe it was Toys Are Us. (Just joking).

Crim - I got my daughter a plastic set ($3 at Walmart) when she was 1. She couldn't really do more than just wildly swing at furniture, toys, legs, etc. until she was 3. At that point I picked up a real kids set, and it wasn't until this past winter that she could make contact consistently (she turns 5 in a month). Every kid is different, but my experience was that a plastic or Nerf set is the way to go when they're that little.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
