Putter fitting has evolved into a specialized discipline, with golfers spending significant money to find the perfect match. But the two most common fitting problems don’t require an expensive session with a specialist — you can diagnose and fix them yourself.
The root of most putter fitting issues comes down to shaft length. Roughly 80% of the golfers we work with are using putters that are too long, which creates two setup problems that silently undermine their stroke.
The good news? You can identify this issue on your own — and correct it by cutting the putter shaft down to the right length.

We emphasize getting the shaft aligned with the forearms, but alignment alone doesn’t guarantee a good position.
You could align the shaft with your forearms while bent dramatically at the waist with your elbows flared out, or while standing bolt upright. Just because the alignment is technically there doesn’t mean your setup is actually functional.
