Putter length

[PINGELI]

Just wondering what putter length you guys use. I was just fitted for a new putter yesterday (Ping Craz-e i series). I ended up getting fitted with a 34" model (standard lie and loft, with a midsize grip). My old putter was an odyssey tri-ball srt (currently for sale on ebay) 36". I am 6'2" and was pleasantly surprised when the guy at the shop (a professional, not some clown kid in a retail store) recommended I go shorter. The putter should be here in about 2 weeks (can't wait).

have others on this forum gone to a shorter length putter?

I started a thread about this a couple of months ago. basiclly it comes down to personal preferance. I'm 6 foot and play a 35". I don't really like bending over to much, it starts to hurt my back after awhile. I'm amazed at Phil Mickelsons putter, it must be like 30" and puttting knee high.

My putter is just a hair under 33 inches, closer to 32.75 in fact. I am 5'11 fwiw.

[PINGELI]

Yeah, I read that Phil's putter is 33.5" long. I am the same height as Phil.

Lyle, I sent you a PM a couple days ago. Please respond when it's convenient

I bet you are!

5'9 to be honest

I tried a 34" and just couldn't get comforable over it. I'm 6'1". I also putt from a more upright position and have straight back and through stroke.

I use a 34". I am 5'10", but I stand very upright when I putt.

[Pa Jayhawk]

33" at 6'1"

I have always heard the most common mistake for most golfers is a putter that is too long.

That's what guys with short putters all say.

About 6'2" here and 35" on all my putters.

5' 9" and a 33" putter. I like to stand over the ball with my elbows out and feel the putter hanging down.

6'0" and I use a 34" putter. Just changed from 35", and I'm putting better after the switch.

5'10", 33" putter. I like to curse at the putter when I feel the ball come off the toe, or I turn it over into the stroke and pull a putt. The 33" length lets me know that the putterhead is plenty close enough to hear my verbal mockery.
