The easiest way to choose the right putter length is based on your height, which works for most golfers:
- If you’re taller than 6 feet, a 35-inch putter will usually fit best.
- If you’re shorter than 5'6", a 33-inch putter is likely the better option.
- For most golfers in between, a 34-inch putter is a great middle ground.
This simple approach will work well for most people. However, if you want to get more precise, consider your posture and putting style:
- The ideal length lets you stand comfortably with your eyes over the ball, with your arms hanging naturally.
- The right length should also suit your stroke type—whether you prefer a straight-back, straight-through stroke or a slight arc.
If you're still unsure, a professional putter fitting can help you determine the perfect length for your unique setup.
