I know this video is old but wanted to thank you for the time you took to make it . After a long fight with putting I finally found this post and purchased the "right" kind of putter . It has helped a lot . Thanks again !!!
Great Video, thanks. You mention the various degrees of balance in the face, however it doesn't make suggestions as to why someone would choose different face balances?
On the market for a Scotty. First time having something so expensive. I was at golftown and was draining them like crazy. I noticed then the holes all fell toward the middle of the cup. So they sell putters obviously. This was an extremely helpful video.
Every club that I felt fit me had the right heft and the right length shaft. To me, these are the two most important factors for fitting any club to my game. I think for putters, the right weight and length of shaft are even more important because of the precision required in making a putt.
Great video...how much weight do you put on the putter fitting rule of having more toe weighting for the more arc your stroke has? I watch PGA players all the time, and I don't see have severe arc motions, which would by conventional wisdom eliminate the use of toe hang putters. I have a fairly straight stroke, almost outside-in, and used a heel shafted putter which is obviously toe hang, based on your video, and it felt like the best fit.
GREAT VIDEO! - I put with an old school Probe 20/20 and I learned to use it quite nicely I cut it to 34" and put a Super Stroke Slim 3.0 on it and it's awesome :)
Jonatan Medina hey bro when are we playing? Give me a call I'll PM you my number if you don't have it yet! BTW check out my Facebook. I'm going to put pictures of my Scotty Cameron collections on
Great video. I am just getting back into the game after many years off. I was just actually looking at my stroke today. I am looking for a new putter so perfect time to find this video. Keep up the great work.
Hi, I really liked this video. Especially the part about selecting a putter based on where the shaft is aligned with the blade. Would you say that is more important than the common philosophy that the toe hang is proportional to the arc of the stroke? I ask because the angle from my shoulders to the target line is greater than 13 degrees, and your recommendation that would be suited for a heel shafted putter. I tried it and it seemed to make sense. But I have a fairly straight back, left hand dominant stroke and a heel shafted putter would have a huge toe hang. So conventional advice would be to not use it. Thanks!!!
Very interesting video. Could probably fit myself now instead of paying to have it done. Question regarding the angle from the hole to your shoulders and what putter fits best depending on that angle...couldn't I take my current putter and adjust the lie angle to compensate for that shaft angle? Or is there a difference between the lie angle and where the shaft intersects the head?
+Trevor King Yes, the lie angle will help the putter lie flush to the putting surface where the point in which the shaft intersects the head will determine the swing arc amount and "toe droop" of the head.
Nobody ever talks about left hander issues..ie: lack of availability in putters & golf clubs in general. I have wanted to buy a Scotty Cameron ‘Squareback’ but I understand that it is not made for left handlers. In fact they only make 2 left handed models out of about a dozen right handed models. This is typical of all manufacturers. I understand that the there has been a financial reason in the past but with the with today’s manufacturing process, I would think it would be easier & cheaper to do. Then they can maybe start to earn an additional couple of percent profit to!!!!!! Signed Frustrated Lefty
This seems like something you could be able to sue for in todays crazy times. #Lefthandersmatter For real, though, that would drive me crazy, I take for granted being a righty. good luck
According to the video I need a putter that’s slightly inside shaft with a 0 shaft offset (left hand dominant) and 33 inches which model should I be looking at to try? Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks!
nice video, its interesting cuz from what your saying im definetley using the wrong style putter for my stoke. I have a half moon putter with no offset and my stroke is from in to slightly out. The thing is I kind of manipulate the face and make it work. So I would probably benefit and putt more naturally with a full shaft offset putter, I have always liked the odyssey 2 ball putters.
+chris chambers putting is so personal and revolves so much around confidence... when I fit people into putters the first question I alway ask when I hand them one is "how does it look" because if they don't feel confident at address then chances are it's not going to work out for them... definitely give this a shot, the goal is to use your "muscle memory" and not try and construct a putting stroke around a putter. Thanks for the comment!
What about weight and type of sight lines? Are those more of a personal preference? Also, what about face-balanced versus hang as far as type of stroke?
WEIGHT ??? - You or Bruce didn't mention weight, i.e. "Overall Weight", "Head Weight" and "Swingweight". What are Bruce's thoughts regarding these parameters? - Thx, RYR
I have an alignment problem with my Evnroll ER7. I align the putter directly at the hole. Then, I have someone turn on a laser level that reveals the line on the putter is actually aiming slightly left of the hole. I also see this when using a "Putting Stick" aid. I know the ball hit correctly rolls straight in the hole down the Putting stick. The putter looks like I am aiming slightly left of the hole even when my eyes are verified over or slightly inside the ball. I have no idea what would fix this.....toe hang, offset... no idea.
Awesome video as always! Keep up the good work. I especially enjoyed the one you did on the fake Scotty Cameron's. I recently begun collecting them and it's really helped out find some fake stuff out there in eBay land
Hey I know this is kind of old but do u know when he posted the blogs about knowing the right putter for yourself. So u can basically get yourself fitted. Thanks for the great video.
Super content! btw: you maybe can reach more viewers if you call it "how to find the right putter for your putting stroke" because people search for "how to" more often than the words you use ;)
Don't fool for the name. Try a putter in shop.any model any shape. It's all about feel. A 9 handicapper won our society. He uses a crazy golf putter to prove the point. Good luck either way. 👍
1. Which hand is supposed to be measured to determine the correct shaft length for a putter? The narrator appears to be right-handed yet points to his left hand as the hand to be measured. Well, lots of players putt cross-handed (notably Jordan Speith), so which hand is the measuring standard; the low hand on the grip, or the high hand? 2. Statistically, 70% of amateur golfers left-pull their putt misses regardless of whether their putting arc is inside-out, outside-in, or back-and-thru, which suggests that deliberately building different off-sets into putters is just OEM myth-marketing. 3. So long as the OEM's build putters with the center-of-gravity inside or outside, or below or above the shaft-line intersecting the center-strike of the putter face, they will be able to sell 'new' models every year which do not actually perform better than young Lee Trevino hustling rich country club Texans using a Coke bottle tied to the end of a broom stick. 4. There is no center-balanced (lie-angle) putter ever discussed in this video, yet they are famous for having zero torque-twist compared to all other toe- and face-balanced putters in this video. All toe-balanced and face-balanced putters that the OEM's sell to us every new year wobble like a drunken sailor as they fight against gravity going into impact. 5. There are millions of golfers with millions of possible putting methods, but what seems to be missing is the one-time-purchase putter which serves everyone best for an entire lifetime: center-shafted (entirely legal), center-balanced (again, legal), 80 degree lie (it's legal, 81 or more is not), 3 degree loft, and 400+ grams in head-weight. Oh, and because four inch long putters is un-necessary extra cost, a three inch putter (again, completely legal; the ball is only 1.62 inches wide) would lower the cost to the player and still offer a center-strike surface that is 15 to 20 times larger than what is needed. The OEMs don't offer such a lifetime putter because they need the revenues from selling the next year's 'new' off-set model...and the next year's 'new' heel shaft...and the next year's 'new' insert....
I thought this was going to be a great video but felt like you left some parts out. You talk about what hand was dominant but not what that helps you determine. Also, you talk about the hang if it’s face balanced slight toe hang etc but only talked about strokes and where the offset was? Maybe that goes hand in hand just want some clarification thanks!
Might want to give it a second watch... here is the part where I talk about how to determine your dominant hand - ruclips.net/video/JfrJKKjpsDc/видео.html
That was the most straight forward explanation I have seen!
Everything makes so much sense now! Awesome vid!
This is the easiest and straight forward explanation I've seen regarding this along with being full of useful information.
I know this video is old but wanted to thank you for the time you took to make it . After a long fight with putting I finally found this post and purchased the "right" kind of putter . It has helped a lot . Thanks again !!!
Thanks for watching!
Good advice with great ideas to give us a great start to pick putter thanks
Finally a great video on putting. Thanks guys...
Appreciated!
I'm actually a newbie to the sport and looking to purchase my first putter so this helps me out. Great video.
what type putter should i use with a slight arc from inside to inside,my misses are pulls thanks
Great video. I'm in dire need of a new putter so this comes at the perfect time. Thanks
Great Video, thanks. You mention the various degrees of balance in the face, however it doesn't make suggestions as to why someone would choose different face balances?
Bruce is great. Read all the articles definitely some gems in there. Especially when he talks about ball position/ finding your natural stroke.

The best video I've seen on this subject. Its going into my library thanks.
That is a great video on how to work out how every one putts different and what their needs are re models, etc.
Fantastic fitting information!
thanks for this…. been years but still relevant… thankks…
Great information . Where is the best place to get fitted near me . I'm in north Carolina
Huge help. Thanks.
Very informative, easy to understand
How. UHC do you guys charge for fitting? Best video ever. Edel putter fitting costs $$$ before the cost of the putter. And you do a better job
I'm 5-foot-8 and my 33-inch Odyssey Works Sabertooth Versa SuperStroke putter works great for me.

Great video
never thought about offset in the putter. Great information.
Great episode! Thank you!!
Any advice about adding the right putter loft into a fitting too? Cheers
this is superb knowledge.
Randy, does the shape of the putter make a difference such as a mallet compared to a blade or anser style ??
Great instruction

Will do brother! I will msg you to hit them links for sure!
What influences the decision going for a face-up or a toe-down putter?
Great video mate - thanks
Theologies on putting. Can't wait for that video.
+bludevmike To plumb bob or not to plumb bob… that is the question!
I had to go back (1:02) and listen to it again myself just to make sure I heard correctly. God plays golf... hmmm
Really good video thanks 👍🏻😀

Will making a putter head smaller breach any rules? If I cut part of the putter TOE off? Thus shortening the length between heel and toe by 20mm
What about weight and type of sight lines? Are those more of a personal preference? Also, what about face-balanced versus hang as far as type of stroke?
+Fried Eggs Golf what was the angle putting tool app you're speaking of in the video? I'm not having luck finding one?
I use the V1 Golf app....it works pretty well to find that angle.
Thank you played for years but never knew any of that
that explained things so well, main takeaway is get a putter fitted
Great info thank you
great video thanks
WEIGHT ??? - You or Bruce didn't mention weight, i.e. "Overall Weight", "Head Weight" and "Swingweight". What are Bruce's thoughts regarding these parameters? - Thx, RYR
RollYourRock im sure its pretty important.

Good video!
Opinion on the Scotty Cameron Futura 6?
Can you post the link to the blog you talked about in the video?
Sorry about that, I accidentally deleted it while revising my description… Here is the link - bargolfinstruction.blogspot.com
Ive changed putters the other day from centre shaft face balance to toe balance full ofset. and i had to change my putting stroke because of that.
I just got a Scotty Cameron golo 5 and I love it! Feels super solid and I'm putting great. Really recommend it!
How do I know if I need a mallet putter or. Not?
Great video bud
What about mallet vs. blade?
Good video, no pointless blabbering
what is that TM putter you show that is heel shafted?
I was in a golf store this weekend and answered my own question...TM Maranello Ghost Tour Black
Nice find, sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner!
Perfect!
What if your toe points up and your heel hangs? what's that called???
you didnt really explain how to chose between toe weighted vs face balanced?
Very informative
What putter does ACE play with?

Nice video
Thanks!
Putting is very subjective. No one can tell anyone which putter is "better". Use What fits YOUR eye.
thanks for the explanations. If my putter length would be too long for me, is it possible to make it short? and if it's possible how should I do it?
Awesome!
