Current trends on the US Tour show an increasing use of over length putters. In some tournaments, over 50% of players have been using longer putters in either, the Belly, Chest or Broomstick lengths.
Why go with a Belly?
The most important element in putting is Speed control, and Belly putters are designed to improve the Pendulum effect in the stroke. If you are able to match your backswing and forward swing lengths as well as your tempo, your speed control will definitely improve. The extra length in the shaft and the anchoring against the body help with the momentum and allow the hands to remain passive.
If you think a Belly Putter might reinvent your game, see the friendly staff in the Pro Shop when you’re next at the Club. We can customise a putter to your exact specifications.
