Is Your Putter Fit Causing a Problem?

Several aspects of the proper fitting of a putter can be important such as length, Grip and swingweight to name a few. But ask your self this Putter fitting question...are you a "square-to-square" (square2) or an "inside-to-inside"(In-In) putter?" In a square2 stroke you try to keep the face square to the target both in the backstroke and forward stroke. With the In-In, the putter curves back and in toward your body during the backswing, returnes to square at impact and then turns back in during the follow-through.
Certain Putter Styles are more suited to one or the other. Ask your Club Pro or Custom Club fitter if your putter fits you stroke.

Swing Changes Could = Club fitting Needs

Many golfers work hard at improving their swing dynamics. When swing changes are made it can make the fitting set up of current clubs out of sync. Example, I recently observed a golfer go through a swing change to get the weight shift and use of the power of the lower body into the swing.
This resulted in a better swing but a lower body position at contact from getting the lower body into the swing. This resulted into a number of fat or heavy hits and chunked shots. In this case, perhaps adding a bit more bounce to the Irons or slighly shorter club length might be justified,
