Putter fitting from baseline to build

Putter fitting is a sequence, not a single measurement. It connects your setup and delivery to a build, then checks that the result works for aim and pace.

Measure the current pattern

Start with short putts for aim and start line, then medium and long putts for pace. Note repeated strike locations and how the sole sits; do not base a build on a single holed putt.

Build in a sensible order

Establish length and posture first, then lie and loft in that setup. Compare head shape and alignment cues, and finally check grip and weighting without losing the earlier gains.

Retest the recommendation

Return to the original putts and compare ordinary outcomes. Record the complete specification so workshop measurements can reproduce what was tested.

Separate aim, start line and pace

A golfer may aim right but close the face during the stroke, producing a reasonable start line for the wrong reasons. Another may start the ball well but struggle with pace. A fitting should identify which part changed when a different head, hosel or build is tested.

Length and lie deserve their own controlled sequence, covered in our setup guide. Once the build is complete, use the on-green validation process before requesting further changes.

Finish with a decision hierarchy

Record the non-negotiable measurements first, such as length and connection type, then the preferred head and grip, followed by optional weighting details. This makes it easier to assess substitutions if the exact test configuration cannot be supplied.

Mark any specification that was recommended but not physically tested.
