Welcome to another edition of our newsletter, in this week’s mail we focus on putter fittings with TrackMan, Jane makes an ace, and we look to the winter workshops to improve your game. Enjoy the read!

Before we look at the numbers it’s important to understand that your putter has loft (generally 3 or 4 degrees) and like all golf clubs produces a “ball flight”. At first this may seem rather odd as to the naked eye the ball just rolls along the green, but thanks to high speed camera and launch monitor technology we now know “how” the ball moves on its journey from putter face to (hopefully) the hole. The ball as it rests on the green nestles in an indentation formed by its own weight and the loft on your putter is designed to lift it out of that hole, rather than bumping into the front of it, which would produce a very bumpy putt. Putter design is there for geared to getting the ball into what’s considered a “pure roll” as quickly as possible. The quicker and more efficiently we can get the ball into this pure roll phase the better.

The figures show that as the session progressed we got our golfer rolling the ball for a larger percentage of the putt, skidding less and with considerably less speed drop. He was literally able to see and feel the ball rolling smoothly towards the hole which he said already gave him a more positive approach to his putting.
