Tip

For best results, measure your swing speed using a golf swing speed analyzer or consult with a golf professional.

How Putting Club Selection Works

The ideal putting club length is determined by your swing speed and the distance you typically putt. Generally, golfers with faster swing speeds benefit from longer putters, while slower swing speeds work better with shorter putters.

Formula Used

The recommended putting club length (in inches) is calculated using the following formula:

Recommended Length = (Swing Speed / 10) + (Distance / 5)

Where:

Swing Speed is in miles per hour (mph)
Distance is in feet

This formula provides a general guideline, but individual preferences and playing conditions may affect the optimal club length.

Example Calculation

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works:

Scenario: A golfer with a swing speed of 80 mph and a preferred short putt distance of 10 feet.

Calculation:

Recommended Length = (80 / 10) + (10 / 5) = 8 + 2 = 10 inches

Based on this calculation, the golfer would benefit from a 10-inch putting club.

Note

Actual club length recommendations may vary based on individual preferences and playing conditions.
