I’m no expert, but for me, the 34-inch gave me a better feel for the ball. Might be worth trying both at your local shop. Anyone ever compare them side by side?
It’s fascinating, right? The physics of a putter’s length could genuinely affect your game! A slightly longer putter might give a more sweeping stroke, but that also varies by player.

I completely agree. It feels like the journey of finding the right length is a personal one. Each player’s stroke is unique!
@stewarttimothy that’s a great point! The perfect putter is like finding your favorite coffee – it’s all about what suits you best! Have you both used a 34-inch and a 35-inch before?
Honestly, I love my 34-inch! But I’ve tried a 35-inch, and for short range putts, it feels a bit unwieldy for me, but some people actually prefer that additional length!
It seems so subjective! Maybe I should just flip a coin. But really, I think trying them out is the best way to go. How did you all decide on your current putter?
I took advice from my local pro and spent some time experimenting. It made a huge difference in my consistency!
When choosing between a 34 or 35 inch putter, it’s crucial to consider your height and stance. Generally, taller players may benefit from a longer putter for better posture.
Absolutely agree! I found that a longer putter helped me align my stance more comfortably during my swings.

It’s also important to consider how the putter feels in your hands. Trying out grips with different lengths can make a huge difference in your play.

Indeed! I always suggest bringing your own grips to try at a fitting to ensure you get the perfect feel.
I’ve read that a shorter putter can help with accuracy for some players. If you struggle with direction, it might be worth experimenting with a 34 inch.
That’s interesting! I’ve always thought longer was better, but I guess it really comes down to personal preference.
Consider your stroke type too! If you’re a more upright player, a longer putter may suit you better. It’s all about finding that sweet spot.
Great point! I recently switched to a longer putter, and I feel like my stroke has improved noticeably.
Does anyone have tips on adjusting the length of a putter? I’m considering modifying my 34 inch but worried about losing balance.
You can always add extensions or even cut it down, but ensure that you maintain the overall balance. Check with a pro if unsure!
It can be tricky! But at the end of the day, what feels good to you should take precedence over numbers, right?
A shorter putter might be fun to try out! Who knew finding the right putter could be like dating? So many options!
Haha! Exactly! It’s all about finding that perfect match, even with putters!
