Putter Designs
Not all putters perform the same.
Putters are often chosen by how they look or feel.
Design determines how they perform.
It influences:
• how the putter delivers the face
• where the player aims it
What Actually Matters
The design itself isn’t the answer.
How that design performs with your stroke is.
At impact:
• does the face return consistently
• does the ball start on line
• does the roll repeat
Center of Mass Determines Rotation
Every putter has a center of mass.
When the putter is moved, forces act through that point.
If the shaft axis and center of mass don’t align:
the putter rotates.
That rotation isn’t optional.
It’s built into the design.
Change the center of mass—and you change:
• how much the face opens or closes
• how stable the head feels
• how consistently the face returns
This is why different putters behave differently—even with the same stroke.
You’re not eliminating rotation. You’re defining how it behaves.
Hosel Type Affects Aim
Hosel design changes what the player sees at address.
• shift perceived face angle
• change how square the putter appears
• influence where the player aims
Two putters can look square—and be aimed differently.
Different hosel designs change how the face appears—even when the stroke is the same.
What you see is not always where the face is actually pointed.
Head Shape Influences Perception
Shape affects how the eyes interpret alignment.
What looks square isn’t always square.
Adjustability Determines Fit
To match a putter to a player, key variables often need to be defined:
• weight
• loft
• lie
If they can’t be adjusted, the fit is limited.
See why adjustability matters.
Why This Matters
• aim can be off before the stroke starts
• delivery becomes less consistent
• roll becomes less predictable
Results don’t always reflect performance.
What We Look For
• ball roll
• start direction
• repeatability
Not appearance. Not preference.
