Hostel Adjustment Basics

Where To Start

Adjusting The Putter To Fit You
Putter Fitting Rule of Thumb
-
Putter Length
A good rule of thumb for the length of your putter is to use a length equal to the distance from the floor to the top of your wrist when standing up straight. Considering increasing length if you have a more upright posture and decrease length if you tend to hunch over.
-
Lie Angle
Most manufacturers use a default Lie Angle of 70°. While 70° is usually a safe choice, you can also determine a suitable Lie Angle with the help of the chart below by placing a golf ball in your preferred position at address and measuring the distance from your toes to the golf ball.
-
Hosel Position
Each of our proprietary Hosels is capable of being rotated to 20 different adjustment positions. Each adjustment position, or stop, creates a unique Shaft Offset and Toe Hang combination. Increasing Toe Hang or Shaft Offset will generally counteract a push tendency (right-handed golfer missing right, left-handed golfer missing left) and decreasing Toe Hang or Shaft Offset will generally counteract a pull tendency (right-handed golfer missing left, left-handed golfer missing right).
-
Putter Grips
The putter grip you select can have a surprising impact on your putting stroke and can be a useful fitting tool. Smaller diameter grips have a tendency to exaggerate a golfer’s putting stroke arc, while larger diameter grips have a tendency to reduce a golfer’s putting stroke arc. We encourage our customers to repeat our fitting process anytime they make a significant change to their grip or putting style.
