Golf Club sizes? I want to get my honey a new putter?
- 9 Comment
I don't know much about golf, but i wanted to get my fiance a really nice christmas gift this year. He is 6'2'' w/ a long body, Should I be concerned about the size of the putter? What about Irons? Shouldn't they be a certain length as well?

Wow, where do I find a woman like you, actually supports someone’s golf habit! If you really want to spoil him, get him a gift certificate for a custom set of clubs. I’m 5’9″, and it seems like most “out-of-the-box” sets are made for people around my height. My taller friends all went with custom sets, they played a lot better after they had clubs made long enough for them. As for the putter, I think that balance matters alot more than size, you want it to have enough weight to hit the ball without it twisting in your hands.

You know your honey much more than we do, but one thing I DO know is that a LOT of people are very picky about their golf clubs. I would suggest going with him to the golf store sometime and see exactly what kind of stuff he looks at. But in my opinion, I would suggest a gift certificate, unless you think that is way too impersonal.

Well I know you’d like to have and actual gift but on golf clubs I’d get him a gift certificate to a golf shop where he can go and be fitted for a putter.
There are so many different styles of putters I don’t think I’d try to pick one out for him.

give him a gift certificate to the local golf shop and let him pick it out himself. the putter is a very special club and must be fitted to the player for him to get the most out of it. same goes for the irons best game comes from a properly fitted set of clubs

Does he ever mention liking a putter that he’s seen on a TV golf match, or in a magazine, or that another golfer owns? That would tell you what brand he prefers.
The gift certificate idea is a good one; once you find a quality shop that deals in a wide range of brands and products, the rest is easy. He’ll really like picking out the right club himself.

You don’t surprise him with a club. He needs to try it before buying. See if you can find out what he prefers, then buy it. This is especially true if you are planning to buy a set of irons.

if you do know the putter he wants, then get one a little longer it can easily be cut down. I’m 6’1 but use a short putter because of my putting style. He can also exchange it for another.

There is no way that you would want to take the blame for his poor round – “honey I could not sink one putt”! Meaning this putter is no good. Those wise people who said go to the pro-shop or your golf retailer and get a gift certificate were right. Selecting clubs for a golfer is like bringing home a bra for your girlfriend. One size does not fit all!

what the hell said:
golf clubs are VERY personal. there are many many brands that make a ton of products because there is so many different opinions are what works or is the best or whatever.
get him a gift certificate or buy him any putter as a token gift and then tell him to return it and get the ONE he really wants.
