| Article: Why Off-the-Rack Putters Can Limit Your Putting Success |
| Off-the-Rack putters are mass produced and therefore can not offer many choices. This lack of choices prevents most golfers from ever reaching their true putting potential because it forces them to “fit their putter”. It is highly desirable for the golfer’s putter to “fit them”.Most off the rack putters today have limited length choices of 33-35 inches, are set to a 17 or 18 degree lie angle, and have 3 to 5 degrees of loft. They force the golfer to fit them.
The average golfer can not reach their putting potential with such limited choice Off-the Rack putters. Putter length is crucial in allowing the golfer to use a posture that is most comfortable for them. A comfortable posture is key for having the eyes properly positioned relative to the golf ball and target line. It is also key for staying relaxed while putting and to avoid back problems from extended putting practice sessions. Tall golfers who should be using a 36-38 inch putter have to bend over considerably to use an off-the-rack putter. The resulting incorrect posture, back strain and increased tension limit their putting success. Nearly all Conventional style putter grips today have a flat portion to assist the golfer in achieving the proper hand position relative to having the putter face aligned correctly. The most successful putters today like Tiger Woods, Loren Roberts, Brad Faxon and Zach Johnson putt with their arms fully extended. With today’s extended arm putting strokes, most non-tall golfers have to choke down on off-the-rack putters to achieve a correct and comfortable posture. This means their hands are too low on the grip and therefore don’t rest properly on the flat portion of the grip. This results in grip/alignment inconsistencies. This is especially true for most women and junior golfers because nearly all off-the-rack putters are several inches too long for them. Putter lie angle will determine whether the golfer soles the putter on the ground correctly at address. If the heel or toe is off the ground, visual alignment can be thrown off and the presence of loft on the putter face will cause significant directional errors. This can be especially significant with long, face-on and side saddle putters. Directional errors of nearly 1.5 inches on a ten foot putt have been demonstrated for putters with 5 degrees of loft when not properly soled. Also, if golfers have to fit themselves to their putter’s lie angle it can force them to hold their hands and arms too high or too low. Maintaining such a “forced” position is very difficult during the actual stroke and will surely cause stroke inconsistencies. And, finally such a “forced” position will make it impossible for the golfer to relax their arms and hands during the stroke thus creating undesired tension. A golfer can only achieve their true putting potential when their putter actually fits them. Custom putters are available that let the golfer select the length they want and then allow them to adjust the lie angle for a perfect set up. A well fitted custom putter will encourage a smoother more consistent putting stroke, better alignment and ultimately increase the golfer’s confidence. |

| Sandy, “You were kind enough to extend to me the instructor’s discount, and I ordered your conventional style REESO putter. If you recall, I was using the Heavy Putter prior to purchasing yours. Admittedly, the discount as well as the money back guarantee convinced me to try your putter. Boy am I glad I did. Your putter is Amazing!. I am making a lot of putts that I didn’t before, and my misses are much better. Keep in mind, this is from someone who has averaged less than 28 putts per round for the last 15 years. So saying that I am making more putts is a BIG DEAL. I don’t think you will be getting this putter back, so don’t count on it (grin).” Fred B.
