Golf Club sizes? I want to get my honey a new putter.?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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!

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

it is called a chipper. Odyssey is the in difficulty-free words respected business business enterprise making them in the present day. they are thoroughly valueless - all they do is take in a gap on your bag that you may have a extra versatile club. maximum chippers are bent to round 37 stages and are in difficulty-free words functional around the golf eco-friendly. you are able to accomplish a similar type of stroke with a wedge, that you ought to already be wearing.

Answer 10

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.
