How important is a properly fitted putter? It is considered that putting is about 43% of the average golfer's score. If it is important enough to have correctly fitted irons and woods, which represents 57% of your score for 13 clubs, then 43% for one club is extremely important.

Why is the loft and lie of a putter important to every golfer? They both influence the roll and direction of the golf ball. If the lie is incorrect for the golfer and the putter head does not sit flat at address, then the ball will be misdirected by the stroke. In other words, if the putter face is not in a horizontal attitude at impact, the face plane will be pointing in a direction other than straight towards the hole.

For example, if the putter is too upright (toe up), the face is aimed to the left of the hole for a right hand putter. The golfer must compensate the stroke to make the ball start on the intended line.

The loft of the putter will determine when the ball starts to roll. The ball is actually airborne after leaving the face of the putter. If the putter has too much loft, the ball will be in the air too long and the ball will skid and bounce on the putting surface for several inches before it starts a true roll. This greatly affects the distance the ball will travel and influences how the ball reacts to the break in the putting surface. It will also increase the change of being knocked off line as it bounces and skids. Too little loft and the ball will start bouncing severely before it rolls. The ideal loft will minimize the distance the ball in is the air. This will reduce the likelihood of it going off line.
