Nearly half your shots can be played only with one club, the putter. Yet, we tend to spend less time and less money on our putters. Your scores can be lowered by selecting the right Technica club.
How to Choose a GritTechnica putster grips are designed to match your style of putting and club. You have the traditional grip that has a straight edge and is at an angle to the blade. There are also the cord and spiral grips, and the grips with texture and cord. These grips are made to adjust for certain elements in your swing.
Deciding Your Shaft LengthThe standard 35-inch length putters are not usually available in most golf shops. A lot of golfers don’t realize the difference in posture that a Technica putter shaft length can make. A longer shaft may be more beneficial for those with back issues. However, the shafts that are shorter in Technica’s 28-30-inch range might work better for golfers who prefer to bend or hang their arms vertically.
Which Type of Shaft Do You Use?The shaft type is important. Although flexibility in a Technica putter shaft probably doesn’t seem to matter as much as in an iron or metal-wood, given the lack of bend at impact. The shaft can still feel your hands and fingers so that you can gauge pace and distance. Normally, shafts are made of steel but increasingly they’re made of lightweight graphite. You can influence how fast the club head spins. Try different shafts to find the right combination for you.
The Lie Angle for The Technica PutterheadGolfers often place their toes in the air and leave the heel on the ground. This can lead to a closed clubface when putting. You should find an angle that allows your feet to lay flat at the address. If you would like to adjust the lie by bending the shaft, keep in mind that the rules of the game of golf don’t allow bends of more than five inches from the heel of the club.
What is Loft?Loft is the angle between perpendicular and clubface. A putter should have three to five degrees of loft. Loft helps the golf ball to roll in the proper direction. Loft is more beneficial for players who are slower when playing on the greens. It is also important to consider your hand position. A player who presses forward or holds their hand ahead of the ball when they put it down can affect the loft. This will help to reduce the tendency to push the ball into the ground, causing it to bounce.
How about matching putters to strokes? A face-balanced Technica putter will be most beneficial for golfers who have a pendulum stroke. This is where the course of the putter runs straight back and through. The Technica putter shaft will be balanced on one finger so that the face of the putter points upwards. If a right-handed player is prone to missing the ball in the right, and needs help closing it at impact, he should look for a face-balanced model. A heel-shafted, resistant to closing putter may be able to help if he tends to hit to the right.
Bald, Heel-Toe-Weighted, Mallet, Center-Shafted PuttersThe traditional blade putter head is an extension of the shaft that’s rounded. Technica putters with a heel-toe weight have the shaft attached to the hosel. It is usually an angle. Mallet putters are more stable looking and have the weight behind their clubface. Insert FacesWhat is the purpose of insert faces in putters? They are used for what purpose? In order to increase feel, many manufacturers have started to put insert faces onto their putters. To help with distance and pace, many of the best players use them. They can also help match your preference for the golf ball feel.
