Revolutionizing Golf: The Rise of Custom Putter Fitting in 2026
As the golf world embraces precision, the spotlight shifts from drivers to putters in 2026. With nearly 40% of strokes stemming from putters, custom fitting emerges as the next frontier. This revolution harnesses advanced technology to optimize putting performance, promising consistency and confidence on greens for golf enthusiasts everywhere.
Why Putter Fitting Is Gaining Momentum
As golf clubs have evolved, the focus has traditionally been on drivers and iron shafts. However, putters are now taking center stage in custom fitting due to their crucial role in scoring. With nearly 40% of strokes in an average round coming from the putter, realizing performance gains here can significantly impact a player's score.
