cameron & crown series
short and sweet
a
new concept in putters, Cameron & Crown flat-
sticks are designed for players whose setup re-
quires a shorter 33-inch putter. According to Roger
Dunn Golf Shops putter specialist Rick Grewe, these
new models call special attention to the importance
of weight and length and create a unique offering for
players whose setup dictates a 33-inch putter.
"Cameron & Crown models are purposely built 33-
inch designs – as opposed to, say, a 35-inch putter
cut down – with two 20-gram weights to ensure the
swing weight and feel of these putters are consistent
with their longer counterparts."
An additional benefit, Grewe said, is a smaller
Matador grip to match that performance and feel.
Most people who fit these putters will be between 5-
foot-4-inches and 5-foot-8-inches tall and have rela-
tively small hands, which is why the grip size has
been reduced. click here to buy now.
a
case can be made that your
putter is the most important
club in the bag, since it's the
one that's most frequently used.
And one key element to finding a
putter that's right for you is deter-
mining the proper length.
"Having the right length is one of
the most important aspects to a
properly fit putter," says Rick
Grewe, putter specialist at the Roger
Dunn Golf Shops Superstore in
Santa Ana, Calif. "Too long or too
short, and you compensate
with your body causing mis-
hits, inconsistency in the path, poor
setup and even back discomfort."
Length affects the entire setup,
Grewe says. If the shaft is too long,
it'll require you to stand too far back
from the ball. If the shaft is too
short, you're going to crouch and
your eyes will go outside the target
line leading to inconsistency.
So how to determine the proper
putter length?
"If you grip a standard length
putter and find you're gripping
down the shaft, that is not good and
you will need a shorter putter,"
Grewe said. "If you grip beyond the
end of the putter, you will need a
longer putter. With the correct
length putter, the shaft would be in
line with your forearms."
Most often, Grewe says he finds
golfers play with a putter that's too
long, usually 34 inches, which is the
most common putter length. How-
ever, a normal 34-inch fit, while
fine for most people between
5-foot-8 inches and 6-foot,
isn't ideal for those who are
taller or shorter. Grewe said
a good rule of thumb to is to
use a 32-inch putter if you are
between 5-foot and 5-foot-4-inches;
33-inch if you are 5-foot-4-inches
to 5-foot-8-inches; 34-inch between
5-foot-8-inch and 6-foot; and 35-inch
if you stand between 6-foot and
6-foot-4-inches.
And remember:
"Putting is 40 percent of the game
and is vitally important," Grewe
says. "Many mechanical issues can
be corrected by being fit properly."
