fitting a putter

I'd like to order one of Tom Slighters putters, but I really don't know where I can go get customer fitted for one. I have no idea what length, loft, lie, etc...would be best suited for me. Anyone have a good suggestion where I could get this done at?

Did you thinking about talking to tom about a few of the things? I know there are a few retail stores that do putter fitting, its really a thing of preference, I personally would test out as many as you can, figure out what setup "feels" the best and fits your swing. Ping also has a "static fit" on their site that might work for you also, research reasearch reasearch, thats the key


Edit: also check out the "find a demo day/fitter in your area" link

No, havn't talked to Tom yet, but will. I might get it in a few months...just not right now so I'm not overly worried about it. I just gotta have one! :nodsmiley

hey Deron what's ur current putter? My local clubmakers offers putter fitting for like $30 I think so you might want to check your local shops. For me, I had to go thru some experimentation w/ lead tape, bending lie angles and lofts, cutting/adding shaft length in order to get to point where I'm happy with my putter.
