I had a fitting session of several hours and had the opportunity to try several putter head with various shaft length and balance. I found this made a lot of difference.. Of course I'm short and liked to play rather bent over to favour a straight-ish club path, so I ended up with a very short face balanced putter with countweight in the grip, very different from an of-the-rack putter.
How about weight of the putter. Heavy head putter has been promoted becasue of higher MOI... I found lighter putter is good for me to have more feel and control with my right arm on distance. Actuaaly I am using my girl friend old Mizuno putter 32.5 inches, very light with good reuslt.

I have a new Ping Redwood putter almost as heavy as my old Titleist Bullseye with a scooped out back, flat with a ball-wide channel marked in bright white. Face balanced, it is easy to aim one of the two lines at the hole depending on the break and the ball gets there!
Love it!

Thanks guys! I went out and tested a few and I think I am with innercityteacher and the heavy putters. I don't really know why but they just seemed to feel like they connect better when striking the ball. I think I'm still going to have to work on my aiming if I'm going to get rid of the 3 putts though haha.
It has been a rare occasion that I met a putter I didn't like. Heck, I change putters more often that I change underwear. I like mixing it up with different feels. Most of the time, though, I like the look of a nice clean 8802 style. If you like a heavy one, get the Golfsmith Snake Eyes black SV-1 (I think). I have it at 32.5" and there is still plenty of heft

Thanks JerryG, I'll look into it and see if I can get my hands on one!

One day in Minnesoooota, in August, Jerry was nice enough to give me a ride to the course we were playing. (Jerry is a great human being with a lovely family and friends like Kev Carter, Rodger Dodger and Lynn Blake as well as many others.) Anyway, he looks at my Bullseye Titleist 16 year old putter and says something like "you wanna try one of these?" and he opens his trunk to reveal an alien putter manufacturing company replete with ET look alikes cranking out putters as if they were trying to make quota prior to this week's Mayan Apocalypse!
I knew at that moment that I had a future selling putters out of my trunk if this teaching joint ever went south! LMAO!
