Hi Tim

Just a few thoughts on the putter fitting experience.

Although I have custom fitted clubs, I had never given any serious thought to being fitted for my putter.  I just picked one off the shelf that ‘felt good’ and that after a few practice putts holed a few.  However, at 17 handicap, I felt that I should be putting better than my average, I seemed to leave a lot of putts to the right and didn’t feel completely comfortable over the ball.

I booked my fitting with Tim and he spent about 30 minutes with him.  The new Ping App was amazing, clipped to the shaft of my existing two ball putter. The information was clear and easy to understand. This told me that I had a very good putting tempo, but the other information was not good.  I had a strong arc putting stroke but the putter I had been using was ideal for a straight back and through putter, right at the other end of the scale from my method.  As a result, my consistency of ball striking was poor, resulting in unreliable results.  The App and Tim recommended I choose a heel/toe weighted putter that suited my stroke and after trying a few putters, I decided on a Ping Scottsdale.  Within a week, this was delivered fitted to me at 35” and 1 degree upright.

With the App again, Tim helped me familiarise myself with the new weapon and consistency of results were immediately identified from the App and the number of putts holed.  Great service from the Tim Hall School Of Golf and Ping!  I have certainly recommended this service to my friends and hope they will also benefit from it, but not too much to beat me!

Best Wishes
