    I have a Tel 3 Newport 2 in a 35” length. I love this putter but think it is a little long. I am 68 years young and 6’. I’m going to purchase a Special Select Fastback 1.5 and was thinking of a 34” length. Looking for suggestions comments on this. Thank you, Sandy Jamesen

    Sanndy at 6ft tall I wouldn't think a 35in is to long unless you have shorter arms than normal JMO

    Much to my chagrin (and bruise to my ego?) there is much to be gained by having a fitting. If you can get to a Cameron Showcase Fitter, that would be best. They can work with you on toe flow and loft, as well as make a suggestion based on your stance of an ideal length. Then suggest a couple of putters to match those criteria.

    You're looking at a near max toe flow putter moving from a medium toe flow. They will feel different in order to have the face square at contact. The visual sex appeal is important but functionality is also important.

    Choke down an inch or two on the practice green or during a day of play. If you like the feel of the extension of your arms, go ahead and get you a shorter putter. I am 5' 10" and have been using a 33 inch putter for years but I like to have my arms hanging with little elbow bend. Does not mean my style is for everyone. Go with what feels right for you and what gives you the most success.
  5. You could get a fitting to be certain of the EXACT length you need....just saying your physical dimensions does not do enough. I have done numerous fittings over the years and sometimes 6'-5" players (such as a taller Phil Mickelson) prefer a shorter putter and sometimes the opposite....

    IMHO, good luck!

    Get fit and experiment...I currently play my 6M at 35" and my Newport at 34".
    For me that's two different putting styles and they both work for me.
