Putter fitting optimizes the putter's specifications for the golfer's stroke style: blade vs. mallet (stroke arc vs. straight back-straight through), shaft length (determines posture), lie angle (determines face angle at impact), loft (positive loft helps roll, too much adds bounce), face insert (soft vs. firm feel), and head weight (heavier for slow strokes, lighter for faster). Studies show a properly fitted putter can reduce putts per round by 2-4. The fitting process uses a combination of video analysis, putting arc boards, and launch monitor data. GOATY's posture and balance analysis complements putter fitting by identifying the fundamental mechanics behind putting stroke issues.
