Telescopic Putters

Custom Telescopic Chest and Belly Putters

Posted: Sunday, August 17, 2008

(If you are looking for our traditional length telescopic putters, click here.)

Long putters are all the rage. They putt straighter. They overcome the yips. They lower scores.

With the top of the shaft pinned against your belly or chest, the resulting pendulum motion is straight back and through resulting in more consistent scoring. It makes putting so easy some people think they should be banned. But long putters are here to stay.

One-Piece Shafts or Two-Piece Telescopic

Chest putters are too long to fit in your trunk or take on an airplane. The ideal chest-putter shaft length for the average male is at least 52” (133cm). But to accommodate travel and storage needs, most manufacturer’s make chest putters no longer than 50 inches (127cm). Unfortunately, that really isn’t long enough and it still doesn't fit into a travel case.

You can check your ideal length by measuring the distance from the floor to your chest when you are slightly bent at the waist. Your top hand should be on the shaft anchored against your chest about 3 inches (7.5cm) below your chin.

The industry knows that people won’t buy a shaft they can’t carry, so they sacrifice ideal length with 50” shafts. Unfortunately, that means they are anchored just above the belly rather than at the chest.

Telescopic Technology to the Rescue

We have solved that problem with the same proprietary telescopic shaft technology we use for our other telescopic clubs. Our shafts are rock-solid when extended. In fact, on robot testing, they out-perform one-piece shafts.

Custom Lengths: We can make your belly or chest putter any length you need up to a maximum of 61 inches (155cm). When collapsed, they are only 35” (89cm). In other words, all our chest and belly length putters are custom made to fit you personally. Note that the taller you are, the more beneficial a Chest Putter becomes because of the relative difficulty of producing a straight-through motion with a regular putter.

Belly-length putters are typically 41” to 45” (104cm to 114cm), depending on your height. Measure from the floor to your belly when in a normal putting stance.

Heads: We recommend heavy heads for belly and chest putters such as the Four-Ball Heavy and the Black Center Shaft designs. Because of the additional length and the fact that the shaft is anchored against your body and your hands are farther down the shaft, a 400+ gram head "feels" like a conventional 300 to 335 gram head on a regular shaft. But with the extra weight and straight back and through stroke, your putts will be more solid and true.

Or, we can make a telescopic shaft for your name-brand head.
