Chest Putter Heads These Pole-Kat heads are specifically designed for Chest Putters. Because of the additional length and the fact that the shaft is anchored against your body, the heavier heads "feel" like a conventional 325 to 350 gram head on a regular-length shaft. But with the extra weight and straight back and through pendulum stroke, your putts will be more solid and true. They offer great balance, superb feel, and ultra-high MOI. The square shape and sight lines make it easy to align them, and to stay on line during the pendulum swing.

Custom Shafts on Your Head
If you prefer, we can also make telescopic shafts to fit your name-brand head. This costs the same as our full clubs because the labor involved in removing and installing heads offsets the head cost itself. In fact, some heads (especially PING heads) are more complex to remove from a shaft than others, so there may be an additional fee. We do not sell the shaft only. Please inquire or call 1-937-384-0003 (Eastern USA) for more information about this option.
Guarantee As with all our clubs, we guarantee your satisfaction or your money back. FOR LIFE! Our putters and telescopic shafts will NEVER wear out or become loose. |

Hand Positions and Ideal Length for a Chest Putter
Lower Hand: There is quite a variety of how to hold the lower hand on a chest putter with these two being the most common. I use the first one which is much more natural-feeling for me, and is easier to keep the stroke on line. It is referred to as the "claw grip".
Upper Hand: The most important factor that determines the ideal length of a chest putter (in addition to your height) is where the top hand is pinned against your chest. Some position it quite high, others very low as shown in these two pictures.
I recommend a middle position in between those two with your forearm comfortably parallel to the ground. See below for more about the ideal length and how to measure it.

How do you measure for a chest putter?
Most chest putters are 46" to 52" (116.8 cm to 132 cm) . The ideal length of a chest putter will depend on whether you prefer a high or low upper hand position as shown above.
For a middle position I recommend the following method to measure the length that is right for you. Stand just a little bent over so your eyes are somewhat over a ball or just inside it (toward the side closest to your feet). In theory, a chest-putter stance is a little more upright than a conventional stance. With your left hand (presuming you are right-handed) on your chest and your forearm comfortably level, have someone measure to the top of your left hand while holding your stance and add 1/2" to that number so a little bit of the grip extends above your hand. (For your reference, I am 6'2", and my chest putter is 48" long.)
If you think you will be more comfortable with a higher or lower hand position, you can measure the desired length the same way, to the top of your left hand in the position that you desire while in a putting stance.
Experiment/Practice Suggestion
If you want to experiment a little, you can tie or tape a broom handle or other similar pole to your conventional putter so that the end of the pole is at the desired length. A bungee cord tightly spiraled around the shaft and pole works great. This will allow you to experiment with your stance and hand position to determine a comfortable length. Keep in mind that the head of your conventional putter is significantly lighter than the actual chest putter. So when you get your actual chest putter, you will notice that the heavier head has a fantastic feel.
