Long Putter Models
If you've been playing golf for a while and you've always felt that your golf has been held back by the ability to putt well. And if you feel like your putting is the major cause of your scores staying high and your handicap is staying high because you've got the dreaded yips. You've got the flick with the hands and you can't putt very well, it may be worth considering changing to a mid-length or a long putter.
Mid-length and long putters work quite nicely because they eliminate as much as possible the wrist hinge. Particularly if you're considering going for a long putter because your hand simply don't hold the club in the same fashion. So by having your hand separated on the putter, it stops the hands flicking and scooping like you might have been guilty of in the past. So, a long putter would normally hang from the chest or the sternum straight down, right hand sitting on the bottom and that really eliminates any major wrist issue problems.
Alternatively, you could lock the bottom end of the putter from a mid-length putter into your chest here and then guiding the club backwards and forwards with the hands and stopping you from scooping and flicking too much. So if you've struggled with the standard length putter, the change to the mid-length or a long-length putter might be something you considered doing.
If you look at thomasgolf.com, they've got a range of different putters and some fitting guides that will actually help you determine, which length of putter is going to be most suitable for yourself.
