Summary
Roy gets fitted for a new putter… but does a putter fitting actually make you better? In this episode of Off TRAQ, we break down our real experiences with putter fittings — what actually matters, what most golfers get wrong, and why a “perfect fit” doesn’t always translate to better results on the course. From high-tech tools like TrackMan and SAM PuttLab to simple setup adjustments, we explore the balance between data and feel — and how much each should influence your decision. We also get into: • What happens during a real putter fitting • Why length, lie, and roll are critical (and often overlooked) • The biggest misconceptions about putter fittings • When you should (and shouldn’t) get fitted • What to do if your fitted putter doesn’t actually work Then we shift to this week in golf: • The PGA Tour pulling out of Hawaii — and what it means for the future • LPGA majors and whether they’ve gotten the format right • The Zurich Classic team format — and if the PGA Tour needs more events like it And finally, we ask a bigger question: What if golf had a 3-point line? Would adding risk/reward elements make the game more exciting — or take away what makes golf great? ⛳️ CHAPTERS00:20 Look Inside Putter Fitting14:38 What People Get Wrong About Putter Fitting16:42 Why Does Lie, Length, and Loft Matter?21:41 When Is the Right Time to Get Fit?33:37 PGA Tour Leaving Hawaii38:47 LPGA Majors43:22 Should PGAT Have More Events Like Zurich Open?46:26 Does Golf Need a 3-Pt Line?
