Putter fitting — find your perfect RUNNER

Answer a few questions and we build a full putter specification around your stroke — length, lie, loft, neck configuration, weighting and grip.


The RUNNER fitting

What we read, and what it decides

The putter is the only club you use on every hole, and the only one where a few millimetres of geometry change where the ball starts.

We start with who you are and what you want to look at. Then we measure three independent axes and assemble a putter around what we find.

Player profile

Who is holding the putter

Your level and handicap tell us which range — Original or Pro — to build from, and how much adjustability to put in your hands. A player breaking par every week wants fine control over abundant forgiveness. Someone newer is better served by a build that is already right and stays that way.

It is not about selling up. The Pro range is fully milled stainless steel: more feedback, but less forgiving on off-centre strikes — genuinely better for a repeatable stroke, genuinely unnecessary if yours is still settling.

Sets: range · depth of adjustability

Look

What you want to see at address

Blade, Mallet and our Original profile differ in how forgiving they are on off-centre strikes, and in how easily they frame the line for your eye. There isn’t a “better” shape — it is all about what helps you aim well.

Finish and sight colour work the same way. Grey and black perform identically; what changes is glare in bright light and how sharply the 3D Aiming Sight reads against the green. Both are your call, and neither is a compromise.

Sets: head shape · finish · sight colour

Ergonomics

How the putter fits your body

Height gives us a starting length. Your posture decides the final number: two golfers of identical height who set up differently, one tall over the ball and one crouched close to it, need different lengths and different lie angles to bring the sole flat at address.

A putter that sits toe-up or heel-up will likely pull or push the ball off line. No amount of aiming corrects that reliably. Grip style counts here too: an armlock and a claw setup are not variations on the same putter.

Sets: length · lie angle · grip profile

Motion

How the head moves through impact

Some golfers move the putter almost straight back and through. Others swing it on a noticeable arc. Many change between the two under pressure. This is our single most important input, because it decides where the shaft should meet the head — and how far the face sits behind that axis.

And the two halves of your stroke are rarely mirror images. Most golfers take the putter back on one path and return it on another — going back straight and releasing into an arc is not the same result as doing the opposite, even though both average out to “slightly arced”. We measure that asymmetry rather than averaging it away.

The mechanics are simple. That entry point and its offset set how much the head wants to rotate through impact. Matched to your natural path, the putter releases with you: it feels stable, and holds its line without being steered. Mismatched, you fight a head that wants to close or hang open.

Sets: shaft position · offset · neck configuration

Balance

How weight and loft hold the line

Loft exists to lift the ball out of its own resting depression and get it rolling early — but the loft stamped on a head is not the loft you deliver. A forward press reduces loft. Green speed also shifts what loft is needed.

Head weight is a feel preference and we treat it as one.

The next part no one else does. Our weights slide along the head instead of screwing into fixed ports, so the centre of gravity is placed exactly where your stroke needs it. And it stays adjustable: as your stroke changes, the putter changes with it, without buying another one.

Sets: loft · head weight · centre of gravity

All of it can be captured from this page, including camera-assisted measurement of your posture and stroke path. You end up with a full specification — length, lie, loft, neck configuration, weighting, grip and shaft — to order directly or take to one of our fitting partners. Every RUNNER putter is assembled to that specification in Normandy and conforms to the Rules of Golf.
