Broom Style Putters and Seniors
We receive many calls from Seniors and Middle-Aged golfers looking to cure the “Yips” and putt as well as their playing partner who recently switched to a long putter. Longer putters allow a golfer to see both the cup and ball with little or no pivoting of the head and eyes. This relaxes the head and upper body. In putting, any upper body tension can kill a good stroke.
Following the 2016 USGA ban on Belly putters the Golf Industry responded with a variety of Armlock, Sternum, Side Saddle, Face-On, No-Anchor Broom Style, Mid-Length and Counterbalance models.
As you watch professional tours (PGA, LPGA, LIV, Champions and Europe) the Long No-Anchor Broom Style Belly putter is growing in popularity. More and more senior golfers are turning to long Broom Style putters for their stability and ease of use. These putters are also well-suited for Side-Saddle or Face-On putting styles, offering customizable lengths and upright lie angles to match a variety of stances and preferences.
The history of major winners and current players on all professional tours and recent success by seniors and middle-aged golfers indicate No-Anchor Broom style Belly putters are staying in golfer’s bags. Apparently, Sam Snead and Charlie Owens, along with Adam Scott and Bernhard Langer knew what they were doing.
Enjoy the golf season!
