Chris, a Wicked Smart Golf listener, DM'd asking, "Should I get custom fit for my putter?"  The short answer is YES... as putting is 30% (or more) of all your strokes. If your putter isn't right for you, even the perfect stroke might not be good enough to help you make putts. The sooner you get fit, the sooner you'll learn how to take your game to the next level in 2024.  When you listen to this episode, you'll learn: Average cost of a fitting. How a custom fit putter can help you stop 3-putting. Why a putter is 1 of 2 most important clubs to get fit for. The three things you should consider when doing a custom fitting.  A fitting is one of the best ways to improve this offseason. Check out the Golf Digest article about custom fitting.  Grab my FREE putting ebook to stop 3-jacking and putt more consistently.  WICKED SMART GOLF RESOURCES  Work with Michael for Mental Golf Coaching  10X your confidence putting with the Look and Shoot Method.  Take your practice to the next level with my FREE mini-course: Practice Like a Pro.  Also, don’t forget to connect on social media: Follow on TikTok Follow on Instagram   Subscribe on YouTube Buy my golf book on Amazon (“Wicked Smart Golf: How to Play Better Golf and Shoot Lower Scores Without Changing Your Swing”) Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to get new episodes each week so you can play better without swing changes.
