Puku Golf - A revolution in putting technology

Adjustable Length

Why are Puku putters all adjustable in length?: So that the length you putt with is exactly what you want, because it has been set by you, not the manufacturer. If other manufacturers could offer adjustable length they would, but we are the first. It's like having your own personal tour fitting van for your putter.
Close
What is the benefit of adjustable length?: It allows you to experiment with different putting styles, hand positions or putting postures. Each variation can require different lengths and each variation could improve your putting. Instead of having to buy all these different lengths the Puku putter allows you to try everything with the same putter.
Close
What length can they be adjusted over?: The regular putter anywhere from 31 to 39 inches. The belly putter anywhere from 31 to 48 inches.
Close
Can I adjust it more than once?: You can adjust it as often as you like (adjustment during a game will however infringe the Rules of Golf)
Close

Grip

Why is the grip reverse-tapered?: A round reverse-tapered grip fits snugly into your hands and gives you better feel for distance and direction. When we aim our putters we should be aiming the putter face not the grip. Flat sided grips are often not correctly aligned.
Close
Why should I get the spare belly putter grip?: By getting the spare grip you effectively get two putters. The spare belly putter grip costs a lot less than if you had to buy a complete belly putter.
Close
I'm a regular putter user and am skeptical about belly putting?: Even users of regular putters who simply train with a belly putter improve their putting with a regular putter. Often people do not find success with belly putting as they cannot find the correct length, and the length is critical when it is anchored to your body. By fitting it yourself you will get the exact length you need.
Close
If I buy the regular putter can I use it as a belly putter?: No. You will need the belly putter grip.
Close
Why does the belly putter grip taper to be thinner at the tip than the regular putter?: The tip of the belly putter grip is designed to comfortably fit into your navel (if you choose to anchor it there).
Close
Do I receive an adjustment tool with a spare grip?: No. An adjustment tool is provided with the putter. The same tool is used on both grips.
Close
What are the dimensions of the regular grip?: Length - 10.5 inches
Tip diameter - 0.825 inch
Butt diameter - 1.2 inches
Close
What are the dimensions of the belly putter grip?: Length - 21 inches
Tip diameter - 0.7 inches
Butt diameter - 1.2 inches
Close
What is the grip material?: Its made from natural rubber with synthetic additives for durability
Close
Can I put on my own grip?: The Puku grip is specially CAD designed to fit the locking mechanism in the bottom of the grip - standard grips will not fit.

Head

Are there different Models?: JME: Longer face, heel-toe weighting, sight line parallel to the face to square up to target + sight dot on top indicating sweet spot.
LCY: Mallet style, heel-toe weighting, sight line in-line with target.
FIO: Organic design, heel-toe weighting, strong face to square up to target + sight dot on top indicating sweet spot.
All available in RH & LH as either regular or belly putter
Close
What is the head made of?: The head is cast from 303 stainless steel, the faced is double-milled (for accuracy) and then it's electroplated.
Close
What is the putter face loft?: 3 degrees
Close
Why do Puku putters have a curved hosel?: The curved hosel lets the putter shaft axis point at the center of gravity but still allows the golfer to see the top of the putter for better aim.
Close
What is the purpose of the raised logo on the sole?: The Logo on the sole acts as a convenient skid rail. This is useful when putting from the fringe or light rough. It also helps for a smooth take-away on the greens.
Close
What is the lie angle?: 71 degrees.
Close
Does the putter feel heavy? Why is it useful?: You will be very comfortable with it after only a few putts. The simplest and most reliable putting swing is a simple pendulum and a pendulum works better with more weight. It also makes your off center putts more accurate by increasing the MOI (Moment of Inertia)
Close
What is MOI (Moment of Inertia)?: MOI is the clubs resistance to twisting around the putter shaft at impact. If the putter head twists at impact your putt will be off target slightly which can be enough to miss the putt.
Close
What affects MOI?: The total weight of the head and where that weight is positioned relative to the heads center of mass (the further away the better - i.e. heel-toe weighting)
Close
How does extra weight help MOI?: The total weight of the head and where that weight is positioned relative to the heads center of mass (the further away the better - i.e. heel-toe weighting)
Close
Are Puku Putters “Face Balanced”?: No, they are center balanced. Center balanced is when the shaft points directly at the putter heads center of gravity (also the center of rotation, or center of mass). This means it is balanced in ALL directions. A car wheel is a classic example of something centrally balanced – the axle points to the middle of the wheel, if it didn’t the wheel would be all over the place! The same is true for a golf club.
Close

Shaft

What type of shaft is it?: True Temper parallel, stiff flex.
Close
Does the flex increase as the length changes?: The flex will naturally increase slightly as the putter shaft increases in length. The grip itself is also reinforced with a steel tube which helps maintain stiffness right up to the end of the grip.
Close

Other

Are both types of putters USGA and R&A approved?: Yes. Just don’t adjust them during your round otherwise you will be infringing the Rules of Golf!
Close
Can it be used as a long putter?: No. The lie angle is 71 degrees, a long putter needs to be closer to 80 degrees. Some have used it as a long putter and it works fine for them (the curved sole helps) but we don’t promote it as one.
Close
Will the adjustment tool wear over time?: The tool will show discoloration on the surface and there will be a tiny amount of wear, but this is allowed for in the design. It can be used hundreds of times. Like any type of tool there will be a small amount of wear over time. If it eventually stops working contact Puku Golf.
