053: Professional Putter Fittings with Nick from Callaway Golf

About this episode

Nick Arther from Callaway Golf discusses the key factors in modern putter fittings.

This episode features Nick Arther of Callaway Golf, joining Erik and Jayson to discuss what really matters in a modern putter fitting. The conversation explores how head shape, alignment lines, weight distribution, and grip design can all influence aim, feel, and distance control on the greens. Nick talks about the differential between face and path and how “sticky” that often is for a given player, as well as the major knob(s) you look to dial in for any putter fitting. Nick also explains why golfers are often surprised by what a proper fitting reveals, and how fitting tools and processes help uncover tendencies players didn’t realize they had. Whether you’re buying off the rack or going through a full fitting, the group breaks down the key factors that can help golfers roll the ball more consistently. Hosts: Erik J. Barzeski, Jayson Nickol
