Putter Fitting – How important is it?

Proper putter fitting can make all the difference in your putting performance.  There are many things that go into determining which putter fits you the best, things like lie angle, putter length and putter face loft.  Their is an excellent video by Eric Hogge, the Head Golf Professional for the Center for Golf Learning and Performance and the Director of Club Fitting for PGA of America, describing these three elements of putter fitting. 

Proper fitting is important, so much so that you can’t buy a new Coutour model putter without getting fitted for one first.  They have devised a way scientific way to gauge your proper fit.  They call it the Tri-Fit Measurement System.  I’m not sure putter fitting needs to be quite this exact, but then again I was never very good at math.
