Tall golfers, what length putter do you play?

6’4” and have several length putters in my stable, stabile may be the wrong term given that I’m not even close to stabilizing on one.   
 

I putt best with a shorter putter but can’t practice as long with it.   Practice is maybe the most important part of a good putter 

Currently in the bag is a mizuno V at 34”, which feels great and seems intent on staying in the bag for a bit.

6'4" and play a 37" putter.  I have played as short as a 34" putter over the years, but like being more upright today.

6’5” and play a 37” putter at 77 deg lie angle.  I have usually played 1/2” or 1” over on irons.

For those that have been fit to a putter over 35 inches, could you drop some recommendations on where to go? I'm 6'5" with a bad back and would like to adopt a more upright posture to make my back not act up whenever I practice putting. From what i've gathered, its hard to find fitters that carry 37-38" specs for you to try in store during a fitting. Appreciate any feedback here.

Similar issue with L5/S! fusion two weeks from today. Went with a 43" SIK armlock after a Club Champion fitting.

6’5” - play my irons +1/2”. Generally play 35” putters. I experimented with a 36” set up a few years ago but it didn’t last long.

Did you like the fitting done by Club Champion? Did they have any putters to try that were longer than 35" but traditional style, not arm lock?

I didn't see any longer than 35' but really wasn't looking. 

 

I really liked the fitting. First, we did some putts with the SAM system to get a baseline on my path, face angle before, at and after impact as well as downward or upward through impact. Gave me some great insight that can help no matter which putter I use-slightly out to in on some putts and a slight downward stroke at impact. Face positions were less than 1 degree off and very consistent.
