The proper set up has more bend from the hips than the shoulders. In other words, the hips are up and out (anterior rotation) and the spine will be bent some at the shoulders. I don't want to see a player humped but neither do I want to see a player with their shoulders pulled back exposing their chest so to speak.

The eyes should be either directly over the ball or slightly inside the ball depending on gaze. If the eyes gaze vertically down (your neck horizontal to the ground) then the eyes would be directly over the ball. If the gaze is angled (the neck angled to the ground) then the gaze would be just inside the ball. This is getting technical, and I suggest getting the eyes over the ball line with the dominant eye directly over the back of the ball.

Putter lengths should be 34 to 31 inches depending on height. A good rule of thumb is to have the top of the putter come to the bottom of your zipper when you are standing up. This will give you a length that will enable you to get into a good set up.
Thanks VJ....good information but not sure why it was directed at me.

I was just curious if you could take a link at the link i posted and comment on the design.
