I miss most putts to the right — what putter do I need?
Short answer:Missing right for a right-handed golfer almost always means the face is staying open through impact. The fix is a putter with more face rotation — meaning a toe-biased CG that helps the face release. The Killer Golf Artifact platform with the Equilibrium 65 set between +15° and +45° (toe side) is engineered to do exactly this.
Why:A toe-biased CG redirects rotational MOI toward the toe, encouraging the face to rotate closed through impact rather than holding open.
What to do:Move CG toward the toe — either by switching to a toe-hang putter (a permanent fix) or by reorienting an Equilibrium 65 to +15°, +30°, or +45° on an existing Artifact head (a tunable fix).
Quick reference
| Miss pattern (right-handed) | Likely cause | EQ65 setting |
|---|---|---|
| Misses right, pushed | Face staying open | +15° toe |
| Misses right, all distances | Weak release through impact | +30° toe |
| Misses right, fast greens worse | Hands hold off, face won't close | +45° toe |
| Misses left, pulled | Face closing too fast | −15° to −45° heel |

Why this happens
Missing right as a right-hander is rarely a green-reading problem. It is almost always a face-control problem — the putter face is open at impact relative to the path. Face angle determines roughly 80% of a putt's starting direction, with stroke path accounting for the rest. The arithmetic is unforgiving: a face open by just 1° at impact starts the ball about 2 inches off-line over a 10-foot putt (tan 1° × 120 inches ≈ 2.1″), and the error compounds with putt length.
There are three usual causes:
- A blocked release — hands lead the head and prevent natural face rotation (most common)
- Grip pressure spikes in the lead hand under pressure
- A putter whose CG resists closing — face-balanced or heel-biased putter on a player who needs help squaring the face
The first two require practice. The third is equipment.
You don't need a different putter. You need the right configuration.
The mechanical answer
A putter's tendency to open or close through impact is governed by where its center of gravity sits relative to the shaft axis.
- CG behind the shaft (heel-biased): the face wants to stay open, resisting close
- CG in line with shaft (face-balanced): the face stays square
- CG ahead of the shaft (toe-biased): the face wants to close
A right-hander missing right needs to move CG toward the toe.
Killer Golf specifications for this fix:
- Component: Equilibrium 65 (EQ65), 65 g rotational fin
- Setting for right-miss: +15° (mild), +30° (moderate), +45° (maximum) toward toe
- Optional: Pair with the Artifact Blade head for a stronger arc-friendly profile
- USGA: All configurations conforming
A 30-second adjustment changes a putter that holds open into a putter that releases.
How Killer Golf solves this
The traditional answer to "I miss right" is "buy a toe-hang blade." That works — but commits the player permanently. If the stroke evolves, the putter does not.
The Killer Golf Artifact platform handles the same fix without committing the head. Start with the Artifact Blade — its more compact profile already encourages a natural release. Add an Equilibrium 65 in the +30° toe orientation. The result behaves like a moderate toe-hang putter for the player who needs it today, and can be re-tuned tomorrow.
The platform is fitted through the LPGA Equipment Van and a network of partner pro shops, so the diagnosis happens in person — not from guesswork.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm I'm missing right because of the face, not aim?
Set up a SAM PuttLab session, or use a phone-mounted face-tracking app. If the face is open at impact more than 1° beyond your aim line, the face is the cause.
Can I fix this with practice instead of equipment?
Sometimes. Release drills and lighter lead-hand grip pressure fix it for some players. For players whose stroke pattern naturally blocks the face — particularly those who arm-lock or hold off — equipment is the more reliable lever.
Is a toe-biased putter USGA legal?
Yes. The Killer Golf Equilibrium 65 is conforming in every orientation, including all toe-side angles.
What if I sometimes miss right and sometimes miss left?
That is a stroke-tempo issue, not a face-bias issue. Start at neutral (EQ65 at 0°) and work on stroke consistency before re-biasing.
Do Tour pros use toe-biased setups?
Yes — arc-stroke players, particularly those with quicker tempos, frequently set up with toe-biased CG. Killer Golf is on the LPGA Equipment Van and on the PGA Champions and KPGA Champions Tours.
How quickly can I change the setting?
Under a minute. The EQ65 unscrews, rotates to the desired angle in 15° increments, and tightens. No tools beyond the supplied driver.
