Some quick maths says that the drop zone using a 48" driver is appx 7200 sq.in. - but with a 56" chest-putter, it's appx 9800 sq. in.

That's an increase of appx 35% over the driver.

"Pretty minor"? I don't think so.
Where did find that 56 inch putters, the longest I could find was 52 inch. I am 6 ft tall, by the time I lean over slightly, and I mean slightly, a 56 inch putter would anchored to my forehead....lol...guess for them 7 foot tall golfer, they will have an advantage...lol
