Most putters range from about 32 to 36 inches, and they're designed to keep your eyes over the ball. The shaft of your putter should fall neatly in line with your forearm when you're in the address position. Traditionally men's standard putter length is 35 inches. However shorter putter length such as 34" and 33" become more popular because a shorter putter length increases accuracy and reduces the risk of off-center hits.
