Putters

Our Putter Guide is Here to Help You Choose One of the Most Commonly Used Clubs in the Bag.

How To Buy A Putter

There is nothing more personal to a golfer than his or her putter is. Golfers of all levels live or die by their putting ability, and the choice of a putter is as much by personal preference of style, look and weight as it is by technology. There are, however, certain guidelines that can help you in your selection of a putter.

Types of Putters

There are a number of basic types of putters.

Putter Blades

• Narrow and flat
• Best feel for the ball
• Popular among low handicappers
• Blades differ in where the shaft enters the head, either at the heel or center shafted, where it enters more in the middle of the blade.

Mallet Putters

• Has a large, rounded head
• The weight is usually balanced throughout the club, which provides golfers with a more consistent putting stroke

Perimeter Weighted Putter

• A very forgiving design where the weight is distributed around the edges
• Provides for a larger sweet spot because the perimeter weighting stabilizes any slight mis-hits

Insert Putter

• Designed with composite inserts made of a softer material
• Provide for a better feel on the putt and a smoother role
• The insert is in the face of the putter, therefore neatly defining each club's sweet spot

Offset Putter

• The actual putter blade is placed back from the shaft slightly
• Allows the golfer's eyes to be more directly on top of the ball when standing over the putt. This increases top spin for a truer roll.

Choosing the Right Putter Length

• A putter that is too short will throw off your view of the putting line, as will a putter that is too long
• Determining the proper length putter for your frame is important. To ensure the proper fit follow these steps:
• Assume your regular putting stance
• Let your arms hang down naturally
• Measure to just above the top of your hand for the proper length of the putter
