Best putter

The Putter is the most personal club in the bag. Try a few out in a golf shop and see what suits you...

There was a place out clondalkin way (or so) that did custom fitting on putters. Someone else may remember the name.

Golf lab I think it was?

You could look at some of the odyssey putters as they come with changeable weights that go in the back

Best putter? One that works!



sorry for the smart alec answer, but its true though friends of mine have seen a lot of success with those putters with big arses on them

It's true though, it must be the most personal club in the bag.

Fundamentally speaking there are marginal differences from driver through to wedges, but you see a massive difference in the shapes, lengths, styles of putters, it is next to impossible to say what'll work for you.

When I went to golf lab I was using a Scottie Cameron, u wasn't there for a putter fitting but based on the way I was putting at the time they pointed me towards a different style of putter. I switched to the odyssey centre weighted one & it's worked pretty well for me since then

Try to find a decent second hand one like Furyk...

I bought a taylormade spider last year and it destroyed my putting. I had started out with a lovely simple old school putter before that.
So after I developed arachnophobia I picked up a second hand ping a month or so ago for pittance and that's older than myself.

Since then, I've podiumed at a boards outing and picked up 2 cuts since.... I'm still waiting on ESPN to call up for the interview

It's impossible to say what is the best putter for you, taking a leaf out of Dr Bobs/Gary Players book... I suppose the best one is the one you like the most.
And when you decide you like one, love it, propose and marry it.

Most marriages will have a rocky patch but always remember that divorce costs a fortune and while you might find it exciting being offered good head from a newer model or fancy a lassie with a bit of extra cushion to hold onto... I think I'll always stick to the girl next door.
Marriages need work, both parties can be at fault but it's usually the man doing something wrong that is the real problem!!!

While I'm still getting away with people thinking I'm talking about a putter, I'll stop now

Im using a Scotty Newport, at least 8 years old, playing off 9 at moment.

Fell badly out of love with it last year and bought a Odyssey Back-Stryke as was in bits with short game, really not a good looking putter but I have to say it works, its helped my stroke and confidence so much and puts a great roll on it. Would recommend to anyone that's struggles to get a good roll on the ball.

I then actually returned to Scotty as as it felt a little out of place in my set, I put a fat grip on it earlier this year and putting been very solid in general but not spectacular, needs practice more than anything.
Retained the odyssey though in case I get the horrors again on the short stuff and need to pull out the franknputter!

It is the one club that if you look at the pros no 2 of them will be playing the exact same 1 even is its the same model they will have different grips.
If you are a decent putter then it's just preference. McGuirke and Halpenny have a fitting putting mirror that will give you a idea if you should have a Face balanced or Toe balanced putter. Basically if your eyes are directly over the ball then it should be face balanced to a couple of inches inside it should be toe balanced. Eyes should never be outside the ball. Your stroke will generally be straight back and thru if you are over the ball and should arc slightly if you are inside the ball.
No harm having a couple as it's the one club where you can change and get immediate improvments even if they are just for a couple of weeks.
I have to admit i'm a big fan of the 2ball i have ended up with 3 with different grips, they are cheap second hand(:.

didn't Furyk win a big event possible the fed ex cup with a putter he bought second hand for $30 a couple of weeks previous

Somebody on the us tour took their mothers putter and won either last season or this, one of the younger lads iirc,

Google tells me it was DA Points, and the putter in question was an old Ping Anser.

Ping do make good putters and Drivers, no doubt about it.

I am looking at changing my putter aswell shortly, I am under no illusions that my stroke is shocking but when the feel of the putter feels bad along with a terrible stroke does not make for good putting.

I am currently using a Taylermade Rossa that have had for a few years but it feels like I am hitting the ball with a sledge hammer at times just to get in rolling. I am looking for something with a crisper feel that gets the ball rolling quickly off the face, anyone any recommendations?

I use a Ping Anser II. Really like the feedback I get off it. Ball comes off the face at a good pace and I never feel like I have to smash the ball to get it going.
If only I could get a consistent stroke I'd be laughing
