    Guys opinions on a putter I should buy for the above price range.

    Moving on from a putter on used on the P&P courses when I was a teen!

    Advice is appreciated.

    You need to go try a load yourself. See what suits your eye best, what feels best to you - it's different for everyone. And you might find the best putter for you could be less than €100. Mcguirks have a great selection of putters and some decent prices at the moment.

    Bought an Odyssey putter not too long ago, from the 'white ice' range. Was in and around €100 and it was money well spent. They have a little insert that softens the feel of the putter, really helps in judging distance imo. I'd recommend them to anyone but as the above poster said, you really have to try them all out for yourself.

    Yeah I was planning on trying out some putters in a couple of places. Just thought there might be one that dudes are loving!!

    Cheers for the replies so far.

    Again I would say it could be anything from a €50 putter to a €150 that would suit you. I recently tried out the Cleveland ones (65 on McGuirks Website) they were really nice and look very like Scottie's. Also always like the look of the Rossa Itsy Bitsy Spider aswell. But again it's each to their own, I use an Odyssey White Hot No.6 which I have I'd say 8 years at this stage and I always go back to it.

    Hi,
    U have to decide on what style u like a mallet or blade, toe balanced or heel, have a look at the MD golf range for value and no loss in performance. Putters are really personal lots of guys are using putters they have had for years what ever u like the looks and feel off is probably the most important thing.

    Don't listen to anyone about putters. Try out as many as you can and take the one that gives you most confidence. When I was young I used to "borrow" clubs from the pro-shop and try them out on the practice green. The best one for me was a wooden one that looked like a croquet mallet but I was worried about the stick I'd get from my friends as it looked naff. I was a very good putter and this one was perfect for my style. I wish that I'd been a bit more focused on results than looks.

    So try different types.......Ram Zebra, Bullseye, blade, Ping Anser, etc.

    The lie and length of shaft and putter shape is important.........more important than the name written on the bottom.

    Agree with Stockdam, I've been using an Odyssey this year and after a good spell earlier in the year my putting has been very poor for the last few months.
    I decided to try something different and picked up two 1980's Spalding TPM putters for €25. I didn't like the grip on one of them but the other one felt good, it's the same as this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Spalding-TPM-18-T-P-Mills-Tour-Series-Putter-/250665007951?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash=item3a5ccc7b4f

    I played with it last weekend and after a shaky start I ended up 1-putting 4 of the last 5 greens. It might have just been a once off but I'll be sticking with it over the winter.

    Changed from an Odyssey to a Nike Method (the one Paul Casey uses), last May, unbelieveble results with it. Even after the initial honeymoon period it's still working like a dream. Last Sunday I one putted 7 of the first 9 holes including 4 putts over 10 feet and 1 of 35.
    I'd agree with the other posters, try as many as u can, but the first time I held the Method I knew it was for me.

    dont get too confused by all posts, whatever looks good to you, its you that has to play with it.
    if putter is not working try the new two thumb grip on an old putter. i found this helps.
    for record i have white hot oddyssey, bought 2nd hand

    lots of luck
