Remember when you used to play miniature golf and putters looked like, well, like putters? Today that has all changed. Putters today look like something that came from a futuristic outer space society. So with all the different shapes and styles of putters to choose from the question becomes, "which putter do I get?" This article won't try to answer that question because everyone's game is different but what this article will do is give you information on some of the putters you're likely to find out there on the market today, explain the differences, and hopefully from there you can make an informed decision.
What most golfers don't seem to understand is that they spend most of their time checking out stats for drivers and irons and don't really concentrate their efforts in checking out the best putters for them. The majority of strokes they will take off their game will not come on the fairways but on the putting green. What follows are the most popular putters you will find today.
One of the most popular, and supposedly best putters on the market today, is the Odyssey White Hot 2 Ball Putter. What was unique about this putter when it first came out was its 2 ball alignment to help you visualize a straight line between you and the hole. There are 2 white circular disks on top of the putter head. All you have to do is line them up with the ball on the green and this will help you visually aim the putt to the hole. The club itself has a urethane face which improves accuracy and distance and a low center of gravity which reduces backspin on impact. In the hands of a pro this is an incredible club. It also sells for an incredible $169. Not for the beginning golfer.
Another popular club for a lot less money at $39 is the Pinemeadow Four Ball Putter. This is very similar to the Odyssey White Hot 2 Ball Putter except instead of a 2 ball alignment it features a 4 ball alignment. This club also comes with a low center of gravity. Because of the way the club is designed on short putts of 6 feet or less you don't have to worry about the ball going long because of the softness of the club face. At least that's what they claim. You'll have to judge for yourself.
Then there are the wide putters like the Bionik 207. These putters are not like any other putters on the market. What makes them different from the other putters is the wide mallet body which is embedded with two weighted bars underneath which is supposed to greatly increase accuracy and make a greater allowance for an errant putt. The club itself has an aluminium body which makes it very light weight.
In our next article we are going to go over how to find the right drivers and woods for your game right from the material the club face is made of to the length of the club itself.
