You know the age old saying: “Driver for the show, and putter for the dough”. Even today, that saying still holds up. For amateur players putting is the most crucial part of the game and can make or break a solid score. It is the one part of your game that you could challenge the best of the world at in terms of ability. Putters can come as blades which are slimmer and better feeling, and mallet putters which have more perimeter weighting pushing the centre of gravity back. Here are my favourites from each category.
Blade: Scotty Cameron Newport 2
