Choosing the best putter

Unfortunately, you cannot simply stroll into your local golf shop and buy the putter with the most fascinating shape. A lot of thought goes into finding the putter that yields the best results for players. Thanks to the Golf Avenue experts, we can share a few vital tips that you need to consider before buying your next golf putter:

Head Balancing

One of the first features that you would need to consider is the head balancing of the putter. You will need to figure out if you are playing straight shots or shots with more of an arch, which would allow you to determine if you need a face-balanced putter or toe-hang putter for your specific game.

Head Shape

You might have noticed that there are a variety of head shapes often used on professional tours and you will need to make sure that you choose the head shape that works best for your game. It often comes down to personal preference and the variety of tech features in the putter. However, blade-style putters often provide the best forgiveness.

Weight

Even though the weight of your putter is also dictated by swing style and personal preference, the type of green you play on would also have a dramatic effect on the weight you choose. On slower greens, you will need to have more power, which means a heavier head is often necessary. The opposite would be true for faster greens.

Length of the Shaft

Length is one of the most important features when selecting the ideal golf putter. A club fitter would often be your best option when it comes to selecting the right shaft length. However, one of the tips we often use is to have the player stand in a putting position. Next, you should drop a golf ball using your left eye and it should fall directly on the ball you are about to hit. This would give you an approximate idea if you have the right putter length.

Grip

Last but certainly not least, the type of grip you use would also be of great importance. You can easily find hundreds of different grip options on the market and each of them would be slightly different. Wider grips often help with the flicking of the club, whilst a heavier grip might give the sensation of a light club head.

Best brands for putters

One thing you are bound to notice is that each brand might offer different putters, in different styles and with different features. You must consider the best brands for putters before buying. Here is a breakdown of the top putters, you commonly see on the PGA Tour and other elite tournaments:
