Putting is one place in your golf game where you can drastically cut down on your strokes if you simply putt well. In order to putt well, you should have a good putter. One putter that is
considered to work very well is the Odyssey line of putters. The Odyssey is the #1 selling golf putter. The Odyssey White Hot series gets very high ratings on a regular basis. It is said to give the putter good feel and control when they are putting. The Odyssey White Steel putter also gets great reviews. The White Steel putter has an outline of a golf ball of the front and back of the putter to help you better envision the line of the putt. Giving people what the putt is actually going to look like helps many golfers make better putts. Odyssey putters tend to run in the mid $100s up to $200.
Generally more amateurs use the Odyssey putters, while more pros like to use the Titleist Scotty Cameron Putters. The pros tend to get lower scores using Scotty Cameron. Of course, this could be skewed a bit because pros are just better putters in general than amateurs are. The Scotty Cameron putter is said to have “great feel.” This may be because it is a perfect weight for a putter. These putters do run on the more expensive line, but they are said to be well worth the price, because it makes the putts very easy to line up.
There is also a mid-price range putter that does very well on the market. This putter is the Nike Blue Chip Series putter. It’s price point is around $50. Nike has done a lot of research to try to deliver a great putter while keeping it at a good price range. Nike makes these putters available for both the left and right handed golfer. There is a blue chip insert in the putter itself that is supposed to help send the putts on the correct line so you can sink every putt. It also helps to make sure that the ball is putted at the right speed.
Obviously doing your research is very important when choosing a putter. You can test out any putter and see which one you are the most comfortable. Because in the end, what makes a putter great is how it feels to the individual golfer, and what they prefer.
