Are you in search for the right putter golf club that suits your playstyle and budget? Look no further as we’ll cover all you need to know to get your green shots to the hole in fewer strokes.

Putting can be argued as one of the most important parts of a golfers game, requiring terrain analysis, compensating for distance and much higher accuracy than blasting a shot off from the tee.

Due to all of these added elements you will want a club that assists you and either compensates for any technical shortfalls you have, or gives you the free range (degrees of freedom) to pinpoint your shot when you are comfortable with your form.

Picking the Right Putter

Beginning Player – Training Putters

Just starting off on the golf course of even looking to improve your technique? these putters actually make it harder to put by taking away the benefits you have from a well designed putter to expose your mistakes.

- Breakaway Shaft: A hinge located at the top of the club, just below your grip, which stays firm during your swing unless a sudden change in force is applied during your swing. This is to ensure that you keep a paced and steady swing maintaining the same speed so that you have greater control over your power, which determines the distance of the ball.

- Curved Face: Normal putters have a flat face but training putters curve to exaggerate the degree of your shot if you do not hit the ball in the direct center of the face. You want to get used to hitting the ball in the direct center of the club even with normal flat putters as any slight offset in degree of your footing and angle of contact will cause the ball to go offcourse more and more the further away from the center you hit the ball

Women or Junior players

Shorter putters exist for women or younger players to keep the alignment proper with all points of your hands, wrists, and posture. Putters exist that are actually longer such as Belly Putters which are meant to be placed firmly against your stomach to keep your shot straight and steady but limits your freedom of motion during a shot.

Rough or Fringe Putters – Chippers

Not necessarily putters, but chippers are used when you hit the low cut grass just before the green or setting up a two shot put from a distance greater than 15 feet. These clubs have a loft degree greater than 30 and a harder stroke is used.

Keep this in mind when choosing all your putter golf clubs to fit your level of skill and comfort.
