The putter can be a golfer’s best friend or worst enemy, and few things destroy your round like a handful of three-putts and short misses within five feet. We all know the old adage “drive for show, putt for dough,” yet this area of the game is the single biggest source of frustration for many golfers out there (not to mention amusement for those of you watching your buddy four-putt his third green of the day).
Putting is an art that requires touch, practice, and the right equipment to match the style of the golfer himself. But no two golfers are the same, and no one putter is best for everyone. Nicklaus and Spieth have two distinctly different putting strokes, yet they both knew how to find the bottom of the hole when they were on the green.
Don’t worry, we’ve done the digging for you to surface five putters that will help you hit straighter putts, each catered to a slightly different putting stroke and preference for feel.
