So, went into the shop yesterday evening to try out some new putters, thinking that the difference between a sub £100 putter and a £200 putter would be marginal or minimal, but how wrong i was.

For some reason every putter that i picked up that felt really good and solid in my hands and when making putts, had a £200 price tag!!! It only now that i realise that there IS a major difference in putters priced below £100 and putters priced around the £160 - £200.

Yesterday evening, i went into the shop with a view to buying the Ping anser karsten at a sensible price of £60. But now that i've putted with the Ping redwood, Odyssey black series and (now my favourite of them all) the Scotty studio newport 2.0... how can i, firstly, go back to my Odyssey 'fang' putter and how can i NOT buy a scotty, knowing that if i settle for anything other than the scotty, then the doubt will always be in the back of my mind!

Why did i have to try those expensive putters... and more importantly, how am i going to afford one!

If you go for the Scotty don't forget to get it personalised with "Beef Master" on it!



I think with putters, more than any other piece of equipment in golf, what works is what works.

Some folk actively use old putters from the Vardon era that didn't have the benefit of computer mathematical models, CAD or precision manufacturing techniques, but use them to great effect they do.

I'd say that there is a certain sense of fabrication "quality" that is associated with the more expensive brands, but - essentially - if you've found something that works, whether 5 quid or 500, never let it go!

I was seduced by a Scotty Cameron Newport Studio Select the other day. 33", left handed, putter sex on a stick. You don't find that spec on the shelf every day. On paper - and the pro shop carpet - it was perfect.

Didn't buy it in the end though as once out on the putting green it wasn't a patch on my 3 year old MacGregor V-Foil.

It was nice though.......

My brother bought a Ryder blade putter from Argos for a fiver, it was the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen! It had the build quality of a pre-war Lada!

The Face was pissed and every time he Tried to putt with it the ball would go in a diiferent direction

We Layed it Flat, Face down on his work bench and there was daylight coming under it!

Sometimes you do get what you pay for and Quality does cost!
