Why not go try them all and see what one you like better? Picking a putter based on what someone else says is not a good idea.

I couldn't agree more, you have a very good selection of top quality putters listed, but only you will know which one is right for you.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

Hit (x) putts with each, eliminate one.

That sounds so easy, but it took me all summer. I'd usually run out of time (places to be) and when I'd go back to the shop to pick up where I'd left off, there were new candidates to check out.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

Yeah, it generally is too good to be true. By doing this, even eliminating one a day or longer, you'll get an idea of what you don't want. Putters are personal, it could take a couple years before you find "the one".

ps good luck, heh~

I do not believe that brand, the putter your favorite pro carries, the putter that OTHER PEOPLE recommend without ever even seeing your putting stroke assuming they are even qualified to recommend a putter to you, or any of that has anything to do with finding the right putter. I think the process is much more involved than posting a thread on the internet and asking for people to chime in on THEIR opinion on a specific model/brand of putter such as the list of putters you have in the OP. I think what matters is YOUR opinion of the putters in that list, and also how you came toe ven create that list.

This time with a proper introduction (sorry iacas) - my opinion on how to choose a putter:

make sure you get the correct length. now you know what happens next, you can not blame your putter for missed putts.

The Mizuno is a great pick and great value. I also like the Never Compromise Voodoo Daddy

I almost bought the C-06. Nice putter but not quite what I was looking for. I putted with an Anser for over 12 years, so I would highly recommend that too. I'm not a Cameron fan at all, but any of those putters on your list are quality, so go to the biggest golf store you can find and try them all. Might be hard finding the C-06 at a B&B; store though. I see them used sometimes at GG at my other local shops.

Can't go wrong with the Mizuno Bettinardi C series, especially give the closeout prices that are being offered.

BudgetGolf.net is selling them for $100:

(selection is becoming limited however) Use the coupon code "1overpar" to get $10 off. The deal becomes $97 delivered to your door. Hard to pass up.

I bought the C-05 earlier this summer and like it mucho.

Try out a Rife Antigua before buying a new putter. Aside from custom fitting, nothing has helped my game more. These putters are the real deal man. http://rifeputters.com/products/island/26/antigua/

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
