I recommend anything with an insert..You can't go wrong with an Odyssey--I really like the DFX series--you know the black charcoal ones--they are very smooth and cost little

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

The first thing I'd do is determine what putters you like the look of best. After you've figured out which one(s) you like the look of then hit putts and see which of the putters you like the feel of best (weight, shape, and insert will be a few things that will effect the feel of a putter). Finally make sure you get a putter that is the proper length for you (many people buy putters that are too long for their build and putting posture).

Truthfully it doesn't matter if you have a $1 putter or a $300 putter. The fact that people can take a wedge, hybrid, fairway wood, etc and make putts with semi-regularity shows that you don't need a bunch of fancy features and an expensive putter to make putts.

In my bag:

Go to the pro shop and putt until you find one you like, maybe even get fitted for a putter, then buy it used on ebay. Golf clubs depreciate in value really fast once they're used. If you change your mind, you'll probably be able to sell it for about the same price you paid. I've done this with 4 different putters until I found my Heavy, a few different sets of irons, and I'm currently playing with different drivers. My latest purchase was a TM Burner 460 (demo) for about $80. I'm skying it really bad so that's probably going back on ebay too.

By the way, clean the club and take pictures of it outside. It will sell for a lot more if you have good pictures.

Good advice.

My take is that the putter will pick you and then you will know. Those that search for the perfect putter never find it because it doesn't exist. Putting is about confidence. Now with that all said, I like the Odyssey Rossie. It picked me 10 years ago and we have been a team since. Like Avid said, you need to start with some basics and go from there. Once your putter has picked you (maybe with a little help from a PGA friend) you must trust it. Again, putting is about confidence. Of course if your putter fails you then you must punish it. My Rossie was in time-out for a month and has been much better since then.

Putting has been the least of my issues in golf and I'm still using my 25 year old Slotline inertial weighted.

my buddy used a miniature golf putter for the longest time. hes a pretty low handicap. i never knew why he used the crappy thing until i noticed how well it worked for him. He is a fantastic putter and thats why he shoots well, because of the black rubber putter he stole from Family Fun Center.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
