Looking for a new putter

[King Cobra II]

I'm currently in the market for a new putter. I don't want to spend more then 150 (in all liklihood). I've been looking at YES! putters for a while, but I wanted to get some feed back before making a decesion. Does anyone here play with a cleveland putter?

There will be as many recommendations as there are players. So - it's a pointless question. Tour players use all types - so none are better than others.

It's your choice, and there is no possible way that you can be advised. Try some out, ignore the brand and reputation (advertising budget) and see what you like the look and feel of. Anyone who makes a recommendation here will not be helping you.

So many choices....so many classics as well as so much new stuff. I've been out of the market for a while so I'm not a great advisor.


I wound up with my two putters due to their ability to help me with alignment...my nemesis. The PING is so long that you can see if it's square to the line you want very easily. The 2-Ball is so deep that the same thing occurs.

I've tried litterally hundreds of putters over the years.....not owned, just messed around with. Nobody in your foursomes will mind you trying out their flat sticks.....their woods probably not (I'd never ask them, anyway). Roll as many balls as you can with different putters.

I just got the odyssey white hot tour. It is an amazing putter.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

It's started already. You might like to rename the thread - "What putter do you use?" I'm just waiting for smeone to post something like "Scotty Camerons are "the best". The best putter for you might be one you find in a bargain barrel for $5. Make up your own mind!

i was looking for a new putter a few weeks ago.
narrowed down to ping or yes!
ended up with yes! callie because i like the slightly heavier head and the feel.
still waiting for it to arrive.

Anyone who makes a recommendation here will not be helping you.

while the rest of your post was true, this was not. We can give him recommendations on what to look out for. if we give him suggestions he can try those putters out instead of wasting his time with putters that he doesnt even know about because we didnt give him any ideas,

giving him suggestions narrows down his choice.

So true! The best putters are whatever you play the best with.

I love my Scotty and they are some of the most meticulously made putters out there, and the price really reflects this. Best of luck! Picking a flat stick it tough. It is even tougher sticking with one when you are not rolling it well.

I liked both the Ping Redwood and Taylormade Rossa putters. Mainly because of how well I could control the speed, and how well it sat on the ground. It doesn't matter what brand putter you buy as long as it does four things.


1. Rolls true to its line.
2. Sits well on the ground (so you don't duff it)
3. Is easy to square up.
4. Gives accurate distance consitently


If it has none of those qualities for you, then it isn't good for you.

I have to agree that there is no way this thread will help the poster. It wont narrow anything down, it will give him a broad spectrum of options. If thats what you want just look at TGW or any online retailer...

Maybe some refining of the question would help:

What are you using now?
Whats the problem you face (alignment, speed control, direction... etc.)?
What type of putter are you considering?
Blade or mallet?
Whats your putting style?
