Nike Unitized Tiempo £99.99
Gel Ruby £99.99
Betinardi original one £129.99

In that price range you might also want to try out the Odyssey White Hot XG insert putters too, they're really nice.

Out of your list I would go with the Yes! Tracy, I don't think I've ever seen a negative review of them. Try them all out though

i preferred the Anser 2 to the Anser though i voted Anser.- but you can't go wrong at that price for a Ping putter!

Great price on the Taylor Made Rossa series at the moment too.

You could flip a coin - Heads=Yes Tracy and Tails=Ping Anser either of those are great putters. I wouldnt consider them "cheapish" though just because you dont need a second mortgage to buy one.

I was in the market for a new putter a couple of weeks ago. I was thinking of the Rife line I see on TV all the time. Then one night before league my proshop had a YES Tracy II instock. I had heard about them but have never seen on in person. I tried it out,and within 3 strokes I new I wanted it. The groves really make the ball roll alot easier and its very noticeable. I love it,worth every cent.

If I were you I would go with the yes. I think they are great, even though the ping is a great value. In the long run I think you would be better with the yes putter.

why just not buy a Billy Baroo by Ray Cook? Super inexpensive and super awesome.

I voted for the Betti. I love them, gonna snag one sometime.
The Anser, certainly a great, great putter for the $.
One that really shocked me was the TaylorMade ones, those felt really nice in the store actually.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
