I am looking to upgrade my putter from a cheap Top Flite putter I bought off ebay for $15 a few years back when I first started playing.

I have a $50 gift card to my local shop so I was thinking of picking up a used putter with it. I am also willing to throw in an extra $10-20 if I have to.

What are some decent used putters in that range I should keep my eyes open for. Obviously I will try them out in the shop before I buy it.

Thanks in advance.

In my stand bag:
Driver: XR-03
Irons: Apex Edge CFT (5-E)
Hybrids: Apex Edge CFT (3-4)
Wedge: Sure Out LWPutter: BombshellShoes: University

Look at used offerings, you may really find a good score. Also, ask if the price marked is final; often they can adjust pricing on used clubs (especially if you're a good customer to them)

The new Cleveland putters are supposed to be in that range, aside from that, I don't know of any off hand in that price range new. Check and see what all they stock, and hit them all.

It should be fun to go and hit a bunch of new putters, to find the one that fits you, and your game, the best.

In my Sasquatch Tour Bag:

Driver - G10 10.5°: UST Pro Vorce V2 Shaft, Regular flex
Hybrid - G10 21° & 24°: TFC 129H, Stiff flex
Irons - S57 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW - Nippon 950GH stiff shaftsWedges - Tour 52°, 60° 56°Putter - 34" TracyBall - Treosoft

Check out the Ray Cook putters. I have a blade style Billy Baroo and I love it. They also have the blue goose, a milled putter thats only $60. You can order direct or from your store probably. The cleveland classic satin is a new milled putter thats also only $70.

I got my oddysey putter for $70, with only 1 round on it, from the guy I take lessons with.

If you take lessons with a pro, you might want to check if the shop or course he works at has some good deals, I got my putter and driver from a source like that.

Obviously pick the one that feels best to you and try as many as you can. Having said that the new Cleveland Classic line is nice, you can't beat a putter with a milled face for 70 bucks. I've also seen some of the older Taylormade Rosa models (older models but not used) for around 70-80. If you want to spend slightly more and walk away with a new putter, the Ping Karsten models run about 90. Still of course look into some used offerings, you could probably get a decent Odyssey, Ping, Nike or Yes! putter.

Look at the Ping Karsten, Cleveland Classic, and the new Odyssey line that is due out with the rest of their new putters. All of those would be in the $70-$90 range brand new.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

They also have the blue goose, a milled putter thats only $60.

I believe these are just milled faces. Not 100% milled.

I ended up getting a lightly used Cleveland Classic putter for $59.99. It just felt and looked nice. I had my $50 gift card and a $10 off $50+ coupon so I walked out with the putter for $3.18. It was a tossup between that and a new Pinseeker putter. Thanks for the advice guys.

Most used golf stores allow you to return a used club you bought from them for 90-100% credit if you do it within a certain amount of time (30 days, 60 days). This seems like a good way to get a club. Try it, play a few rounds, return it for another one if you don't like it (or if you just want to try something else).

I got it at Roger Dunn Golf Shop and I am pretty sure I have 60 days.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
