I had a cheap blade putter that I just replaced a week or so ago with the Nike OZ T130. It has a very consistent roll to it. I think your best bet is going to a store and trying them out. I think consistency is the most valuable aspect of a putter, knowing how hard/soft it is going to be.

Driver: 09 9.5* Burner
Hybrid: Burner 3H 19*

I agree as well... try as many as possible... keep a few things in mind though. The three most important things IMHO (besides blade or mallet type) is length, "bend" lie angle, and grip. Lie angle being the one that gets looked over most I think, make sure the nose of your putter is flush with the ground to promote truer strokes and contact with the ball.

Just found this good description of why lie angle is so important in a putter...

The putter I have is a cheap one that came with the boxed set I bought when I started golfing last summer. I was wondering if a good putter will make a big difference in my putting. If so, what would you recommend?

Putter quality makes quite a difference in my opinion....i recommend the scotty cameron newport 2...beautiful putter..quality is second to none

gotta be honest.... I had a nice cameron I thought I liked... went to an odyssey cause putting was not feeling totally comfortable... switched back to the cameron to give it another shot... went back to the odyssey few months ago and will never look back. just sayin... don't believe the hype, believe how you feel.

The Cleveland classic series is pretty nice and is around $60.

Can't beat that for the money. Got more to spend, look at the Rife putters. Many models to choose from so take a look at the Rife website. Great place to order from. For $19 you can get custom loft, lie, and length. I have the Rife Antigua and it is the best putter I have ever used personally. Had Scotty Cameron, Bettinardi, Ody, etc.. but the Rife rolls the rock like no other. The "roll groove" technology is what makes the difference. Read more on that at the Rife website. These are insanely popular putters for good reason. Give one a try before buying a new putter.

    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.  
    • Day 2 - range session. Focus on tempo. Not as good as last time, but good.
