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.

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 think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
