If you are looking for a model of consistency, look no further. Once again, the 2-ball produced outstanding consistency, especially from 20 feet. Often a lighter putter will produce better results.īEST STRAIGHT BACK, STRAIGHT THROUGH - ODYSSEY TRIPLE TRACK 2-BALLįor the second year in a row, the Odyssey Triple Track 2-Ball captured the Most Wanted Mallet crown.


On fast greens, a delicate touch is needed. On slow greens, heavier putters tend to perform better. There’s a case to be made for matching the weight of your putter to the speed of the greens you play most often. Evnroll and others offer face-milling patterns or inserts designed to not only promote smooth roll but consistent distance (and, in some cases, direction) on mishits. All Odyssey and Toulon putters offer multi-material Stroke Lab shafts. For example, you can find this feature in TaylorMade, Mizuno, Sub 70, Scotty Cameron and PXG mallet putters. It’s not uncommon to find putters with adjustable weighting which, in addition to changing head weight, can alter toe hang to suit either a stronger or less arcing stroke. While not quite to the same extent as drivers, putters have gone high-tech.

Face-balanced putters are generally well suited for golfers with more of a straight-back, straight-through stroke. A face-balanced putter will face the sky. If the putter head hangs with the toe closer to 6 o’clock, it’s toe-balanced. Balance the putter on your two index fingers. If you open and close the face more than average, consider a heel-shafted putter with more weight in the toe. As much as tempo is a factor in choosing the right putter, so too is the amount of arc in your stroke.
