It’s not as sexy as the long game, but putting is usually what wins – and loses – championships. After all, unless you’re some kind of golfing freak of nature, the last shot you play on any given hole is probably a putt. So it makes sense to choose your equipment well for this vital part of your game. Here are five putters which will serve you well.

1) NIKE Blue Chip Series Putters

These mid-priced putters are a good bet for mid-range putts which require forgiveness, accuracy, feel and a lack of skidding which can derail even the best-aimed shot.

2) Odyssey White Steel 2-ball putters

Odyssey is one of the leading names when it comes to putters, and the white steel putters are possibly their flagship product. Widely respected by players, they feature an innovative visual tool in the form of a white golf ball which can be used to better visualize your putt.

3) Cleveland Classic

Designed for the golfer on a budget but not skimping on quality, the Cleveland Classic range of putters are a kind of modern throwback – the design is based on classic putters from the past, but the technology is first rate and definitely 21^st century. Don’t be deceived by the ultra-competitive price; this putter can hold its own with the best of them.

4) Ping Karsten Anser Putter

Another putter, like the Cleveland Classic above, which offers serious value for money while in no way compromising on quality. Ping are one of the most respected companies when it comes to putters, so to get your hands on one for the price these are going for is not to be sniffed at. Absolutely worth serious consideration.

5) TaylorMade Rossa Core

TaylorMade make putters for various budgets; this one is moderately priced and, according to the company, improves considerably on its predecessor by offering much more feel and therefore control. It also looks nice, which is something that a lot of golfers think about. This putter stands on its own as a good option.
