Putters

The putter is the most-used club in golf. Think about it: If it takes you two putts per green, you'll use your putter 36 times during a round of golf. Many beginners will need to use it even more than that.

There are more varieties of putters on the market than any other club. That may be because choosing a putter is a very personal process. There is no "right" putter. There is simply the putter that is right for you.

Putters generally come in three styles of club head, and three varieties of lengths. Club heads can be a traditional blade, a heel-toe club head, or a mallet club head. Lengths are standard (a "normal" putter), belly putters and broomstick (a k a "broom handle" or "long") putters. Choosing one is simply a matter of personal choice.

Putters are, of course, designed to be used on the putting green.
