Used Golf Putter Buying guide

Putters are about confidence as much as performance. The right one helps you start the ball on line, control pace, and trust what you see over the ball. Start with head shape and stroke type before worrying about brand or looks. 

Blade vs mallet: what suits you?

• Blade putters
  Smaller heads with more feel and feedback. Best for players who like control, precision, and a traditional look.
• Mallet putters
  Larger heads with more stability and alignment help. Better for consistency and forgiveness on off-centre strikes.

If you struggle with consistency, start with a mallet. If you prioritise feel and touch, start with a blade.

Match your stroke

Different putters suit different stroke shapes.

• Straight stroke
  Minimal arc through impact. Usually suits face balanced putters.
• Slight arc
  Most common stroke type. Often suits slight toe hang putters.
• Strong arc
  More rotation through impact. Usually suits stronger toe hang blades.

Face balanced vs toe hang

• Face balanced
  The face points upward when balanced. Helps keep the face square through impact.
• Toe hang
  The toe points downward slightly. Encourages more face rotation through the stroke.

If your putts often push or pull, matching toe hang to your stroke can help.

Putter length: keep setup comfortable

Most putters range from 33 to 35 inches.

• 33 inch
  More upright setup, often suits shorter players or players who stand closer to the ball.
• 34 inch
  Most common option and suits a wide range of golfers.
• 35 inch
  Can suit taller players or more upright putting setups.

The right length helps your eyes sit naturally over the ball and improves consistency.

Face feel: softer vs firmer

• Softer feel
  More muted impact and smoother sound. Often preferred on faster greens.
• Firmer feel
  More feedback off the face and slightly faster ball speed. Often preferred on slower greens.

Neither is better. It comes down to what gives you confidence and personal feel.

By skill level

• Beginner
  Struggle with consistency on short putts or alignment? Start with a forgiving mallet putter and alignment aids to improve consistency. Choose a face balanced mallet putter with strong alignment lines, higher MOI, and a 34 inch length to help keep the face square and improve start line consistency. 
• Consistency-focused player
  Distance control changes from round to round or strikes feel inconsistent across the face. Choose a larger mallet or mid-mallet with perimeter weighting and a softer insert to stabilise pace and reduce twisting on mishits. 
• Feel and control player
  Prefer feedback off the face and want more control over pace and release. Choose a blade putter with toe hang, firmer face feel, and cleaner head shape for more touch and face rotation through impact.

Quick decision guide

• If you push or pull short putts often
  Choose a face balanced putter with a larger head and alignment aids to help keep the face square through impact.
• If your stroke moves straight back and straight through
  Choose a face balanced putter with minimal toe hang, usually a mallet or double bend design.
• If your stroke has a noticeable arc
  Choose a putter with toe hang to allow the face to open and close naturally through the stroke.
• If you struggle with pace control on long putts
  Choose a softer insert or larger mallet head to smooth out strike feel and distance consistency.
• If you want more forgiveness on off-centre strikes
  Choose a high MOI mallet with perimeter weighting and a wider body shape to keep ball speed more consistent across the face.
• If you prefer more feel and feedback
  Choose a blade putter with a firmer milled face and compact shape for cleaner feedback at impact.
• If you are not sure what to choose
  Start with a 34 inch face balanced mallet putter with clear alignment lines and moderate face feel. It suits the widest range of stroke types and skill levels.

Real club examples, what’s the difference?

• TaylorMade Spider GT
  High stability mallet putter built for consistency. Large head shape and perimeter weighting help reduce twisting on off-centre strikes, making it a strong option if you struggle with short putts or face control.
• Odyssey DFX 2021 2-Ball
  Soft-feeling mallet with strong alignment support. The 2-Ball design helps frame the ball clearly at address and suits players who want a smoother feel with help on setup and aim.
• L.A.B. OZ.1i
  Built to keep the face square naturally through the stroke. Strong option for players who struggle with face rotation or want a more repeatable putting motion without manipulating the putter through impact.

Condition and consistency guide

Every putter is individually inspected and graded across the head, face, alignment aids, shaft, and grip. We grade conservatively, so the condition shown is what you receive.

Mint (9 to 10 out of 10)
Minimal to no use

• Face: little to no strike wear
• Alignment aids and finish: clean with minimal marks
• Shaft and grip: close to new condition
  Looks and feels close to unused

Very good (8 out of 10)
Light use, very clean overall

• Face: light strike marks only
• Head: small cosmetic marks visible on close inspection
• Grip and shaft: very good condition with light wear only
  Well looked after with strong overall presentation

Good (6 to 7 out of 10)
Regular use, fully playable

• Face: visible strike wear from normal play
• Head: cosmetic marks or light finish wear
• Alignment aids: may show small signs of wear
• Grip: still usable or replaced if needed
  Performance and roll remain unaffected

Cosmetic wear does not affect roll, balance, or feel. Photos reflect the actual putter wherever possible, so you can see exactly what you are buying.
