New Putters
The Money Club
by Eddie Hall , Equipment Writer
The putter is the club that all golfers use more than any other club in their bag . You ’ ve heard the saying , “ Drive for Show and Putt for Dough .” The number of golfers that come to me for drivers to add that extra distance , far outweighs the number looking to get the right putter . A long drive is “ sexier ” than making that three-foot putt , but the three-foot putts are the shots that make or break your score –– and often that skins game for all the dough !
So , which flat stick is the best for you ? How do you know which putter to choose ? The simple answer is the putter that you make the most putts with . Let ’ s look a little closer at the method that I have my golfers use to choose the correct putter , but first , we should look at some of the new putters that are out on the market now .
Odyssey Ai-ONE Putters
Odyssey introduces its new Ai-ONE line of putters , utilizing its revolutionary Artificial Intelligence ( Ai ) design and supercomputing capabilities to create the most advanced putter-face insert in golf . On the back of the putter face , Odyssey created many unique contours that minimize the speed losses on off-center hits . This greatly increases the sweet spot for the putter face . Controlling the distance of your putt equates to balls that are closer to the hole . The face insert has the White Hot urethane layer that greatly increases feel . This combination gives us a putter line that is very hard to beat . The Odyssey Ai-ONE putter line comes in a variety of models and ranges in price from $ 299.99 to $ 349.99 . These are a must-try when looking for your next putter .
PING PLD Milled Putters
PING Golf introduces five new models to the PLD Milled family for 2024 . The PLD line of putter heads begins with a solid block of forged 303 stainless steel that requires more than four hours of milling time to shape the surface . This extended time helps PING achieve the high quality and premium look of its PLD putters .
The deep Aggressive Milling Pattern ( AMP ) provides better feel and speed control for increased consistency with the PLD line of putters . The new models offered are the Anser , Anser 2D , Oslo 3 , DS72 , and Ally Blue 4 . These are the stock offerings , but with the new online putter customizer tool , golfers can truly make the putter their own . These putters retail at $ 449.99 .
