The design of putters does so much to aid alignment and aim. But in many cases, an off-centre ball strike leads to a slight twisting (that impacts aim) and a real loss of speed (impacting distance control). Technology has definitely made an impact on that challenge.
The Scotty Cameron Phantom X 9 is near-face balanced mallet that offers excellent alignment properties but with a high-MOI (resistance to twisting) performance. The technology is setup for stability but also has customisable stainless steel sole weights that allow for proper weighting as per your preference. But not everyone enjoys a mallet.
The Super Select Newport 2 Plus is a high-performing blade design. Again, it has the customisable weights to allow this putter to be set up perfectly for your stroke.
If you’re struggling with either control over the distance you hit putts, or finding yourself missing the cup with makeable birdie opportunities, then there may be an equipment solution.
