Ping Sydney

The Ping Sydney putter is a wide-footprint, geometric mallet designed for use by golfers who employ a straight-back-and-through putting stroke. The putter has a good feel and performance well in accuracy and distancy control, but a "tinky" sound drew complaints.

The KM-005 model is reviewed from Miura Golf's 1957 Series putters. It's a forged putter and like forged irons, it lets the golfer feel those off-center strikes.

Tour Edge Backdraft GT+

This putter retails for only $50, a huge savings compared models from some more famous companies. And it comes standard with a jumbo grip. But does it perform?

Sweet Spot Golf Ax8

Sweet Spot Golf makes brightly marked clubs for women. The Ax8 putter, or "pink" putter, is one of those clubs, and the review really liked the pleasing "ting" that sounds at contact.

This geometric mallet from TaylorMade gets a five-star review for its performance, its setup, and the alignment opticals on top of the clubhead.

Cleveland VP509

The VP509 from Cleveland Golf has a very clean look and alignment lines, and very solid feel. Any cons? Hmmm ... as putter reviews go, this one is pretty good.

Marquis Putter by Elite Sports Products

This putter has a distinctive look to its clubhead with rear "wings" and "accelerating arrows" alignment aids. Does the look lead to distinctive performance?

Dead On Putters
