2020 gear guide: New putters

For whatever your game needs, equipment designers have been busy tweaking existing lines for better performance and often introducing entirely new clubs.

Check out some of the putters that have been introduced for this season.

 

Odyssey Triple Track Ten putter

Odyssey Stroke Lab Triple Track

Price: $249.99

Odyssey’s new Stroke Lab Triple Track putters feature the same alignment lines found on some Callaway golf balls, creating an alignment system that blends from the putter’s crown directly into the ball. Each of the seven putters comes standard with a Stroke Lab shaft that has graphite in the upper and middle areas, then steel in the tip.

Ben Hogan Precision Milled

Price: $195

Each of the four Precision Milled putters is forged in a multistep process from soft 1020C carbon steel for a soft feel. The process stiffens and purifies the metal before a computer-controlled milling tool goes back and forth over the hitting area, shaving off tiny pieces to ensure the face
is flat. Finally, the putters get a matte Diamond Black Metal finish.

Ping Heppler Floki putter

Ping Heppler

Price: $245 – $270

Ping’s new Heppler family of putters incorporate a manufacturing technique that delivers a firmer feel and more forgiveness at the same time. Named for Rick Heppler, who started working with Ping’s founder, Karsten Solheim, in 1966 and stayed with the company for more than 50 years, the Heppler putters feature smooth faces that produce a crisp feel.

Mizuno M.Craft

Price: $299.99 each

Mizuno re-enters the putter market in North America with the three-club M.CRAFT family in 2020. Each is forged using 1025 mild carbon steel and is then CNC-milled. Interchangeable sole weights allow fitters to adjust the weight based on a player’s preferences or to achieve the desired swing weight.

PXG Gen2 Milled

Price: $500

Everything about the GEN2 family of putters was designed to be personalized. There are nine head styles ranging from heel-toe-weighted blades to high-MOI mallets, along with three hosel configurations and two available finishes, and every part is interchangeable. 

TaylorMade Truss putters

TaylorMade Truss

Price: $299.99

TaylorMade found a unique way to boost the stability in classic-looking putters, making them more forgiving without changing the look at address: Add a truss. The triangular support section where the shaft meets the head of the Truss putters creates extra horizontal stiffness and stability.

Scotty Cameron Special Select

Price: $399

There are no inserts in this updated version of the Select line because Cameron wants them to have a firmer feel at impact. Each of the eight Special Select putters starts as a block of 303 stainless steel, then a computer-controlled milling tool shaves off material until the final shape is achieved.

Tour Edge Exotics Wingman

Price: $199.99

The most technologically advanced flat stick Tour Edge has ever released, the Wingman is a compact mallet designed to provide the stability of a big putter with high moment of inertia. The chassis is stainless steel, and each
of the three putters has a large carbon-fiber plate on the bottom.
